My daughter and I fished the half day (AM trip) with Captain Buddy on Oct 20 and had a great and productive time fishing. Captain Buddy is very friendly, knowledgeable and likes to pass on his experience and tricks to catch the various types of fish. We started off catching snapper that we took some to a local restaurant to cook for dinner and froze the rest. We also caught some houndfish. We moved on to catching some baracuda and my daughter caught a lemon shark about 80 lbs that was exciting to watch her reel in. Lastly, we moved on to try for tarpon. We hooked a couple of sizable tarpon around 15 lbs that snapped the lines after breaching surface but all-in -all it was a fun time fishing with Captain Buddy. I definitely recommend booking a charter with Captain Buddy.

Thank you for your kind review Tim. It was fun making memories with the two of you that day. I hope we can get together again on your next visit to the Keys. Capt Buddy
Nothing short of an amazing experience. Captain Buddy did a great job putting my wife and I on snapper which made for a tasty โhook and cookโ. However, the tarpon fishing will live in my memories forever. If you want to have an enjoyable trip that goes beyond just wetting a line and includes great conversion, learnings,and genuine pride in making your trip memorable.
This was our third trip with Buddy, and he continues to impress us every time. Heโs incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and makes the entire experience fun while teaching you something new along the way. Right from our first stop, we started catching fish and even ended the day with a shark, a true bucket-list moment! We canโt recommend Buddy enough; itโs clear he loves what he does and takes pride in creating lasting memories for others.
Thank you for the great review; I really appreciate it Dennis. I always look forward to fishing regular clients like youโฆit is truly like fishing with family. Have a great holiday season Dennis, and Iโll see you again somewhere on the other side of New Years Day. ๐ Best regards, Capt Buddy
Had a fantastic day on the water. We didnโt just go fishing, we went catching, and Captain Buddyโs experience and knowledge was why that happened.
He did a great job communicating to me before the trip about what to expect, and asking us what we really wanted from the outing. Weather was rough on our original day, so we pushed it to the next day on his recommendation, which was absolutely the right call.
We caught a lot of mangrove snapper, red and Goliath grouper, hound fish, and two 7-foot lemon sharks (long, fun fights)!!
Thanks again for the great time and calm waters, Captain Buddy!!

Thank you for your kind thoughts and words (and stars) Tyler.๐ย It means a lot to me to have clients like you reconnect just to share how much our time together on the water meant to you and and your family and friends. Hope you enjoyed the filets, and the rest of your stay here in the Keys. I also hope we can get together again in the future; you can always find me through Fishing Booker. Best regards, Capt Buddy LaPointe
My daughter, son in law and I had a great day with Captain Buddy. We could have easily limited out on Jumbo Mangrove Snapper. We caught and released a really nice Goliath Grooper and even landed a shark. It was non stop action and made for great memories
