I've basically been fishing my entire life. I started out as a freshwater fisherman fishing rivers and lakes and then when I moved to Florida I began fishing the saltwater flats, reefs and wrecks. After a successful career in the business world I began exploring the idea of becoming a charter captain/guide and started the process of obtaining my US Coast Guard License to pursue my true passion for fishing. I've been a licensed captain for the past 10 years and I am a full time guide in the lower Florida Keys where I reside. In addition to my USCG License, I am a guide member of the Lower Keys Guides Association – a guide member of the Florida Coastal Conservation Association, and an accredited captain of the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary & Blue Star operator. I am also fully insured to operate as a for hire charter/guide service. I also believe in giving back to our country service men and women so I do donate trips to the Wounded Warrior Foundation.

    Great day out on the water!

    半日釣りツアー – バックカントリー (copy) • 2 大人 • 1 人の子供

    Very safe professional operation. Beautiful boat. My son and I had a great day put fishing with captain Jim. We learned a lot and had fun. We caught enough fish to eat and my son (11) has lots of stories to share!

    Half day with Capt. Jim

    半日釣りツアー – バックカントリー • 2 大人

    I took my mother on a half day trip with Captain Jim. He was an excellent guide, as good as any I have been fishing with (and I have been on guided trips from the northern end of British Columbia to Ixtapa Guatemala). He was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and above all knows where to find fish. You would be hard pressed to find any better guide in the Keys. He even shared his recipe for blackened snapper with me and stuck around for cocktails at the tiki bar. Whether you are an experienced fly fisherman or a novice looking to have fund you will get you money's worth with Captain Jim. P.S. He is the preferred guide for Texans visiting Key West.

    Full day trip with Cpt. Jim

    終日釣りツアー – バックカントリー • 2 大人

    The ONLY reason I gave 4 stars for experience was because the fishing was awful as far as what Cpt Jim says he usually catches with people. We DID catch a lot of fish, but 1 keeper Snapper and that was all. Everything else too small. You can't control where the good fish are! It was a fun trip and we learned a few different fishing setups we can use in the future. Cpt Jim is very knowledgeable and didn't mess around if we stopped at a new spot and weren't catching a lot; he would tell us to reel in and we would move again. Overall, would definitely recommend to anyone, and will book with him again if we go to Marathon in the future.

    Tiffany, Thank you and Kent for coming out, it was a tough day of fishing for sure and I hope to see you guys in the future and get another chance to get you out on the water!

    With cooler water temperatures the inshore Seatrout bite has been on fire! We've been catching some true trophy fish with some in the 24" to 26" range, we've been releasing those big breeders to keep the stock fresh and healthy as there are plenty of fish that fit the 15" to 19" slot to take to the dinner table.

    The bite at the reef line was a little slow and the fish were fickle but we managed to boat 19 of a 20 limit maximum of Yellowtail Snapper with most fish in the 14 to 16 inch range which is pretty respectable. Every fish we caught was a keeper so we had no throwbacks. The on drawback to fishing the reef is there has to be good current and low winds to make it successful.

    We couldn’t have had a better time. Captain Jim helped my wife tremendously and she caught a lot of fish. I would highly recommend that you would truly enjoy your experience with him.

    With cooling temps both in the air and water the inshore bite has been really good, the Cero and Spanish Mackerel and the Mangrove Snapper have been really good and the Spotted Seatrout have turned on also.

    Love fishing 3rd trip salt water. Could not have gotten a better guide. Super nice and knowledgeable about the whole experience. From the areas we fished and the history of those areas. Knew every type of fish caught. What was edible and not. Looking forward to the next adventure with Captian Jim Loftus.

    Had a really great day fishing with Captain Jim today!! Caught 10 different species of fish! Limited out on some really nice snapper, also caught a nice Mackerel to keep. A huge ladyfish, had it to the boat when a BIG bull shark came up behind it and gulped it up!! So exciting!! Captain Jim gave us alot of good fishing advice and recommendations. We highly recommend Captain Jim!!!

    Captain Jim was a great teacher. Our goal was to understand back-country fishing tips and tricks relative to kayak. Jim understood our goals much better than previous guides who used "big-boat" power and mobility. Jim's smaller boat had a shallow draft and worked well in waters appropriate for our kayak fishing. Jim concentrated on helping us understand how how to fish local waters effectively and safely from a kayak. Jim started with the basics specifically bottom fishing and drift fishing. This was great because we could easily do these methods in shallow waters and channels. We hooked fish almost immediately and caught fish all day. My son logged into something in the 40 lb range. Jim focused on methods practical to a kayak - including how to catch fish not having to have a live-well to keep shrimp alive. He explained the best practice about fishing the tides. He was really good at helping us break fresh-water fishing habits which led to hooking failure. Jim's boat is very quiet. We start fishing in about 1/2 hour. Prior guided experiences began with an hour journey with the loud roar of a big engine. As kayakers - we like quiet - it was nice to have instant gratification to start fishing. Take-homes: * How to avoid fresh-water fishing techniques that cause you to lose fish * How to time the tide * When to use and How to tie a spider hitch * How to fish the channels with bait that travels by kayak Pictures: 1) Basics of bottom rig 2) Shark rig using an amber-jack

Weather cooling but the bite is getting

Oct 18, 2021 • 厳しく管理するキー
With the waters in the backcountry starting to cool off the bite is picking up very nicely. The Mangrove Snapper and Mutton Snapper fishing has been pretty good and will only continue to get better now that fall has arrived. With the onset of our winter months yet to some the Mackerel and Spotted Seatrout fishing will be getting underway here shortly. Our usual suspects such as big Sharks and huge Barracuda along with the Jack Crevalle are typically always up for a fight but even more in fall and winter.

cooler waters = better fishing

Jan 7, 2021 • 厳しく管理するキー
With the waters in the shallows of the backcountry ranging anywhere from 65 to 75 degrees depending on the weather pattern, the fishing has been pretty good provided we've had a couple days of stable sunshine to warm the flats. The Spotted Seatrout bite is on although the huge trout have not made it onto the seagrass just yet, there are plenty of 15 to 18 inch fish around though. The Cero and Spanish Mackerel bite has been pretty consistent. The Mangrove Snapper have been plentiful and other species such as Ladyfish, Barracuda, Shark and Jack's are mixed in adding for a fun day on the water.
