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.

3hr shark trips

Jul 23, 2025 Stock Island

Last week, I ran at least 8 or more 3hr inshore shark trips. The shark fishing has been unbelievable. Every trip we caught and released sharks up to 200+lbs.

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!!

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!!

Daniel works hard to put you on fish! We have been successful each trip we’ve taken with him. He knows the water and knows where the fish roam. You can’t go wrong booking a trip with him!

Within 5 min of dropping a line, we had a nice big shark on. Spent 45 minutes getting it along side. After the next hour and 15-20 min, we we’re reeling in shark number 5. Great trip.

We had a great trip. Caught a lot of fish right from the start of the day. Very knowledgeable Capt. The only thing that wasn’t top notch is we should’ve booked a longer trip
