I grew up in South Florida and my father was a FWC (Florifa Wildlife Commition) officer down here for 36 years. He taught me the love of the outdoors and conservation for our fragile ecosystem. From that, my love for being on the water evolved into teaching and showing other people that don't have the privilege to experience our ecosystem that we have to offer.

    Würde wieder mit Kapitän Derek angeln

    Halbtagesausflug (Morgen) • 2 Erwachsene

    Kapitän Derek war vorbereitet, pünktlich und professionell. Alles, was man sich von einem Guide wünscht. Er hat schnell geantwortet, als ich mich gemeldet habe, und alle meine Fragen beantwortet. Er gab Hinweise zur Technik, die sich nicht wie Kritik anfühlten. Er wäre eine gute Wahl für einen Angelcharter mit kleinen Kindern und genauso gut für eine Gruppe erfahrener Naturliebhaber. Ich werde beim nächsten Mal in der Gegend wieder mit ihm angeln.

    Ein Fünf-Sterne-Tag auf dem Wasser mit Reel Deal Fishing!

    Halbtagesausflug (Morgen) • 2 Erwachsene

    Wenn Sie auf der Suche nach dem ultimativen Tag auf dem Wasser sind, sollten Sie unbedingt einen Ausflug mit Reel Deal Fishing buchen. Unser Guide Derek war von Anfang bis Ende einfach fantastisch. Sein Boot ist wirklich erstklassig und wird in makellosem Zustand gehalten, und es war sofort klar, dass Sicherheit seine oberste Prioritat ist. Dereks Kenntnis des Gewassers ist unglaublich; er navigierte uns direkt zu den besten Spots und teilte Expertentipps zum Angeln, die einen enormen Unterschied fur unseren Erfolg machten. Wir haben am Ende eine Menge Fische gefangen, die wir mit nach Hause nehmen durften, um ein fantastisches frisch gefangenes Abendessen zu geniessen! Was diesen Ausflug jedoch wirklich hervorhob, war Dereks Gastfreundschaft. Er ist unglaublich kenntnisreich, geduldig und freundlich und liess uns eher wie Freunde fuhlen, denen er seine Lieblingsplatze zeigte, als bloss wie Kunden. Er ist ein erstklassiger Gastgeber, dem Ihr Erlebnis wirklich am Herzen liegt; man konnte sehen, dass er genauso viel Spass hatte wie wir, einfach weil er uns eine tolle Zeit haben sah. Wir konnen eine Buchung bei ihm nur waermstens empfehlen! Es war der Hohepunkt unseres Ausflugs und ein echtes 'Reel Deal'-Erlebnis!

    Best offshore trip I have ever been on, excellent Captain!

    Halbtagesausflug-Riff • 6 Erwachsene

    We decided to go offshore and it was a great decision. Captain immediately put us on Mahi and everyone caught one. Ended up with 14 total good sized Mahi and more than enough filets. Captain Eric is extremely knowledgeable, top notch equipment and the Contender 39' is a fishing machine. I highly recommend this Charter and will be back next year!

    Derek war großartig!

    Halbtagesausflug (Morgen) • 2 Erwachsene

    Derek kam genau im richtigen Moment, da unsere vorherige Buchung storniert werden musste und wir kurzfristig nach einem Ersatz suchten. Derek nahm sich die Zeit, um mit uns telefonisch zu sprechen und ein Gefühl dafür zu bekommen, was wir auf dem Wasser suchten, und hat dabei alles gegeben. Am Ende haben wir richtig viele Fische verschiedenster Arten gefangen und sogar einen Hai erwischt! Derek war auch sehr freundlich und wir haben uns die ganze Zeit bestens unterhalten. Eine klare 10/10-Empfehlung für jeden, der einen tollen Tag auf dem Wasser verbringen möchte!

    Toller Morgen beim Fischfangen!

    Halbtagesausflug (Morgen) • 1 Erwachsener

    Kapitän Derek hat mich schnell auf Fische angesetzt! Wir haben zahlreiche Meerforellen, Jacks, Graue Schnapper und Zitronenhaie gefangen. Leider habe ich ein paar Snooks und Schnapper verloren, aber das liegt an mir, denn er weiß genau, wo die Fische sind! Er ist ein erfahrener, zuvorkommender und freundlicher Guide. Sein Boot ist neu (12/5/25), und sein Angelgerät/Köder war genau das Richtige für unseren Ausflug. Am wichtigsten ist, dass er gut kommuniziert - sag ihm, worauf du angeln möchtest, und er sorgt dafür, dass du einen großartigen Tag hast! Ein toller Morgen!

