Against The Grain Charters is all about making sure you have a great experience on the water. Captain Charlie Rogers is a South Florida native, and he has been into fishing ever since he was a kid. His knowledge of the local waters and skill in many types of fishing techniques is what keeps his customers on the fish.
The boat you'll be fishing on is a 28' WhiteWater center console that's powered by a pair of 200 HP Yamaha engines. It's outfitted with all the necessary safety and navigation gear needed for a safe and productive journey, and other amenities such as outriggers and a live well for bait are sure to come in handy. There's plenty of room on the boat for up to six anglers, making it perfect for bringing some friends along for the ride.
Depending on what you want to do, you can go fishing offshore for Mahi Mahi, Sailfish, Wahoo, Tuna and much more. Alternatively, stay near the reef where you will target those tasty bottom fish such as Grouper, Red Snapper, Hogfish, and others. If you want to do some tournament-style fishing for Mahi Mahi to get a feel of that authentic experience, Captain Charlie can arrange that too.
The price of a trip includes rods, reels, and terminal tackle, as well as complimentary cleaning of the catch after the trip. Feel free to bring along some drinks and snacks, and it's very much recommended you have a pair of sunglasses and a hat with you, so you can be comfortable during the whole trip.

David Cunningham5.0VerifiedFebruary Trip
8 Hour Trip – Offshore/Wreck on February 11, 2026 • 5 adultsCaptain Rodgers was extremely friendly, understanding, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He helped make a last-second trip become reality, and it was some of the best fishing I’ve done. I honestly couldn’t thank him enough for his accommodations. I compared a lot of different choices for charters, and overall, Against the Grain seemed like the best one. After actually going, it did not disappoint one bit. I’d recommend Captain Rodgers and Against the Grain to anyone looking to go on a charter, he’s the best there is
Scott TabaccoRepeat angler5.0VerifiedMahi Mayhem

Finally we found some birds and the fight was on. we wound up with over 20 Mahi. Dinner for a few nights. Capt was great and put us where we needed to be.

8 Hour Trip – Offshore/Wreck on June 28, 2025 • 5 adultsFishing with captain charlie was one of the best charters I’ve been on. We caught the biggest fish of the day within the first hour on the water followed by another right after. And if you think it stopped there your surely mistaken. Captain Charlie made sure we kept moving spots to ensure a bite would come. Me and my family had a great time and we highly recommend booking with him!
Michael Norris5.0VerifiedIt’s called fishing but we were catching
10 Hour Trip – Full Day Offshore on July 23, 2025 • 4 adultsA plus Captain. Weather was not the best but that did not stop Captain Charlie from putting us on the fish. We have been fishing around the country. I thought I understood fishing but I was wrong. Charley showed us some tricks that made the fish want to be caught. Great trip.
Brian FeinsteinRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHighly recommend
4 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing on March 4, 2024 • 5 adults • 1 childI have been fishing the upper Florida keys with my family for years and Captain Charlie was fantastic. He is a fourth generation key largo resident and knows these waters inside and out. Very friendly, excellent with the kids, clean boat, and captain Charlie taught us all better fishing techniques. Will recommend without reservation. Looking forward to fishing with Against The Grain charters again.
Matthew Klunk5.0VerifiedExcellent experience
6 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing on June 8, 2024 • 2 adultsHighly recommend Captain Charlie, he is a hard worker and was communicative and on time. We caught fish and we had a great time! His boat was clean and fueled and iced up at the dock before we arrived. We would definitely book again with Against the Grain.
James CarrollRepeat angler5.0VerifiedOffshore / Wreck Fishing with Captain Charlie
8 Hour Trip – Offshore/Wreck on February 24, 2023 • 1 adultHad an amazing day with Captain Charlie. He knows the area like the back of his hand and we were able to get into a number of fish species. I also learned a lot of new techniques. The boat and equipment are all top conditioning. Got into some nice yellowtail snapper and had a number of bit hits both wreck fishing and trolling, but lost them on the retrieve. I had a great day and will be calling Captain Charlie again next year!

4 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing on September 7, 2023 • 2 adultsGreat time & captain! He put us right on the fish & we did well enough to attract the predators of the sea! We had fun getting our fish past the bull sharks & barracuda that came for our fish! Very knowledgeable & patient he helped us get these beauties to the boat & we were up for the challenge! Excellent & would recommend & would love to go again! Weather was perfect!
