Captain Mike Patterson started fishing at the tender age of 4 years old in a stream behind his house in Maryland and he continued to fish the state's diverse fishery as he was growing up. Although Captain Mike started his career as an electrician, he suffered an extremely serious accident at 26, when he broke his neck. Deciding from this point on to live his life to the fullest, he became a dive instructor and moved to Islamorada, where he ran a dive shop and led offshore fishing charters. Having enjoyed a successful career offshore, he decided to become a full-time backcountry fishing guide, entering and winning multiple backcountry tournaments. He's now been a fishing guide for over 30 years and, having fully recovered from his near-death accident, is determined to continue living his life to the fullest and to be thankful for every day he has on this earth. Captain Mike fishes with captains Chris and Phil. They are also amazing captains and will make your day on the water perfect.

Joseph CorcoranRepeat angler5.0VerifiedFantastic day on the water
Half Day Trip – Tarpon (Night) • 3 adultsMy sons and I went on full day with Capt. Jon From start to finish a true professional. Fully prepared when we arrived, on the water early, very knowledgeable of the waters and where to go. Our request 1st half was catching specific species for dinner 2nd half for shark. We caught plenty of both and returned tired but a great day. Will be back to fish again with Capt. Jon
Anastasia Semienko5.0VerifiedWonderful backcountry fishing experience
Half Day Trip • 3 adults • 1 childOur family of three had a great time fishing with Captain Chris. He was a great guide to the area pointing out lots of wildlife and helping us learn the ropes of fishing in this area. We caught trout, mangrove snapper, and a small snook. The keepers were delicious!

What's biting with Fintastic Fishing Charters – 19' in Islamorada
Flats fishing gets better and better in October, while Wahoo and Blackfin Tuna, bite well offshore. As the waters cool, reef fishing also picks up, with lots of delicious Grouper and Snapper.
