I’ve been on a lot of guided fishing trips over the years and have to say that the trip I and my daughter and her friend just took with Captain Ron is one of the best ever, if not the best.  We had only booked a half day trip, so I was surprised when he suggested the 30-mile run to the mainland near Flamingo City.  Even though the rides there and back shortened our fishing time some, he said we would have much better fishing than if we stayed local to Islamorada, which was what other guides in the area had always done.  He wasn’t kidding.  We enjoyed almost non-stop fishing action.  I was especially happy that we caught a lot of good sized snook (and, of course, were very careful to release healthy and unharmed).  We also caught a lot of other species: trout, jacks, a black drum, and many others). We eventually caught a few lemon sharks, which were fun and also never boated, but released safely.  We only took a couple of trout for dinner that night (delicious), all the rest were released.  Captain Ron fishes out of of the Worldwide Sportsman in Islamorada.  If you book a trip with him, you’ll have a fishing experience that you’ll never forget.

Had an awesome trip with Captain Ron and Pirate for Hire charters. My wife and I caught a ton of trout, grouper and had fun bringing in a huge shark on light tackle. Great guide and knowledge of the waters. Would definitely book with him again!

Captian Ron knows how to put you on the fish based on his vast knowledge and sees what others cannot. It’s obvious he loves to see folks hooking up on his well-equipped Sportsman and is very personable and funny. Book him now!

One of the best charters I have ever been on.Capt Ron makes the day seem short and leaving you wanting another trip with him. We caught the full variety of fish. I would recommend Ron as the best,and I have been fishing the world for70 years.

Went out today with Captain Ron me and my wife enjoyed the boat. The fishing was great captain Ron was knowledgeable. It was an enjoyable trip great weather, beautiful water. Can’t wait to do it again.
