We had actually booked 2 charters with Capt Mike but unfortunately he had serious boat issues the day we were scheduled for the first charter.  Due to the debacle, he kindly discounted our second outing, which is great customer service! There was a front that moved in before we headed out, which ended up making the fishing difficult.  Capt Mike and first mate Miles worked hard to get us on some fish.  We moved to several locations and he was on the phone quite a bit investigating who...

Captain Mike and first mate Miles did an excellent job getting around the reef, wreck, and offshore fishing spots.  They were well prepared with bait and tackle for each location.  Worked very hard to locate fish.  Provided insights on free line and live lining techniques.  Even assisted hooking some additional fish at the reef to ensure we landed as many fish as possible.  We caught some nice yellowtail and landed one grouper on the trip.  Well recommended to anyone looking for a daytrip...

We had a great experience with Jersey Key. It was a wonderful part of our family vacation. Captain Mike is welcoming and relaxed, but he wants to catch fish and he worked hard to do so. And we caught fish! The highlight was a school of Mahi and a Mutton Snapper. My family had a blast and we would go fishing with Jersey Key again!

First time out with Jersey Key charters and will not be the last. The wife and I have been on well over a dozen charter trips in the Keys and fishing with Capt Mike was our most enjoyable charter to date. Very hard working and extremely nice and patient.  We started on the reef and caught a bunch of yellowtails and then went to chase mahi. We ended up catching about 20 and keeping 10. It was not easy fishing but Capt Mike never stopped and got us on fish.

Started with “sporty” conditions for the day and Cpt. Mike and Kyle immediately found the Yellow Tail bite.  Looking for grouper with a number of strikes on the bottom, but no joy getting on the boat.  Ended the day on Mahi adding to the hook n cook meal for the day.  Clean boat. Clean tackle.  Definitely heading out again with Jersey Key Charters when in Marathon! Highly recommend with fair charter rates.
