Member since November 2022 Stock Island, United States

Background: I grew up fishing the Florida keys for over 40 years. Fishing is second nature to me. What I enjoy most is watching people catch big trophy fish. I love fishing so much I even go on my days off.
Techniques: Definitely my favorite type of fishing is going for big sharks. Its a guarantee!! Drop anchor put out 4 or 5 big baits out and wait for the drag to start screaming. Also in the summer time I enjoy snorkeling the reefs spearfishing hog fish, grouper, snapper and looking for lobster. Tarpon fishing right at dark is also super fun with live bait.

Big sharks every day

Jul 19, 2025 Stock Island

The 3-hour shark trips have been very productive! Every trip, we are releasing 4 to 8 sharks per trip. It's been non-stop action. If you want to catch a trophy shark, book a trip. I guarantee you will catch!!

Today I ran two 3hr shark trips. We released 9 sharks in total up to 250lbs.

Shark fishing red hot !!

Jul 11, 2025 Stock Island

Summertime shark fishing is the best. We caught 6 sharks this morning on a 3hr trip and 1 Goliath grouper. Yesterday we released at least 12. Mostly all lemon and black tips.

Hammerhead shark

Jul 2, 2025 Stock Island

The shark fishing has been on fire the last few trips. Big lemon sharks, black tips, bulls and this 10ft Hammerhead we released just yesterday. A few big tarpon and Goliath grouper in the mix as well. Time to book a trip. Let's go fishing!!

6hr Goliath grouper and shark trip

My wife & I had never been salt water fishing. Capt Dan put us on the sharks & we hooked a 7’ Lemon shark within 20 min of casting our first lines. We got 2 more lemons & a sand shark over the next few hours. We definitely recommend Key West Fishing Connection!
