My wife and I really enjoyed our morning with Captain Mike!  I’m fairly new to fly fishing freshwater only.  Mike was patient and took the time to brief us and do some “warm ups” as we headed out on the flats.  Captain Mike has a ton of experience and stories to share, in addition to all kinds of nuggets to improve my own fishing game.  All in all it was a wonderful day on the water, and we sure hope we have the chance to do it again soon.  Thanks again Captain Mike!

While we caught many of the species on the flats, Captain Mike had an entertaining way to share his experiences with fishing in the Keys and British Columbia as well as the art of flats fishing.

A must do if you you like the smell of the salt air!  We look forward to our next time with Captain Mike!

Mike is the most experienced guide in Key West with over 40 years of experience; this guy knows his stuff.  Many guides stake out in approximate areas where they believe the tarpon will pass and they do this with varrying success.  Mike, however, thinks like a fish and figures out quickly by observing the tides and the structure of the bottom how, where and why the tarpon will pass.  Consequently, we had success in jumping a large tarpon and even caught an aggressive bonefish after casting to 3 tarpon moving out of a channel.  Mike’s boat is clean and is of a good enough size to keep fishers stable on board when staked out.  He has a lifetime of experience and a million great stories.  When looking for a Key West guide, always start here.

I’ve been a life-long fisherman but never had the chance to go flats fishing and catch a bonefish until I hooked up with Captain Mike recently. The weather was a bit off, as the wind was blowing pretty good, but Mike’s skiff is awesome and we were able to hook a couple of nice fish including my first bonefish. I’ll always remember it!
