Our fishing trip with Captain Buddy was by far the BEST fishing trip we have ever taken. Capt Buddy was patient, super knowledgeable, and so much fun to be with!! He was also extremely accommodating and went out of his way to make our trip a memorable one. While Capt Buddy was helping my husband during his first costal fly fishing experience, he set me up on a spinning reel. My husband and I were both catching fishing very frequently. We were able to land barracuda, bonefish, and sand perch. Capt Buddy also coached us through our first tarpon fishing experience. We can’t say enough great things about Capt Buddy and we will definitely book with him again next year.

Captain Buddy LaPointe is an excellent fishing guide. He is knowledgeable and explains the techniques and tackle that lead to fishing success. We have a fun day catching a number of inshore / flats fish species including barracuda, bonnet head sharks, and a bonefish. Caught my first barracuda on one of my own tied flies. Great experience.

Buddy was awesome with my son TJ(11yrs old)….My son’s goal was to catch all kinds of species for this trip….after finding a ton of Spanish Mack we decided to move to the bridges and had a blast catching 13 different species and the bonus sighting of a 6-7ft Tiger Shark was the cherry on top!Highly recommended if you wanna use lighter gear and actually catch fish instead of trolling and snapping wire offshore

Every year we anxiously await our fishing trips to the Keys knowing that Buddy will put us on the fish.  We caught the “fishing bug” years ago first on board a party boat.  We moved onto charters and we were fortunate enough to meet Captain Buddy early on.  He has guided us for several years in a row and we couldn’t ask for a better guide who adjusts according to weather and conditions.  We have a great time on the water catching “eating fish” to battling a shark or tarpon.  Buddy’s experience and patience show everytime we go out and can’t wait for our next trip!

My son and I did our first guided trip in the Keys and Capt Buddy was awesome! He put us on a variety of fish but catching sharks was the best time! We will be using Capt Buddy again!
