    Captian Gary is the man

    Halvdagstur • 2 voksne

    We booked the half day trip with Captain Gary and had a blast!! It was a great time on the water even though the fishing was tricky. We still made the best of it an caught: tarpon: ✔️ trout: ✔️ snook: ✔️ black drum: ✔️. The black drum on the flats was something we didnt expect to run into but they were a blast to sight cast at and hook into! Captain Gary was a great guide and I will definitely be booking with him again when I come back to the keys.

    Great Trip

    Halvdagstur • 2 voksne

    We had an awesome day on the water. Captain Gary is a good dude and we had a blast. He worked hard to get us on snook, tarpon, trout, and jacks. We cannot recommend Captain Gary enough and we are looking forward to the next trip!

    Incredibly knowledgeable captain

    3/4 dagstur • 3 voksne • 1 barn

    Captain Gary was awesome! I’ve gotten to fish in Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Mexico and various places in the U.S. this past year and I would venture to say he’s the most knowledgeable captain I’ve had, he was great with teaching my son some tips on casting. He was great. I cannot say enough good things about him. Definitely recommend booking with him!

    Had a great time on the water with Capt Gary. Great job helping us older, unexperienced fishermen have an enjoyable outing. He tried his best to get us on fish, but the wind got the best of us. Will try again next trip. Thanks Capt Gary!

Hva er det som biter med Ivory Keys Charters i Islamorada

Cobia begynner å dukke opp, noen ganger i store stimer. Multemigrasjon bringer Seilfisk nær kysten, sammen med de siste Tunfisk (Svartfinnet). Dette er også en flott tid for Speckled Trout og Redfish i grunt vann.
