Captain Sal's passion for fishing began early in his childhood. Starting with catching sunnies in a local New Jersey pond, he quickly developed a love for angling that took him all along the Atlantic coastline. He has gained extensive experience fishing both inshore and offshore waters from New Jersey to North Carolina, and now he is based full-time in Islamorada, known as "The Sport Fishing Capital of the World." While his main expertise lies in offshore fishing, Captain Sal operates several boats and is ready to accommodate any type of fishing trip you desire. He also enjoys working with children and is enthusiastic about hosting Family Fun excursions!
Sal was truly outstanding! He exceeded all expectations on our outing. We will certainly be booking with him again. It was a great half-day of fishing, and the captain made sure we found plenty of fish! Captain Sal was fantastic, guiding us to the tarpon. We were blessed with perfect weather and a stunning sunset. Many thanks to Sal for accommodating our last-minute booking.

Join Captain Sal for an exciting fishing adventure over the offshore barrier reefs and wrecks of Islamorada. As you drift and bottomfish, you'll target a variety of species including Groupers, Snappers, Hogfish, and more. These reefs offer excellent cover and structure, making them prime spots where reef fish gather for both shelter and feeding. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced angler, you’ll have plenty of chances to fill your cooler with tasty table fish. Hogfish are especially prized for their flavorful, white, flaky fillets.
With years of reef-fishing expertise, Captain Sal is the perfect guide to help you make the most of your trip. He provides valuable tips to enhance your bait presentation, hook setting, and fighting techniques. Typically, you'll be dropping your lines straight down over the reefs to entice bites, but depending on the weather and target species, you can also try drifting or even some trolling.
