We went fishing the last week of February, soon after a cold front had come through and cooled the water enough to make the fish lethargic and scattered. But Captain Damian took us to a spot where he knew fish would be, and the first cast it was “fish on “. We caught mangroves snapper and Jack during the afternoon. At the end of the day, I unexpectedly tied into a large black tip shark that was estimated to be between 6 and 7 feet long and weighing over 100 pounds. It took about half an hour to get it to the boat, extending our time on the water. On Damian’s recommendation, we took fileted snapper to a local restaurant for a great meal to end the day. If you are looking for a great fishing trip with a captain who knows his stuff, look no further. Next time we are in the Keys I will be fishing with Damian Estrada.

Damian took us out for 2 day trips. We reef fished both days and he put us on fish both days. He is pleasant, organized, and knowledgeable. If we didnt get bites on a site within a few minutes,  he moved us to try another. We caught 7 or 8 species in all. If someone broke a line, he was right there to hand a fresh rod to keep us fishing constantly. He had our catch fileted upon return. His equipment was top notch. I would give him 6 stars if I could. I’ll be back for another trip soon.

We had a phenomenal fishing experience with Captain Damian.  The weather was perfect, for being in the middle of winter.  The fishing was exciting and fun and our captain was amazing! Captain Damian did a fantastic job putting us on fish right away.  It was our first saltwater experience for my son, my brother-in-law and I to fish from a boat in the keys.  Captain D took us to many great spots throughout our journey in the Everglades and every spot produced fish. We saw many species of fish including tarpon, snooks and sharks but only managed to catch snappers, jacks and baracudas, which were exciting enough for us. We also saw a manatee cow and her calf and a dolphin. Towards the end of our trip, Captain D put us on a school of giant jacks that were feeding viciously in the shallows. Knowing that we were already running out of our allotted time frame, he asked if I had anywhere to be that afternoon. Of course I said, “No”.  I wanted to keep on fishing. We all did! Captain D spent almost 2 extra hours beyond our alotted time frame chasing that school of giant jacks all over the flats. It was one of the most exciting fishing experiences I have ever had in my entire life and I fish a lot.  Every time he maneuvered the boat to within casting distance of the school, our eyes lit up and fingers would shake with excitement. We caught as many as we could and doubled up a couple of times on those giants jacks. We tried tripling up but there was always one that got away.  It was so much fun for the three of us. We had such a blast! Captain Damian created memories that will never be forgotten.  I highly recommend Captain Damian and his charter for his professionalism, his experience as a fisherman and his kind and friendly demeanor.  We can’t wait to go fishing with him again.  The free merch at the end was the icing on the cake!

We had the pleasure of going out with Captain Damian, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire trip. From the moment we stepped on board, we were impressed by how clean, well-maintained, and organized the boat was. You can tell Damian takes pride in his work — everything was in top shape and ready to go.
Damian himself is an incredible captain — super friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about fishing. He was always checking in to ensure we were having the best time possible.
Now let’s talk about the fishing… WOW! We had an amazing day on the water with a great catch to show for it. Damian knew exactly where to go and how to put us right on the fish. We reeled in more than we expected and had an absolute blast doing it.
If you’re thinking about booking a fishing charter, do not hesitate to go with Captain Damian. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or brand new to fishing, you’ll have an awesome experience. We can’t recommend him and his charter enough — we’re already looking forward to the next trip!
10/10 experience!

We had a great time with Captain Damian! Wind wouldn’t allow us out on the ocean, but Damian worked hard to find spots for us. The four of us caught fish almost the entire 4 hours. He’s a great young man with lots of knowledge and personality. 10/10 good time.
