3 hour shark fishing with Captain Chase

VERIFIED

My husband, my dad, and I booked a 3 hour shark fishing trip with Captain Chase on the last day of our vacation. We were all new to salt water fishing so we didn’t really have too many expectations going into this trip, however, Chase by far and away exceeded any expectation we did have! He was very knowledgeable and had a great laid back “Florida keys” attitude which made for a really fun afternoon. Chase’s main focus the entire time was making sure we were enjoying ourselves and got... More

We had an amazing first Florida Keys fishing experience with Captain Sal experiencing both reef and back country at its best. Sal is a great teacher for those who want to learn and has endless patience. We learnt lots of new techniques and tips. The 24’ boat is fast and rides the open ocean very dry and comfortably. We fished in several different areas and it only took a few minutes to travel between them. Fish of the day was a monster muttton snapper (30 inches long !!), caught by Tyler on... More

We had a GREAT time fishing with Captain Sal. If you are looking to book a fun fishing trip look no further. We ended up catching about 12 different species of fish. 3 Sharks, 2 Tarpon, Snapper, yellowtail, Hogfish (dorkfish ;) ) Porgi, pufferfish, and more. Our 3/4 day fishing trip was full of fun. We took our catch of the day to Lazy Days and they “killed” it. It was delish. As a NON fish eater I loved it. Salt water fishing is a whole different type of fishing than lake or river fishing....
