Facts to Know Before You Book a Charter Fishing Trip Fishing guides in Miami are not hard to find. The hard part is finding a good one. As a full time guide, I offer you multiple advantages: • First and foremost, I am on the water constantly. On many days, I fish double trips. This helps me “dial in” on where the bite is happening. • Guiding is my full time occupation; I have no distractions with any other job. There are many part-time guides, whose primary source of income comes from their “other” job. Guiding is my sole occupation and source of income. • I am an owner/operator. I book all my trips. You’ll speak directly with me, not a hired assistant or secretary. On the day of your trip, I am the one who will be your Guide/Captain. • The rate I quote includes all the services I provide. There are no hidden fees that you find out about on the day of your trip. Don’t be misled by guides who may charge less. There could be hidden charges that you find out about on the day of the trip; this could bring the cost of your trip up to, (or more than), an amount that is out of your price range. • All my business comes from repeat customers, referrals, advertisements in fishing magazines, and my website. I do not pay anyone commission to send me customers. Many guides do use a concierge or booking service. They pay huge commissions for other people to book their boat that can range from 20% - 40%. This does not ensure that the guide chosen is the one that is best suited to your needs. • Many charter operations sell fish as an additional source of income. They will give you a fillet or two at the end of the trip and keep the rest to sell. All edible fish, (within legal limits), that we catch belong to you. I also practice catch and release; the choice is yours. • My boat, fishing tackle, and equipment are in top notch condition to ensure that you have the best opportunity to make that catch of a lifetime. I put my reputation on the line with everyone I fish with and always strive to show you the best experience I can. • I network with several other top notch full time guides who, like me, believe in providing honest, top quality service. If the date you’d like to book is already taken, we refer to one another. • I am not an overzealous promoter of taxidermy (fishing mounts). I can provide the information for this service if you are interested. Remember it is not necessary to kill a fish to have a mount created. Don’t chance the trip of a lifetime turning into an unpleasant experience. Get all the facts and all your questions answered before you book the date(s). I offer a variety of trips to fit everyone's needs. If you don't see the type of trip you'd like to take in the following list, give me a call or send me an email to inquire about it.

Evening Bottom Fishing Charters The rate for this type charter is the same rates as the ½, ¾, and full day as listed above. Small Children Introduction to Fishing This type charter is for small children who have little or no experience fishing. We fish for a variety of bottom fish and are more interested in steady action than size or quality of fish. Patience is not a virtue of most small children and steady action will hook them on fishing and have them wanting to come back for more. Four (4) hours will be more than ample on this charter.....................................................................................................$400.00 If you have other questions, or for more information, or to book a charter fishing trip call 305-965-9454
