Words from Our Clients

Testimonials

Hear what our satisfied clients have to say about their experiences with us.

I highly recommend booking with Captain Mike. He knew exactly where to go and what bait to use. We caught a solid amount of fish and had a lot of fun doing it!

Codi O.

We decided to go with Lower Keys Adventures and Captain Mike for our charter because we could do some fishing and snorkeling all in the Eco Tour. Captain Mike is a very knowledgeable and capable boat captain and works very hard to give you the very best day on the water. He has a lot of fishing experience and will explain what he is doing and why, so its a real education. Captain Mike is the kind of guy that goes from being a total stranger to friend in short order and I cannot recommend him more highly.

Guy Cline

My husband and I had a fishing trip today with Captain Mike. Nonstop on fish, brought so many home. Captain Mike was professional and kind, We couldn’t recommend him more for your Keys adventure on the water! Thank you for a great day!

Nearshore Fishing

Experience the diverse fishing opportunities of the Lower Keys, where every trip is tailored to the day’s best action. From Big Pine Shoal to American Shoal Lighthouse, we’ll find a productive patch reef or perhaps troll along the barrier reef. This trip is usually dedicated to the south side of the Keys. Hawk Channel goes to about 45′ deep, then gradually rises to about 17′ once you get to spots on the barrier reef. We have an opportunity to catch some of the same fish as the backcountry with waters that get more and more blue. Cero mackerel, various snapper, red grouper, and yellow jack all make great table fare!

Offshore Fishing

Bluewater / Deep Sea

Experience the thrill of offshore fishing beyond the barrier reef in the crystal-clear blue waters of the Lower Keys. Target trophy species including dolphinfish, blackfin tuna, skipjack tuna, bonito, sailfish or even wahoo in the deep waters of the Atlantic. This adventure is perfect for serious anglers seeking big game fishing experiences, with techniques ranging from deep dropping to trolling with strategic runs following birds and weedlines.

For optimal comfort and success, these offshore trips are best suited for 2-4 adults. Early morning or midafternoon departures often provide the best offshore opportunities, though departure times can be customized to your schedule.
