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.

    Tornerei a pescare con il Capitano Derek

    Uscita di pesca di mezza giornata (Mattina) • 2 adulti

    Il Capitano Derek era preparato, puntuale e professionale. Tutto quello che si cerca in una guida. Ha risposto rapidamente quando l'ho contattato e ha risposto a tutte le mie domande. Ha fornito consigli sulla tecnica che non sembravano critiche. Sarebbe una buona scelta per un charter in famiglia con bambini piccoli e altrettanto valido per un gruppo di pescatori esperti. Pescherò di nuovo con lui la prossima volta che sarò in zona.

    Una Giornata da Cinque Stelle in Acqua con Reel Deal Fishing!

    Uscita di pesca di mezza giornata (Mattina) • 2 adulti

    Se stai cercando la giornata perfetta sull'acqua, devi assolutamente prenotare un'uscita con Reel Deal Fishing. La nostra guida, Derek, è stata semplicemente fantastica dall'inizio alla fine. La sua barca è davvero di primissima qualità e tenuta in condizioni impeccabili, ed era chiaro fin da subito che la sicurezza è la sua priorità assoluta. La conoscenza delle acque di Derek è incredibile; ci ha portato dritti nei posti migliori e ha condiviso consigli di pesca da esperto che hanno fatto una differenza enorme nei nostri risultati. Alla fine abbiamo pescato tantissimo pesce, che abbiamo potuto portare a casa per una cena straordinaria con il pescato fresco! Ciò che ha reso questa uscita davvero speciale, però, è stata l'ospitalità di Derek. È incredibilmente competente, paziente e gentile, facendoci sentire più come amici a cui stava mostrando i suoi posti preferiti del posto, piuttosto che semplici clienti. È un ospite di livello mondiale che tiene davvero alla tua esperienza; si capiva che si stava divertendo quanto noi semplicemente nel vederci passare un momento meraviglioso. Non possiamo raccomandarlo abbastanza! È stato il momento clou del nostro viaggio e una vera esperienza da 'reel deal'!

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

    Uscita di mezza giornata - Barriera corallina • 6 adulti

    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 è stato fantastico!

    Uscita di pesca di mezza giornata (Mattina) • 2 adulti

    Derek si è rivelato provvidenziale, visto che la nostra prenotazione precedente era stata cancellata e stavamo cercando un'alternativa dell'ultimo minuto. Derek si è preso il tempo di parlarci al telefono per capire cosa cercavamo in acqua, andando ben oltre le aspettative. Alla fine abbiamo pescato tantissimo, con ogni tipo di specie e abbiamo persino preso uno squalo! Derek era anche molto simpatico e abbiamo chiacchierato per tutto il tempo. Una raccomandazione facile 10/10 per chiunque cerchi una bella giornata in acqua!

    Fantastica mattinata di pesca!

    Uscita di pesca di mezza giornata (Mattina) • 1 adulto

    Il Capitano Derek mi ha portato subito sui pesci! Abbiamo catturato numerose Spotted seatrout, Jack, Mangrove snapper e Lemon shark. Purtroppo ho perso qualche Snook e qualche snapper, ma la colpa è mia, perché lui sa benissimo dove si trovano i pesci! È una guida esperta, disponibile e simpatica. La sua barca è nuova (12/5/25) e l'attrezzatura da pesca/esche erano perfettamente adatte alla nostra uscita. Cosa più importante, sa comunicare benissimo: digli cosa vuoi pescare e lui ti preparerà per una giornata fantastica! Mattinata divertente!

    Derek ha una barca fantastica, un ragazzo davvero simpatico. Ha trovato i pesci presto e siamo rimasti su di loro praticamente tutto il giorno. Ci siamo spostati e abbiamo trovato una specie diversa, è stata una giornata fantastica!

    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.

    io e mia moglie ci siamo divertiti moltissimo, abbiamo pescato tutto il giorno e mia moglie ha persino preso una Cernia gigante atlantica di circa 18 kg, la barca e tutte le canne e i mulinelli erano ottimi, il capitano era fantastico e ha praticamente chiacchierato con noi per tutto il tempo

    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.

Cosa abbocca con Reel Deal Charters Flats Edition a Key Largo

I fronti freddi iniziano ad arrivare, il che può rendere la pesca variabile. Le piane e le acque interne sono sempre una buona scelta, con Snook, Redfish e Speckled Trout che abboccano bene. Altrimenti, scegli una giornata calma per uscire verso le barriere coralline o in altura.

Winter fishing

gen 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

dic 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

ago 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!

mar 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.
