Although new into the guiding/chartering business, i have been in the fishing/marine industry for over 6 years. I am the owner of JD Outdoor Adventures Bait&Tackle in Miami Fl, Key Largo Fl, and JD's Marina Key Largo.
I have been fishing since i could stand up on my own being raised in the upper keys, driving boats since i was about 8 years and operating my own personal vessels since i was 16. I have well over a few thousand hours on the water.
I spend alot of time in the Backwaters of the Upper Keys or heading west into Everglades National Park (Flamingo). Chasing Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Trout, Jacks, Snapper and Grouper.
Just around the corner we have plenty of Patch Reef fishing if deep sea isnt your vibe. We can fish shallow reefs in less then 30ft of water and catch plenty of different of species and great eating fish as well.
if the deep blue is your vibe! we can definitely do that as well!

Troy PeckRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNEWCapt. Damien is the Best!!
6 Hour Shallow Reefs (10-50ft) • 4 adults • 2 childrenTook my 2 boys on a 1/2 day excursion for their b-days... and let me tell you, Capt. Damien made it well worthwhile! Originally we were hoping for a reef outing but weather (heavy wind) had other plans. Instead, we went backwater--and still came home with a cooler full of dinner and plenty of stories. We caught snapper, jack, sea trout, barracuda and tarpon (not quite landed, but still fun) and saw so much more, including sharks, dolphins, manatees and even a crocodile. Capt. Damien was awesome with the kids and answered everyone of their 1000 questions as well as teaching valuable lessons along the way. We couldn't be happier and plan on using Capt. Damien as often as possible in the future! Highly recommended!

4 Hour Shallow Reefs (10-50ft) • 4 adults**Great Private Fishing Charter! 🎣** We had a fantastic time fishing with Captain Damian in Key Largo! We’ve been on several party fishing boats before where we did a lot of fishing but not much catching. This trip was completely different! Damian knew all the right spots, kept our hooks baited, and kept us catching fish throughout the trip. We had a big one get away when a barracuda snatched half of it off the line—but that just made for a great fishing story! The boat was nice, and the location at JD Outdoor Adventures was great. At the end, Damian filleted our catch right at the dock, and we got to watch nurse sharks come in for the scraps. The highlight was Damian helping our son reel in a **tarpon**! Such a memorable experience for our family. We highly recommend Captain Damian and would definitely fish with him again!

Sammy Campbell5.0VerifiedBest Trip and Best Captain
2 Hour Nearshore Mangroves AM Trip. • 4 adults • 1 childDamian was first class in every aspect. His boat was new and in great condition, he was welcoming and friendly, and he provided exceptional service throughout the entire trip. We did the 4-hour trip out to the reef beds and he had us on fish almost the entire time. I have three boys (ages 19-10) and they all three had a blast, saying, “it was the best trip ever.”. We caught snapper, hogfish, porgies, and jacks. My youngest son even hooked a mackerel and fought it for a few minutes before it cut the line. We had barracuda on the hook on two separate occasions so there was plenty of activity for the entire trip. We will definitely come fishing here again, but I will never use another captain other than Damian. I have neen on chartered trips before, and “Catching in the Keys” is on a different level of service. Do yourself a favor and book with them.

Chad Hammond5.0VerifiedAmazing - life long memories made!
4 Hour Shallow Reefs (10-50ft) • 4 adultsMy friend and our two 13 year old sons booked a 4 hour trip with Captain Damian at “Catchin In The Keys”. It was a great day. Captian Damian served us magnificently from the beggining of our trip until the end. We brought home 23 fish and threw back about 15. Capt Damian kept each line baited and in the water as much as possible. He also interacted intentionally with our sons - which was very important. When I asked my son- “How did you like the trip?” He responded - “I loved it - I really liked the Captain!” Exceeeded all expectations - recommend highly!! .

3 Hour Scenic Fishing Tour. AM Trip • 4 adultsCaptain Damian is The Man!!! My goodness he had us on the bite, helped us all so much keeping the rods baited, if we didnt haul in a fish we hauled in an empty hook!!! We had three very novice fisherman in our group and they were not novice for long. We caught red snapper, yellow fin snapper, mutton snapper, hog fish, progie and some nice sized jacks. We also lost 4 or so to the hungy barracuda…oceans alive!!!If you are thinking about a fishing trip in Key Largo think no longer and book with Captain Damian!!!

What's biting with Catchin In The Keys Charters in Key Largo
The temperatures begin to cool. This is one of the quietest months in Key Largo. But be careful – a lot of captains and guides choose this month to go on vacation so don't leave it too late to plan your charter trip.
