Our Crew
Captain Anthony Solmo
Captain Anthony has spent his entire life in South Florida. He grew up fishing both the East and West coasts, he was able to learn and master the best techniques from anyone who was willing to teach him.
Shortly after high school, Captain Anthony moved to Key West to pursue his dream of guiding. He has been chartering people from all over the world ever since. One of his greatest joys is seeing how excited his customers get when they pull their fish to the boat. He has worked his way to being one of the top guides in the Keys and is always ready to put you on a fish of a lifetime.
Ryan Persinger, First Mate
Ryan has has been fishing his whole life, splitting his time between the legendary fisheries of the Jersey Shore and the vibrant blue water of Key West. He developed a passion for chasing offshore pelagics, honing his skills targeting sailfish, yellowfin and blackfin tuna, mahi-mahi, wahoo, and a long list of other hard-charging species.
While Ryan is at home running the edge for big-game fish, he’s equally skilled on the inshore grounds, reefs, and wrecks. He has spent years perfecting techniques for snapper, grouper, flounder, sea bass, and other structure-oriented species, mastering everything from precision bottom fishing to stealthy shallow-water approaches.

We’ll drift along tidal flats, drop-offs, and channel edges where fluke ambush bait, giving anglers plenty of chances for steady action.
This trip is perfect for beginners, families, and anyone looking for an easygoing day on the water with great chances at keeper-size fish. All bait, tackle, and licenses are included.

We’ll start by working tidal channels and flats for fluke, then make our way out the inlet to target sea bass, larger fluke, and other structure-loving species on the reefs.
During the warm summer months, this trip can even offer a shot at bonus pelagics—like mahi-mahi—that sometimes gather around nearshore pots and buoys. With extra time to explore multiple zones, you’ll enjoy steady action, varied fishing styles, and the chance to bring home a great variety of fillets.
Perfect for anglers who want more adventure without committing to a full day, this charter includes all bait, tackle, and licenses. Climb aboard and experience a classic Jersey Shore fishing trip with expanded opportunities and plenty of excitement.

With the extra range and time, we can fish deeper nearshore wrecks, explore midshore structure, and run to productive offshore temperature breaks where pelagics begin to roam.
You’ll target fluke and sea bass on powerful offshore wrecks, then push outward for shots at summer pelagics like mahi-mahi, false albacore, bonito, and even the occasional school-sized tuna when conditions line up. The extended day allows us to cover more ground, switch techniques, and stay mobile—putting you in the best position when bait, birds, or temperature edges come alive.
If you’re looking for a serious day of fishing beyond the typical inshore grounds, this trip delivers high adventure, diverse species, and the potential for memorable offshore action.
