Had a great time with Captain Dylan. He had a lot of patience with my son who can be a handful sometimes. It was a windy day, but we caught a lot of fish in spite of the tough conditions. Many species of snapper, a few grouper, and even a green moray eel which was fun and exciting to see. Thank you for the recommendation to Loreleiโs. They prepared the fish for us and it didnโt break the bank. Hope to come back and fish with him again.
This trip far exeeded my expectations. Captain Dylan took us out about 5 minutes from the dock. Chummed the water and had us on a 100 pound tarpon in 5 minutes. Unfortunately it spit the hook. Then 10 minutes later we hooked a 125 pound 6 foot monster that my dad fought for 1.5 hours. Captain Dylan did some amazing boat maneuvers to keep the giant tarpon off the shoreline and from running to the boat docks. We ended up hooking three sharks after the giant tarpon which unfortunately chewed threw the line. This was a fishing trip of a lifetime. Highly recommend Blackwater Charters!

Booked a half day backcountry outing with Capt Eric for my wife and I as part of our 25th anniversary celebratory trip to the Keys (yes Iโm a fortunate man!) Promised my wife a fun day on the water with some fishing thrown in. :) Had hoped to perhaps try my hand at some Tarpon on the fly but a cold front and steady north winds diverted us to a trout hunt instead. Eric delivered putting us on a mess of trout, lady fish and assorted others.ย Ended up with just two legal for the creel but had a great time and learned a ton about the area and the local fishing scene. Also enjoyed the ride out to the marine sanctuary. Was made all the better by the Captainโs friendly nature and good conversation. So much so that I look forward to my next outing with him and can recommend to others without hesitation. Next time hereโs hoping I can start my schooling in the saltwater side of fly fishing as well. Tight lines all!
