Last minute weekend trip to the Keys with my family. My 15yo son has dreamt of trying his hand at sight casting on the flats and back country out of Islamorada. We reviewed several captains and selected Capt. Larry based on his profile. Full day trip - almost all flyfishing. We ran out, hit a flat with some sharks and a few boils of bait…saw a snook and some mud boils…then settled in blind casting an edge along the mangroves for snook. Caught a couple…picked up to hunt the flats and had shots at several redfish. Hit a couple of “tarpon holds” along the mangroves…..sight casted the flats…more redfish and a great opportunity at a big tarpon! The caster (me, this time) lost all composure and did everything wrong….but was able to put a cast in front of the fish (mainly due to great poling work by Capt) and either hit him with the fly or he made an aggressive turn at the fly…it was exhilarating! Capt. Larry was a man of few words, tried to find opportunities to sight cast and also to catch fish where he knew they would be, kept us safe in a comfortable skiff, and gave us the opportunity and trip we were looking for - to see fish and try to catch them on a fly rod! It was a successful day! Communications with his wife, punctuality, etc were all excellent! If I could go again right now…i would!

Great day on the water, it was such a pleasure having Buddy and son Luke on the bow, great effort all day and both good fly casters, and Luke did a VERY good job with the fly. - Capt. Larry
Had a great trip with Captain Larry last week. We both nailed a backcountry slam with several nice snook, redfish and a couple tarpon. Rounded our catch with a few speckled trout for the dinner table.
Captain Larry was certainly on top of his game and challenged us throughout the trip which improved our results. He handles that push pole masterfully.
Sharon (MrsCaptLarry) did a good job coordinating the preliminary trip details.
All in all a real good experience. Would highly recommend Capt Larry if you’re serious about your backcountry fishing.

Great guys got the job done and a great day on the water. Enjoyed guiding them - Capt. Larry.
My wife and I were looking for a half day charter during our trip to the keys. Capt Larry was welcoming and accommodating - great communication and timely. We had a great time chasing down a barracuda during the first half of our charter, and eventually landed three bone fish. Truly a memorable day for my wife and me - and I would highly recommend. Thank you Captain Larry!
It was very enjoyable guiding Patrick and wife Savannah, and after fighting that barracuda, the bonefish were a welcome challenge that they successfully mastered and held for the trophy photo.
We just finished our 3rd straight day with Capt Larry and in spite of a Super Moon, he put us on Bonefish and Permit as well as other smaller fish!! We could not have ask for a Better, More Informative Patient Well know knowing Guide to fish with!!!! This was our First trip in the keys and there will definitely be more with Captain Larry!!!! Thanks A Million Capt!!!!!
It was a great 3 days with Bill and his Brother Ben. A good time was had by all catching trophy fish: permit (Bill) and bonefish (Ben.) Looking forward to guiding them again, spring next year.
Captain Larry is all in. Excellent skills. Good coach knows his stuff and has great equipment. I’ve fished with over 40 professional captains from the Gulf of Mexico the Pacific Ocean the Hawaiian islands to Cabo San Lucas the Bahamas and many stops on the Atlantic seaboard. And captain Larry is in the top ten for sure.
Richard was rewarding to have with me for an adventure to the backcountry today to see what we could get on fly, and he didn’t disappoint bringing in nice reds, as pictured here.
