I’ve been fishing the Keys for years and I know a great captain when I see one. Captain Mike is the real deal. My son and I had an incredible time aboard the Big Dawg — Mike had us on fish fast and kept us busy all day. He knows every reef, wreck, and flat out there, and his live bait setup is second to none. Patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely loves what he does. We’ll absolutely be back next season.

Our family had an unforgettable day on the water with Big Dawg Sportfishing and we couldn’t be happier. As first-timers to offshore fishing in the Keys, we weren’t sure what to expect — but Captain Mike made the whole experience exciting and stress-free from the moment we left Captain Hooks Marina. He put us on fish immediately and kept everyone involved all day long. The Big Dawg is a beautiful, comfortable boat and Mike’s setup is top notch. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Marathon.

We just got back from our charter with Captain Mike and it was hands down the best fishing trip we’ve ever taken. We were onto fish so consistently we honestly lost count. But beyond the catching, Mike’s knowledge of the Florida Keys fishery is remarkable — from inshore flats to offshore wrecks, he knows it all and puts you right where the fish are. His passion for fishing is contagious and it shows in every part of the trip. We’re already planning to book again next year.
