Foodchain Fishing takes you straight to the basics! If you want to take your family on an old-school fishing trip, look no further than Captain Carl Bish. He's an angler and a science teacher who puts all he's got into helping enthusiasts out. This charter means stripping down to the core – keep it simple, just go fishing. The trips are suitable for anglers of all skill levels specializing in couples and in families with children.

You will be angling from a 26' McKee Craft center console that was restored in 2023. She can comfortably take your crew on an adventure around the Keys with all the tools to put dinner in the cooler.

Foodchain Fishing is primarily a family fishing charter, Capt. Carl and Capt. Jim each have over 35 years experience in this business. We have had our fill of long days and rough seas, now we just want to take folks fishing for 3, 4 and 5 hour trips. We fish where the fish are and where the waves are most comfortable. On really bad weather days we simply cancel or postpone the trip. We only make about 200 days available each year, so it is easy for us to postpone by swapping off days for better weather. Most of our crews are families: Couples, brothers, sisters, parents with children ranging in age from 3 to 40 and even children with parents. We like crews of 2-4 anglers but can accommodate families up to a total of 6 with approval.

Once aboard, you'll literally fish up the food chain – cast your lure, reel in your catch, then repurpose it to hook something even bigger! The reefs and wrecks here are teeming with fish, so odds of catching a big one are on your side. You'll target a variety of species including Snapper, Grouper, Mackerel, sharks and more, depending on the season.

Foodchain Fishing will see to it that you get the most out of your time on the water. Not only will you fish around the Marathon reefs and wrecks, but you will also learn about the reef ecosystem and the town's history.

Great Day!
Half Day Trip (PM) on април 11, 20242 adults

Captain Carl took my wife and I out into the Gulf and provided an amazing day of fishing. It was clear to the both of us that Captain Carl had a vast knowledge of the waters and of fishing in general. He was always proactive with moving to a new spot if we weren’t catching any fish at our current location. He was quick to share his knowledge of the biodiversity present in the keys, and the history behind the islands. The day progressed to a point where the Captain and my wife had a system down where she would catch the fish, swing it over the gunnel, Capt would take it off and re-bait the hook, and she was back fishing within the minute. We were able to limit out on Mangrove snapper, and even hooked up to a monster grouper! Capt made the day feel less like a charter booked through a website, and more like an afternoon fishing with a friend. This day truly made our honeymoon even better and is a day we won’t soon forget!

Response from Captain

Thank you for choosing to spend time on your honeymoon to fish with me! Wish you both the best and I look forward to fishing with you again in the future!

I earned my first Captain's License at the age of 20 and immediately began operating charters on the Great Lakes. On Lake Ontario, we fished for King Salmon, Steelhead, Atlantic Salmon and Lake Trout. Walleye ruled Lake Erie, so we went after it, while Smallmouth bass always made for a fun trip. During the offseason I taught science in high school. The two careers were soon complementary – I focused on providing family-based trips aimed at getting children into sport fishing. I ran this service each summer during the fishing season until selling it in 2015 to move to the Florida Keys. Here in the Keys I continue to focus on family-based fishing in a relaxed 'go out and have fun' style. I enjoy educating families on the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and the surrounding ecosystem. Onboard, our goal is to fish up the food chain or as our slogan says: 'Start with a shrimp....end with a monster!'
