Captain Zane and 1st Mate Taylor were wonderful!  They were kind, courteous and knowledgeable.  The current was not on our side and made it a little difficult to start but Captain Zane was determined!!!  We eventually landed in a school of Yellowtail and were realin them in one right after another.  Zane made one more stop on the way in shore where we were able to catch a couple good size barracudas- those were fun.  We all had a great time and will definitely Book with Captain Zane again in the future!!

We had a great time today. The fish were hard to find but the captain worked hard to make sure we found some. The boat is comfortable, seating and a table inside and actually comfortable seating on the sides of the boat. Tons of nice rods and reels. We brought our lunch for the 6 hour trip. Plenty of room for our stuff. Crew brought plenty of waters for us in a cooler. Great experience, definitely recommend. We are also shipping our catch back from finz dive shop.

We came to Key West looking forward to catching and eating freshly caught Snapper.  Not only are Zane and Jared amazing with kids and making sure they have a blast, they put us on some serious bottom fishing. We landed multiple massive mutton snapper, keeper lane, mangrove, yellowtail and a large dog snapper.  Zane released the dog snapper giving us great Karma to start our trip.  Watching these guys work was impressive to say the least. From filling the live well with pilchards to knowing what’s on the hook before even seeing it.  They sent us home with all the cleaned fish and recommended a great place (Hurricane Hole) to have it prepared.  Best seafood we have had in a long time. The entire experience was amazing.  The only thing we would change when we return is booking an all day trip!  Thank you Zane and Jared on Second Nature Charters for checking off one of our dream fishing trips.

My wife, daughter and I did a charter to celebrate her birthday. We did the 6 hour reef/wreck trip. We had a fantastic time. We caught a lot of good sized Yellowtail. My daughter caught her largest fish ever, a Grouper (unfortunately not in season so we couldn’t eat it). We had some exciting events, like a large Barracuda taking the back half of my Yellowtail near the boat. The crew was entertaining, worked hard and gave us helpful direction as we are lake fishers. We didn’t sit in one spot if it wasn’t producing, we found the fish. We will be using Second Nature again.

Capt Zane and his crew mate Russia beat me to the boat, now I’m an eager fisherwoman and I got there early, they were already there getting the boat prepped and ready to leave promptly at 0700, I love efficiency. They greeted me, helped me aboard and we were off. The waters weren’t kind to many boats out of key west on 8/13/24 but they were kinder to us than anyone else. I attribute so much of this to Zane and his crew. These guys really know the waters and the structures underneath the water. I’m extremely happy to say I’m ending my trip on a serious high and going home with some fish for my freezer. I will definitely fish with these guys again and again and again
Don’t sleep on these guys, book your trip. Just have patience, remember these guys work on the water and phone service isn’t always available like land lubbers like to wish. They will get back with you, you will get your trip booked, you will have a great trip.
Cheers!!!
Thanks again for a great time on the water Capt Zane and Russia.

“If you caught fish every time you put bait in the water they would call it catching”
But not to worry, these guys will put you on the fish
