About Your Guide

Hailing from South Florida, Captain Ken brings over 20 years of experience fishing the local waters he knows intimately—from the clear, shallow flats of Biscayne Bay to the intricate backcountry of Islamorada and the Everglades. Known for his patient demeanor and commitment to exceptional service, Ken delivers unforgettable fishing adventures tailored to anglers of all experience levels. He specializes in fly fishing and light tackle techniques, concentrating on the region's top inshore fishing grounds. Whether you’re targeting tailing bonefish, tracking permit across the flats, or pursuing tarpon during the early morning hours, Captain Ken offers expert local insight and a keen attention to every detail on your trip.

Each outing with Captain Ken is grounded in open communication, a deep respect for the environment, and a true passion for fishing. His mission is straightforward: to ensure a smooth and rewarding day on the water that results not only in a successful catch but also lasting memories long after the fishing ends.

A memorable trip with my father provided an excellent experience. Captain Ken consistently located fish throughout the day, enabling us to catch several species continuously. Besides landing impressive fish, we also enjoyed seeing a variety of wildlife, including dolphins, sharks, ospreys, saltwater crocodiles, and numerous bird species. I highly recommend booking a full-day excursion with Captain Ken for a rewarding and enjoyable fishing experience.

Thank you, Julio! Fishing with you and your dad was a blast! I’m glad I could help you achieve your first Everglades slam, including a 28.5-inch snook and 32-inch redfish. Looking forward to another adventure together soon. Tight lines! 🤙🏻

Ken is a dedicated, no-nonsense fishing guide. We fished in early February, and he had thoroughly researched the conditions—weather, wind, and water temperature—to maximize our fishing success. His versatility across different fishing areas and species makes him highly recommendable.

Thanks, Jon! It was an absolute pleasure guiding you. Hope to see you for another great day on the water soon. Tight lines! 🤙🏻

Ken provided me with one of the best fishing days I've ever had! We caught numerous reds, snook, and sea trout. Even with little to no prior experience, Ken’s expertise ensured I had no doubts about catching fish. He maximized my time on the water, allowing for virtually unlimited casts. Equipped with both fly and spinning gear, he adapted seamlessly to changing conditions. A fantastic teacher, no matter your skill level. Very relaxed vibe—10/10 would fish with him again.

Thank you, Charlie! It was wonderful fishing with you today. Congratulations on your first Everglades slam! Looking forward to more adventures soon. Tight lines! 🤙🏻

Ken is among the hardest working and most knowledgeable guides around. His intimate familiarity with the fishery means he tirelessly ensures you have an outstanding day—pole in hand against 20+ mph winds, he’s always planning the next move. For anglers who value a professional approach and continuous action on Florida’s flats, Ken is the perfect guide. I have already recommended him to multiple friends who appreciate the dedication required for a successful day on the water.

Thanks, Hillman! It was a true pleasure. Congratulations on your first permit! I look forward to your next visit to South Florida for another great fishing trip. 🤙🏻

Ken made for an excellent guide! Our six-hour fly fishing trip for tarpon, snook, and redfish was very relaxed but productive. He ensured we had opportunities to pursue all three species. I would gladly recommend him to anyone interested in fishing.

Thank you, Zach! Fishing with you and Emma was a delight. Glad to put you on some fantastic fish and hope to see you again soon for another fishing adventure. Tight lines! 🤙🏻

Undoubtedly one of the best fishing experiences I’ve had! Ken contacted me days before the trip to discuss expectations and target species. Right from the first casts, he demonstrated deep knowledge of Florida waters by finding fish immediately. Throughout the day, he shared valuable tips on casting and fish catching techniques. We landed between 25 to 30 fish, keeping four sea trout for dinner, which Ken expertly filleted.

Next time I’m in the Keys, I’ll definitely be booking with Ken again!

Thanks, Andrew! You and your crew were on fire! Glad you enjoyed your fresh-caught dinner. It was a pleasure fishing with you both. Hope to see you soon for another fishing trip. Tight lines! 🤙🏻

Ken delivered once again, putting us on fish quickly and consistently. Our first permit thanks to him!

Thank you, Juan! Congratulations to Marty on catching his first permit. Looking forward to your next visit for another exciting fishing adventure in South Florida! 🤙🏻

Ken did a fantastic job getting us to prime fishing spots while avoiding incoming storms. He was great with my 8-year-old son, creating wonderful memories for us both.

Thanks, Chris! It was a joy fishing with you and your son—he’s quite a little champion! Looking forward to our next outing together. 🤙🏻
