Rob’s accolades are several IGFA World Records, including an impressive 38 lbs, 12 oz King Mackerel caught on just a 4 lbs test line by angler Jerry Mathews.
If you’re seeking an exceptional fishing charter in Key West, consider booking a journey with Rob and Capt. Mason Carlson. Our outing surpassed all expectations! The boat was pristine, and Captain Carlson was nothing short of amazing—striving tirelessly to ensure every guest landed a catch. His dedication paid off, resulting in one of the most memorable fishing experiences we've ever had. Everyone is already eager for our next adventure with them.
As a second-generation fisherman, Rob’s expertise truly shines. He expertly navigated us to fruitful spots near the harbor, guaranteeing a successful day on the water. We highly recommend his charters for an unforgettable fishing experience.
Spending the day with Captain Mason was absolutely incredible. Our family of six, ranging from seasoned anglers to young children, enjoyed a private excursion that went beyond all our hopes. From the moment we boarded, Mason created a welcoming and relaxed environment. He was attentive to everyone’s needs—helping the kids with bait, sharing fishing tips for beginners, and maintaining a patient, enthusiastic attitude throughout.
What made the trip stand out was Mason’s focus on safety and inclusivity. Every family member felt like part of the crew, fully immersed in the experience without any pressure or rush. He even extended our fishing time when the action picked up and introduced us to local wildlife and hidden gems known only to an expert. This tailor-made adventure was truly unique and highly recommended for families and anglers of all skill levels.
We had an amazing day on the water with Mason, who was easy to talk to, engaging, and wonderful at sharing his knowledge. The excitement of catching Mahi-Mahi and other exotic fish made the trip all the more fun. We can’t wait to fish with Mason again soon!
