Captain
Bob Beighley

Member since April 2017 Summerland Key, United States
Background
I have been fishing my whole life and consider myself a very well rounded fisherman. I got my start with the traditional Zebco 202, fishing for Bluegill and Largemouth Bass with my father. It wasn't long before I bought my first boat and started fishing for Rockfish on the Chesapeake Bay. I then moved to Ocean City, Maryland where I became a successful offshore mate earning my master captain’s license fishing primarily for Marlin, Tuna, and Shark. After visiting the Keys on vacation I knew this was where I wanted to live. In 2000 I took the leap and moved to Cudjoe Key and haven't looked back since. I have been a full-time guide in the Florida Keys ever since. I have a knack for understanding what the customer wants, from bending the rod on a family fishing trip to taking more serious anglers out on spin and fly. My goal is to make you feel like you're fishing with an old fishin’ buddy. I am very patient with children and novice anglers as well as the experienced pro.

Light tackle and fly
