It was a cooler December morning in Key West, but we had an awesome time fishing with Captain Jagger! He accommodated our date/time and fishing preferences, and was super knowledgeable about the area and the fish, as well as very friendly. It was a slow day biting, but we still caught three mangrove snapper (which our captain cleaned for us after so we could bring it to be cooked for lunch at the delicious Hurricane Hole) and one gag grouper (which we had to throw back as the season just ended). Captain Jagger gave us the perfect balance of letting us fish freely and how we wanted, but was always nearby to help with a cast, reel, or stuck hook. It was a smaller boat, but comfortably fit the three people on board (even a few more), and was a great way to start the day. (Bathroom breaks at a nearby dock are possible for those who can’t hold it!) Definitely put this on your list for Key West!

My son and I went out with Capt. Jagger for a morning trip in mid March. He asked what we wanted to fish for and advised going out early (6 am) if we wanted to catch Tarpon. He came in 2 hours early to take us and he was right - he found the fish! Ended up catching a large (100 pound?) tarpon and Jagger was amazing. He weaved through anchored sailboats until we were in open water so we didn’t lose the fish. Will definitely book again next time we are in the Keys.
Their 5/5 reviews are well deserved!

Excellent trip! Captain Ryan was amazing! Clean boat, well equipped with good tackle. He put us right on the fish, lines stayed tight nearly the whole trip. Very knowledgeable, attentive and very relaxed. Captain Ryan not only put you on the fish but also let you fish, he is not pushy and very helpful! We caught a lot of fish! Delicious fish! We will definitely be booking with Captain Ryan again!
Thanks again Captain Ryan for a great trip!

Ryan was a fantastic guide! My wife and I went out for a half day with him and we had a blast. He contacted us the day before and the morning of to let us know that the conditions weren’t ideal and that we may not catch a ton of fish. I truly appreciated the heads up but we decided to go anyways and ended up catching several at every spot we tried! Lots of different species, too. Great time! Highly recommend Ryan.

After an early effort to get bait fish for the day, Capt Ryan put us on three different fishing holes which all caught fish. The 2nd hole was the best with sometimes two fish on at the same time. All of this in very challenging wind conditions and cold water. We’ll book with this outfit again on our next trip to the keys.
