Reel Therapy Fishing Charters offers a calm and relaxing day on the waters of Big Pine Key. Fish the flats on the Gulf side of the Keys.
Take your fishing buddy and hop on board Capt. Jim’s 17’ skiff. Its 90 HP Yamaha engine will power you to the local honey holes. There, you will take a rod in your hand and the action will begin.
If you want to test yourself in spinning and light tackle fishing, Capt. Jim will provide you with rods and reels by Penn and Shimano. And if you’d rather catch fish with a fly, Sage rods will be at your disposal.
On your day out, you will be targeting a large variety of species that call the local waters home. If you are more interested in sport fishing, your main target will be Tarpon, Permit, Snook, and Bonefish.
As well as that, you can get your hands on Speckled Trout, Redfish, Mangrove Snapper, Jack Crevalle, Cobia, Barracuda, and Blacktip Shark to name a few. Capt. Jim will let you know which species you are allowed to keep.
When you are done fishing and catching, you will come back to shore. There, Capt. Jim will clean and fillet the catch for you. You can have it for dinner later or just fill the freezer!
All trips come with gear, tackle, and bait which will be prepared before the trip. You will only need to bring your own food and drinks with you.

Although the target was bonefish, Capt. Jim put us on to some tarpon and I managed to get a tarpon on my fly rod. It was an awesome experience.
