I took my wife and 2 kids (11&14) on their first charter fishing trip. Captain and Mate were great, patient and eager to teach. We caught over 20 fish and they cleaned them and told us exactly where to go to have them cooked up for lunch and it was one of the best meals we have ever had. Would recommend for experienced and novice, but novice should be ready to fish. Will book them again next year!  KMM

Capitan Jack and Dalton were great! Such a amazing first time experience. They were helpful, exteremly knowlagable, and with 40plus years of experience it was great to be able to show up and have everything taken care of and just fish. Great instruction, patience and the boat was more than large enough for us. Highly recommend!! Will be returning inthe near future.

Capt. Jack knows his stuff! Got us on the tuna spot early and we filled the boat with some amazing Mahi. Even our 6 yr old daughter got in the action and caught a few of her own Mahi! Shake n Bait got it done, couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water out of beautiful Islamorada.

Had an amazing day with Shake N Bait Charters in Islamorada—caught a ton of mahi and the action was nonstop! The crew was experienced, friendly, and made the trip fun and easy for everyone. Highly recommend if you’re looking to get on the fish and have a great time doing it!

My family enjoyed our half day charter with Captain Jack and First Mate Dalton. We had asked to try to catch tuna and mahi (since we’d already caught snapper earlier in the week), and we did exactly that! Would definitely recommend this charter.
