Book your next trip with Renegade Fishing Charters and find out what you're missing in Islamorada. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Cole can tell you all about the local fishery.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Amberjack, Great Barracuda, Mahi Mahi, Black Grouper, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Sailfish, Vermilion Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Swordfish, Tilefish, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, and anything else that bites. On these trips, it’s common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Capt. Cole can also have you kite fishing.

Families making of a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites!

You'll be dropping lines from a 34' Hatteras sportfish that holds up to 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. It's customary to tip the Mate 20% to show your appreciation.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more.

It's always wise to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and a hat. There will be water on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own drinks. Alcohol is allowed. 

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Renegade Fishing Charters is just a click away.
