    BEST DAY EVER!

    3/4 Day Trip5 adults

    Everything about this trip far exceeded expectations for all of us. Captain Jack and 1st mate Dalton we're awesome and we loved the accomodations on the boat!! The morning started out a little slow but they were determined to get us on the fish and boy they did. We ended up hitting it big time and catching 20+ Mahi. The experience was one in a life time and we all left saying, we will definitely be back! Thank you Captain Jack and Dalton for such a memorable day. We will see you soon!

    Reported catch:
    Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

    Great Experience

    Full Day Trip2 adults

    Captain Jack and Dalton were great. They were extremely professional, knowledgeable, personal, friendly, and welcoming. We caught a bunch of mahi; even though they werent biting as expected - and then got to fish off the bottom and caught some amberjacks; which I had never done before. We had alot of fun and would highly recommend this charter.

    Not a great day of fishing, but....

    Full Day Trip4 adults

    Weather, seagull intrusions, wind and waves and only one king mackerel boated -- but that's fishing. Captain suggested that we may want to change to a half day because of conditions. We agreed to this and got reimbursed by Fishing Booker for the half day from the full day. So all good! Mate Dalton worked his ass off in tough conditions and Captain Jack was great as well. Happy to recommend Shake 'n Bait for your next charter.

    Reported catch:
    King Mackerel (Kingfish)

    Great Day on the Water

    Half Day Trip (PM)4 adults1 child

    Captain Jack and Dalton showed our family an amazing day. The boat is fast, modern, and EXTREMELY comfortable. The captain and crew were great to talk to and put us on the fish. Highly recommend and very family-friendly. We would definitely book again.

What's biting with Shake N Bait Charters in Islamorada

The fall is the best time of year to fish the flats in Islamorada, and you'll see this in September. With fewer crowds, lots of Bonefish and Permit on the flats, and Snook in the mangroves, you're in for a treat.
