Born and raised in the Florida Keys, Captain Kevin is the owner of Dream State Charters and brings a lifetime of on-the-water experience to every trip. What started as a passion for fishing these waters evolved into a disciplined, results-driven approach built on understanding tides, seasonal patterns, and real-time conditions across Key Largo's inshore, reef, backcountry, and offshore fisheries. Specializing in inshore and reef fishing—with access to the Everglades backcountry and nearby wrecks—Captain Kevin positions clients for success with a focused, no-wasted-time approach. Target species include Snook, Tarpon, Permit, Bonefish, Mangrove Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Mutton Snapper, Grouper, and seasonal offshore fish like Mahi, Tuna, and Wahoo. From technical sight-fishing on the flats to productive reef and structure fishing, every trip is tailored to the client's goals and experience level. Beyond fishing, Dream State Charters also offers private sandbar trips, remote beach days, and eco tours through the Everglades and surrounding reef systems. These experiences highlight some of the most breathtaking and untouched scenery the Florida Keys has to offer, ideal for families, couples, and private groups looking for a more relaxed and memorable day on the water. Driven by consistency and execution, Captain Kevin runs each trip with precision, professionalism, and a commitment to delivering a high-quality experience—whether targeting specific species or exploring the natural beauty of the Keys.

I focus on efficient, results-driven techniques tailored to conditions and client goals. My preferred styles include sight-fishing on the flats for species like Permit, Bonefish, and Tarpon, along with live baiting and artificial presentations for Snook and other backcountry species. On the reef and wrecks, I rely on light tackle, live bait, and structure-based fishing to consistently produce Snapper and Grouper, incorporating dropping on structure and deep dropping when conditions allow for targeting deeper-water species. I adjust to jigging or bottom fishing as needed to stay productive. Offshore, I run trolling patterns as well as live-baiting and pitch baiting—two of the most engaging and productive methods for targeting Mahi, Tuna, Wahoo, and other pelagic species during seasonal runs. Every trip is adapted in real time—whether that means technical casting for experienced anglers or simplified, high-percentage approaches for beginners. The priority is always maximizing opportunity while matching the technique to the angler's skill level.
