    Nicks birthday trip

    3/4 Day Trip3 adults1 child

    Captain Juan did it again. Made my son put down the iPhone for at least half the day. My son caught 5 sharks which was the highlight of his trip and me and my bride caught enough snapper and trout to feed us for an entire weekend. If your looking for a consummate professional, with a keen attention to detail and one who knows how to make kids happy (catching Sharks or whatever they fancy) than Captain Juan is your guy. Thank you again captain and looking forward to the tarpon trip in April!!! Ryan, Ashley and Nick

What's biting with Beats Land Charters in Islamorada

The fall is the best time of year to fish the flats in Islamorada, and you'll see this in September. With fewer crowds, lots of Bonefish and Permit on the flats, and Snook in the mangroves, you're in for a treat.
