Huge Sheepshead!

July 21, 2024

Fantastic day out on the water in beautiful Islamorada. Reeled in over 10 different species in an action packed day with a very happy client reeling in this huge Sheepshead. Come on down and get in on the fun and nonstop action. Call Captain Jon today and book some unforgettable memories of your own.

Catch and cook!!

July 19, 2024

Speckled trout and mangrove snapper have been easy to find! Plenty of action and good fun. Half days are enough to catch snapper , while the speckled trout will need a 3/4 day to get back to the good spots. Cap off your trip with a visit to one of many restaurants in town to have them cook up your catch!!

Monster Barracuda

July 14, 2024

Barracuda fishing has been really hot out here in the past week. Lots of happy customers battling these monsters and going home with some great vacation fish stories for their family & friends. Come on down and let Captain Jon put you on some of these hard fighting giants for yourself.

Summer fishing fun.

July 13, 2024

Summer fishing as been great! This is a good time to target all species with shots a slams most days. Nice numbers of bonefish permit and juvenile tarpon around town. Redfish snook and trout has been outstanding in the back water. 6 hour and full days are required to fish for redfish and gives us most options to get a slam.

Summer time permit!

July 12, 2024

Fun day today i had a half day trip. We fished locally around Islamorada. Early on things were a little slow but we kept with it. Found some good permit around one of the bridges later in the day and that made the trip! We also had good action with jacks and some other odds and ends. July still offers some good opportunities at fish and its not nearly as busy as the spring. Ive got days available and evening tarpon fishing is still a great option.

Nice Trout action in Flamingo

July 9, 2024

We've been on some healthy Speckled Trout on live Shrimp and Gulp out toward Flamingo. Snook bite continues to be good on Shrimp patterns and tails

What anglers said about fishing in Islamorada

I was told we got on the black tuna better than other trips lately so we were happy. Unable to locate any Mahi and will book in May or June as they migrate and aren’t many left down here right now. Near the tail end of the season for mahi. But the tuna was just down right fun.

We were well prepared by bringing a cooler with plenty of variety of snacks, we had perfect weather. Although hot, but that's what you expect at the end of July. My wife and Son took one dose of motion sickness med and were fine, just to ensure they would be fine. They were too busy catching fish to experience anything but adrenaline.

Be prepared for rolling waves and water. It can be choppy at times and it’s a long ride out for offshore to catch mahi

First Choice Charters

Only thing to keep in mind is that it is *hot* and boats have limited shade. Sunscreen, water, hats, sunglasses are a must.

For those fishing in Islamorada for the first time, I'd say you’re in for a treat. Known as the fishing capital of the world, the area is teeming with fish. It's a good idea to hire a local expert. I highly recommend Capt Jason Katsikas who can show you the best fishing spots and share some expert tips. Enjoy your fishing adventure!

Definitely worth it, and the water extremely calm for anyone who is not a fan on being on a boat.

Off The Hook – Islamorada

Always awesome but weather plays a part. Be ready to change it up and go after different species. Can’t be butthurt if you don’t catch exactly what you’re thinking you want to catch. Just have fun and remember it’s fishing not catching…if these guys jobs were easy we would do it ourselves.

Very hot but enjoyable. Excellent variety of fish to be caught and not too crowded at sea with too many boats.

The weather was the biggest deterrent factor in making this a great fishing trip. We had a great outcome in spite of the inclement weather conditions thanks to the skills and abilities of Captain Tony and his crew. The Singing Reel vessel was ideal to keep us dry and comfortable with its spacious and air conditioning cabin.

My recommendations for someone being a first time fisherman to Islamorada remember, you are in one of the best bodies of water for fishing. Your captain has been on that water way more than most, and he will do his best to put you on Fish the equipment that we used and the knowledge that we had with us in the boat on our captain he did a great job putting us on Fish

Snap Em Up Fishing

Book early because May is a great month to fish in FL. Also, early morning trips are cooler in May. Wear hats, sunscreen, wear long sleeve SPF shirts. And remember, you don’t always catch fish, or as many fish, or as big a fish as you’d like. The ocean is a big place and fishing is unpredictable. Most fishing guides will work very hard to put you on fish - that’s how they make their living.

Two Trolls Sport Fishing

If you have the chance definitely book with singing reel charters! They were very hospitable and had plenty of water and other hydration options. Tony and Travis blended well with our group and they are the most down to earth guys you can ask for who work hard to make sure everyone has a great experience.

Listen to your Capt recommendation. I said the trip was appropriate for children because the Capt was excellent. The weather and sea this day would not have been.
