We had a bucket list trip planned, and spent the day with Capt. Gary doing some flats and backcountry fishing.  We had an amazing time and we would highly recommend Gary to any/all who are in search of a fun day on the water.  Capt. Gary is patient, knowledgeable, an excellent teacher, steward of the sport, and conservationist.  He has the eyes of an eagle and an uncanny ability to read the water.  In the span of the day we hooked into a Bonefish, Lemon shark, Bonnet-head shark, Mangrove snapper, Jack, Snook, and Redfish.  We also saw tarpon (but I spooked them with a high cast).  We also saw dolphins, stingrays, and to cap the afternoon - we rescued a green turtle on the way back to the dock. 
We had fun!  We learned a lot! … and we will definitely be back to see Capt. Gary again !!!

I can’t say enough about captain Gary.  I have hired several guides over the years.  most are great, but Gary was just that much better.  he not only put us on fish, but he also helped my son build confidence in his abilities as a young angler.  His instructions were great and well-articulated.  No help needed for my son, he hooked and landed fish on his own.

We caught several fish!  mainly Tarpon and snook.  We saw dolphin, several types of sharks, barracuda, huge crocodile, and had a blast netting Pilchers.  All this in a half day trip.  Gary really went above and beyond for my son and me.  I will definitely hire him again on our next trip to the keys.

What a great day on the water with Capt Gary! Fishing started out a little tough but we a little persistence we turned it into decent day! Capt Gary is a wealth of knowledge about the area and a great ambassador for Islamorada and the surrounding area. In addition to having a fun day fishing we learned so much about the area and ecosystem. When we come down here again we will book our trip around his availability.

Can’t recommend Capt. Gary enough. It was the first trip to the Keys for my son and I and Gary put us on some great fish. The first day we caught the Backwater Slam with Snook, Reds and Trout. The second day was filled with a morning full of Tarpon chances and while we tried our best we just couldn’t get hooked up, but that was our fault, not the Capt. We learned a lot and would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Gary!

Capt. Gary was amazing! My dad and I had a lot of fun. The unusually cold weather unfortunately killed a lot of fish but Capt. Gary went out of his way to keep trying different spots till I finally caught a snook. We were out on the water for more than our scheduled time as Gary was determined we leave with at least 1 catch. He, in fact, wanted to make sure my dad got one too and would’ve probably kept going all day if that’s what it took but we had to get back. I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
