Captain
Ron Varona

Member since March 2015 Tavernier, United States
Background
Born and raised in South Florida, the fishing bug struck Capt. Ron at a very early age. His family spent summers and weekends fishing and boating in the upper Keys and that’s where his obsession grew. While in college he began mating on private and local charter boats in the Miami area. His travels took him to the Bahamas, Hawaii, and Costa Rica. After achieving his goal of a career in the fire service, he still craved to be on the water as much as he could. In 2003 he started Green Eyed Girl Charters, and began a journey of making life long friends and memories in the Florida Keys.
Techniques
Aboard the Green Eyed Girl, your day usually starts off catching live bait then heading out to reef, local wrecks, or off shore. Using top of the line Daiwa reels and custom rods, you’ll use a variety of techniques to target different species of fish that swim in our waters throughout our different seasons.