    We headed out early for a morning half day fishing charter in Everglades National Park, and conditions were excellent — Sunny with about 15mph winds. The Mangrove Snapper bite was absolutely dialed in, with consistent action throughout the day. Spotted Seatrout have also been around we were able to catch several nice ones for dinner. We sent some quality Mangrove Snapper and Spotted Sea trout home for a fresh Florida Keys dinner, while the rest were carefully released to fight another day. The trips showstopper was the long fight on a 40lb Goliath grouper with light tackle back in the mangroves it can prove to be a tough battle. Overall, it was a fantastic half day Everglades National Park fishing charter — great weather, steady action, and plenty of smiles back at the dock. If you're looking to experience backcountry fishing in the Florida Keys, conditions are shaping up nicely summer is around the corner which is my favorite time of year to fish.

    Meine Frau und ich hatten eine tolle Zeit, wir haben den ganzen Tag Fische gefangen. Meine Frau hat sogar einen ungefähr 40 Pfund schweren Riesenzackenbarsch gefangen. Das Boot und alle Ruten und Rollen waren super, der Kapitän war großartig und hat sich die ganze Zeit mit uns unterhalten.

    This weekend’s trips produced excellent action across the Florida Keys, with steady bites and a great variety of species coming over the rails. On our Florida Keys fishing charters, anglers enjoyed productive conditions and nonstop opportunities throughout the day. We put together a solid dinner catch of mangrove snapper, landing a bunch of nice-sized mangrove snappers that were perfect for the table. The snapper bite stayed consistent, making for a fun and rewarding inshore fishing trip. The highlight of the weekend was an absolute beast — a giant jack crevalle that took nearly 20 minutes to land, putting both angler and tackle to the test. These powerful fish are known for their strength, and this one did not disappoint. Adding to the excitement, we also landed a flounder, which is a rare catch in the Florida Keys and always a cool surprise on a guided fishing charter. Along with that, we caught several miscellaneous species, keeping rods bent and action steady throughout the trip. Overall, it was another successful weekend of Florida Keys fishing, with great variety, memorable fights, and plenty of fresh fish headed home. Conditions are shaping up nicely, and we’re looking forward to more productive Florida Keys fishing trips in the coming days.

Was beißt bei Reel Deal Charters Flats Edition in Key Largo

Kaltfronten beginnen einzutreffen, was das Angeln durcheinander bringen kann. Flats und Backcountry sind immer eine gute Wahl, wobei Snook, Redfish und Speckled Trout gut beißen. Andernfalls wählen Sie einen ruhigen Tag, um auf die Riffe oder ins offene Meer zu fahren.

Winter fishing

Jan. 9, 2026 • Key Largo
Fishing has been pretty strong on the shallow reefs with a wide variety of snapper and grouper lately. Some wahoo and sailfish have been showing up with the cooler weather. Fishing should continue to get better during the tempature drops. Plenty of opportunities to have a fun day on the water

Action packed days on the water

Dez. 29, 2025 • Key Largo
The bite has been hot lately with plenty of action and great variety. We’ve been getting into big schools of jack crevalle, providing nonstop excitement, hard runs, and plenty of drag-screaming fights to keep rods bent all trip long. For those looking to take something home for dinner, the mangrove snapper bite has been steady with quality fish that have been perfect for the table. Even better, there have been some larger snook showing up in the mix. We’ve seen some impressive fish cruising around and feeding, giving us some incredible opportunities at trophy-class catches. With good water, steady bait, and strong tides, conditions have been lining up great and the fish have been responding. Overall, it’s been a great time to get out on the water—plenty of action, great variety, and chances at some truly memorable fish.

Late Summer Fishing is Underrated

Aug. 8, 2025 • Key Largo
The redfish have been schooling up recently making the best time of year to target redfish while sight fishing. I have been seeing schools of up to 20+ fish cruising in inches of water making for a show. I have also seen and caught more 30+ inch redfish these past few months than I have going back years. The snook fishing bite early in the morning has been hot fishing small troughs stacked with fish. You might have to weed through some 24" fish to find the real big ones, but they still pull plenty hard. I've also been seeing some big tarpon cruising the shallows with their back out of the water feeding on mullet. This is one of my favorite times of year to fish because the weather is usually nice and all the species are active making it a great time of year to target a backcountry slam.

Inshore bite is hot!

März 1, 2025 • Key Largo
Cooler morning temperatures are turning the bite on. The past few weeks fishing has been great with 3 backcountry slams caught in a day the redfish, snook, and trout are eating. Snook season just opened up so this weekends purpose was to bring home fresh snook and that we did along with a lot of other bycatch. The redfish seemed to be everywhere with a quadruple hookup to end the day with only 3 people onboard made for a great end of the trip.
