Captain Samuel hails from a long line of fishermen in Southern New Jersey, exploring the offshore canyons of the Northeast and fishing along the entire East Coast. From childhood through his young adult years, he spent countless hours fishing with his grandfather at Big Pine Key. With over a decade of professional fishing experience, Sam has extensive knowledge of Key West and its nearby waters, which greatly contributes to his skill in locating fish and delivering exceptional charters year-round. When he's not out on the water with clients, he enjoys sharing his passion for fishing with his wife and their two young daughters, aged 1 and 3. It was a fantastic trip! Everyone had a great time and landed some fish, with an exciting boat ride to and from the reefs adding to the fun.

When you book a full-day bottom fishing charter with Captain Sam in Key West, you’ll find that everything needed for a safe and productive excursion is provided. This is one of Captain Sam’s favorite trips to run throughout the year. Our day begins by spending time catching live bait, which plays a crucial role once we reach the fishing grounds. There, we’ll target formidable species like Black Grouper, Mutton Snapper, Cubera Snapper, Cobia, African Pompano, Permit, Amberjack, as well as Lane, Yellowtail, Mangrove, and other unique reef snappers. Don’t hesitate to ask Captain Sam which species offer the best opportunity for an abundant catch during your trip.
