Got out yesterday with my brother and our friend Capt. Charles Hertel fishing around the bridges in Islamorada. We got some good footage and put together a smashing video.. check it out! Nicks tarpon goes through the bridge and we have to float his rod through on a cushion to catch it… wild! Make sure to like & subscribe please too…
Got out with my dad yesterday… we got into some crazy big bull redfish! We caught a half dozen I think, with 4 or 5 of them in the 25-30 lb range. Just incredible and didn’t really expect to find ’em like that, but figured we might get lucky. YouTube video is live check it out below, and please subscribe to see more and share with your friends!
Well we had a chilly week again but water temps finally breached 70 degrees yesterday in the backcountry. I had Reg and Lucinda whom were really after some tarpon and wanted to see it in the backcountry. I wasn’t sure it’d be good or not, but today was our day. Luckily we made it happen, not a ton of tarpon back there but enough we landed 2 and missed a 3rd. But looks like no more cold fronts in the immediate future, and the winds are going to be a standard 10-15 mph. So that should be good for tarpon fishing back there. I also have had several days open up due to corona virus fears… so check with me you could get lucky and have cherry picked awesome early season tarpon days available, because otherwise I’m more or less booked through to Mid June.
Hello my name is Capt. Rick Stanczyk and welcome to my website! I’m a fishing guide in the fabulous Florida Keys, Islamorada to be specific. Tarpon are the species I spend a lot of time fishing for and they are my passion. I fish a more limited schedule these days
though I have a team of young talented guides who I've been training that are available for fishing charters, so please get in touch if you want to go fishing!
