    TOUGH DAY IN THE WIND OVERCOME BY CREW EXPERTISE

    8 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Captain Nagel and his deckhand Travis got us into fish when several other boats returned to port when their clients became seas sick. We had a great yellow tail morning, and a tougher afternoon dealing with 4-5 foot seas and alot of surface grass impeding our live bait trolling. We moved alot and found place to catch tuna, mangrove snapper (which we returned to the ocean) and a small tuna and an enourmous King Mackerel...Watching a highly professional work was a joy. Highly recommend this Captain (Tony Nagel and the Single Reels II crew, Travis. They taught us all how to effectively fish in a washing machine and they continually changed tactics to make sure we had a terrific time...Great boat, great people and a really great time.

    Amazing day fishing !

    8 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    Capt Tony & Travis were awesome! Tony got us out on the water before most had loaded their boats and got us right on fish (Yellow Tail Snapper). We landed 36 and could have limited out, had it not been for a nuisance shark and barracuda. Travis was patient and a great teacher since we have never went out for Yellow tail. This trip was with my father (for his 80th b-day) and my 2 brothers in law. My entire family enjoyed an amazing meal after the trip of the freshest YT in town! Thank you, Tony, Janice and Travis!

    Our best fishing haul yet!

    8 Hour Trip • 4 adults

    Captain Tony, Travis and Alicia were the best crew we’ve had thus far - out of all of our deep sea trips! we maxed out on Mahi (first time ever) and had so much fun catching them! Travis and Alicia kept our rods baited and fish on, to the point that our arms were tired from reeling! Captain Tony and Travis were both very knowledgeable and explained everything along the way. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

    best off shore fishing Trip Ever

    6 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    we had an amazing time they had us out and to the first spot quick we were on fish as soon as they tossed out the lures. hooked up to blackfin tuna pretty much immediately. second spot we cause so many Mahi Mahi. The Captain and his crew were amazing. They worked so hard during the entire trip and helped educate us and showed us new techniques to fishing, and they were super helpful and all knowledgeable. Best fishing Charter in Islmorada!!

    Best Charter in the Area Hands Down!!

    6 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Captain Tony and first mate Travis were outstanding. We hooked into yellowtail on the reef and, even though it was a tough day overall with very slow trolling and bottom fishing for all the charters on the water, they worked nonstop to put us on fish. They were hands-down the best crew out there—super friendly, patient, and genuinely fun to be around. Travis was great about explaining what was going on and making sure everything was easy and relaxed, while Captain Tony clearly knew the water and kept adjusting the plan to give us the best possible shot. Even on a quiet day, they made the trip enjoyable, professional, and memorable. Highly recommend booking with them—we’ll definitely be back.

Cross this Tarpon off bucket list

Jul 23, 2019 • Islamorada
Take this Tarpon off your bucket list. This Tarpon was a fish of a liftime that people dream about bringing to the boat. This Jr. Angler did just that along with some nice large sharks.

Fun day on the reef

Jul 11, 2019 • Islamorada
We certainly had a fun on the Reef today catching loads of Yellowtail until the thunder storms came. This family didn’t want anything to do with that So we decided to come in a little early. They where still so happy with their day. Thank you for booking your charter with us. We appreciate your business.
