    Great Experience

    4 Hr – Fishing Adventure • 3 adults

    Danny provded a great experience for myself, my wife and my son. He was a good communicator leading up to the trip and worked hard to find a convenient spot to meet for boat launch. During the fish, we went to several spots and found success. In times of slower fishing, Danny immediately began planning our next spot. He was patient with my son and optimistic throughout our time. On our way back to shore, we encountered rough waters, whcih Danny navigated and took extra time to find alternative routed and make sure we were comfortable. if you’re looking for a skilled captain who understans good hospitality, Danny is your guy.

    20 knot winds always make it a challenge to get to the good fising areas. Thank you for the review. You guys were great.

    Great trip!

    6 Hr – Fishing Adventure • 5 adults • 2 children

    Capt. Daniel was awesome. He bounced around all day to make sure we had a bite. there was never a dull moment all day. it was tough to get through the short fish but he made sure to get us home with an abundance of fish. We really appreciated the fact that he allowed us to fish and not just reel in the fish. 5 stars all day. great guy! We have two young children, Capt. Daniel was awesome with them.

    Amazing Fishing Experience

    4 Hr – Fishing Adventure • 4 adults

    Daniel was a fantastic captain, incredibly knowledgeable and knew of different spots to take us. It was me, my boyfriend, dad and grandmother. We all caught fish (except grandma, she was just along for the ride) and all had an amazing time. He filleted the fish for us so we could take them back for dinner. I would highly recommend booking with Daniel!

    My father and I recently had the pleasure of going on a private fishing charter with Captain Daniel Carbajales and it was nothing short of spectacular! Right from the start, as we headed to the patch reefs off Key Largo, you could really feel the excitement. The trip was perfectly orchestrated. We started by catching live bait, followed by using chum to really get the fish biting. It was an exhilarating experience as we had a fish on the line every minute, and not just any fish – we were pulling in keeper after keeper! The variety of species we caught was impressive: Yellowtail Snapper, Lane Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Red Grouper, and even a Mackerel. The highlight, though, was landing a monster-sized Barracuda, an absolute thrill! Captain Daniel's expertise shone through as he taught us numerous fishing techniques, enhancing our experience and skill. It wasn't just about the fishing; the wildlife encounters added to the magic of the day. Spotting a huge sea turtle and a dolphin in their natural habitat was a serene and unforgettable moment. The trip culminated in us leaving with a cooler full of keepers, a testament to the day's success. I couldn't have asked for a better fishing experience. Captain Daniel Carbajales is a true professional and a master at his craft. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a beginner, I highly recommend booking a trip with him for an incredible fishing adventure. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

What's biting with Spazzin Out Fishing Charters in Key Largo

Cold fronts start to arrive, which can mix up the fishing. Flats and backcountry are always a good choice, with Snook, Redfish, and Speckled Trout biting well. Otherwise, choose a calm day to get out onto the reefs or offshore.
