Captain Larry made the day easy for me.Great time and good call to change my fishing day to avoid some weather.
Great day with John.
I went flats fly fishing with Captain Larry on Nov 3. He is a very pleasant guide with very top of the line skiff and equipment (perhaps why he is on the expensive side compared to others). I wish I could give a better report as not only did we not catch any fish, we didn’t see one fish or even cast one time. Of course “That is why they call it fishing and not catching” but still was a disappointing day. He did give me a quick casting lesson which was helpful.
So glad to see Dave had a realistic attitude about fishing and not catching, because it is so disappointing when the fish cannot be found or do not cooperate. Dave was very nice to have on my boat, and all I can say to anglers is a half day goes by so fast, and this time of year it’s just not enough, because I would like to travel out over into the Everlades further to find fish and a 4-hour half day just doesn’t allow it. I have since this trip and a few others that were similar discontinued offering half days this time of year because I want WIN-WIN situations rather than dissapointing both me and the angler(s).

Captain Larry got us on the flats right away, and I got to check a bonefish off of my list, which has been a goal of mine for some time. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. If we ever come back down to the keys again, I will be sure to book another trip with him.
Had a great time guiding Kerry and his lovely wife while he was working on his bucket list. He actually caught 3 bonefish, a trophy sport fish, quite an achievement!
During the second half of the trip, Captain Larry found multiple opportunities for me to cast to Tarpon. My casting skills prevented me from presenting the fly into the right spot, but the thrill and anticipation of those opportunities will keep me coming back. The first thing I’m going to do when I get home is practice casting!
Jeff gave it his best effort and certainly had the right spirit and we did talk about his practicing his casting so nice to read he will be carrying that out as I hope he’ll book me in the future so we can definitely get him a hook up. Looking forward to is. - Capt. Larry
Capt Larry is a pro all the way around. He worked his tail off to put my wife and I in multiple spots for the best opportunity to catch fish. Along the way we got to see some iconic spots and the memories will last a lifetime.
So very thankful for the review as we all did work hard getting barracuda and shark bites, but just could not get the bonefish or tarpon to cooperate. Great couple of sports to have on the boat. that enjoyed all the spectacular wonders of fishing off the Florida Keys. Made for a very nice time on the water. - Capt. Larry.
