Awesome day before Tropical Storm Eta comes in… Brandon, Astrid, and myself caught some nice mangrove snappers. A perfect little half day option. Then we made some great Peruvian ceviche! Make sure to subscribe to our channel if you like what you see!
Fun day with my dad and brother Nick. We got into some good snook, dad got the biggest however! Also we cook one that was gut hooked and give it a try – my first time having snook to eat!
Fun day last week with my dad and our friend Charlie Kluck. Some nice redfish, including a monster bull that we haven’t seen since last spring. Good to see some showing up. Please make sure to like the video and subscribe on YouTube!
Got out yesterday with my dad, Richard Sr. and our friend Russ. It was a prefrontal, calm condition – very good for big snook in our area. These fish we definitely don’t get all the time, and a lot of times they just aren’t an option if the wind is too much or wrong direction. But before a front like we had, with a calm northerly breeze, it is ideal. We fished several areas, and many of them had life. We caught 3 very large snook over 15 lbs, one that was personal best I think close to 28 lbs! Also quite a few medium/large size fish in the 8 to 12 lb range. We also got a nice juvenile tarpon early on, and about a half dozen redfish. Quite an epic day in the backcountry. We have a lot of wind kicking up now with the front here and lots of rain today (Saturday). But looks to clear up tomorrow. It’ll be a bit of a windy week, but should still have good general fishing. I have some days open come the third week of October (just had a 3 day cancellation, so 19 through 23 are available as of now). Give me a shout, it’s a great time of year to fish!
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!
