What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Tavernier, Florida for the first time?

yes captain Ron worked hard catching live bait and was on top of things at all times

Trout was plentiful. Did not go for any other species. I recommend being very specific with the captain on your expectations.

If fishing in the summer months it is best to book a 4-6 hour morning or evening trip. An 8-hour trip in the heat of summer is too long and mid-day fishing is too hot.

Do your research on what you fish for .... We were first timers and trying to catch a Tarpon was way out of our reach

Bring ur backbone if ur fishing for Permit! Pound for pound strongest fish I have ever faught

Use a charter like Ron Howell because he gives you fishing information rather than bs!
