I will preface this post and say that I work for a recreational fisheries conservation organization and have the fortunate opportunity to travel and fish for "work" with some of the best captains around the world. Although this wasn't a work trip, I had a college buddy come into South Florida for a weekend full of fishing. With plans to... More

I have my own boat and normally fish offshore or out on the reef. I took the opportunity to spend the morning with Capt Tony in the back country last week and it was outstanding! We caught well over 40 trout, and a mixed bag of other misc. fish. We ended the morning with a nice shark catch. I'd highly... More

My family and I were fishing once again with Bamboo Charters on February 28 and 29, 2012. We couldn't have asked for a better two days (other than it was a little on the windy side). The fist day we went out with the owner, Captain Matt and we caught a nice mix of fish and a nice nurse shark.... More

It was not in my itinerary to go to the Keys alone BUT I ended up there as all my friends were busy working, boo! Soooo I wanted some good exhilarating outdoors sports, paddle boarding, snorkeling, sun bathing- yes that counts ;) and fishing. Fishing alone could be a bit intimidating, especially for me, female, alone, not knowing where to... More

'I fear no man, and very few women...' was something i recall hearing during lunch on part of our first outing with Capt. Matt...Fishermen are known for telling stories, and Capt. Matt is a good as they get! We didn't originally book with Bamboo Charters, but through a series of events we ended up with Capt. Matt (the very 1st... More

We loved our experience with Bamboo charters. Ann and Captain Matt were easy to work with. Fishing was white hot. Caught lots of Spanish Makerels. The Boat had a sweet, quiet engine and we saw Dolphins playing close by. At the end of the day, a Manatee was sitting in the marina when we returned. We got to play with... More

Took our teenage daughters out for a day with Captain Matt and LOVED IT!! He totally tailored the day to us, taking us by Robbie's Marina to feed the Tarpon, then fishing and wildlife viewing. And then, the DOLPHINS came out to play and surfed alongside the boat!!! He really made us feel special, mentioning us on the live radio... More

I have traveled, hiked, camped, and fished all over the western world and have never had a better experience than fishing with Captain Bellinger. We caught a lot of fish, grouper, trout, and mackerel in the backdrop of the beautiful Florida Bay. But as any fisherman knows, the quality of a fishing trip is determined mostly by the quality of...

Capt. Matt kept us on our toes, and kept my young children off of their Kindle. Capt. Matt was very engaging and interested in our experience. We caught a "back country slam" in the eyes of a 3 year old. A mangrove snapper, a sheepshead, and a grunt, these were all crowd pleasers in the eyes of our daughter. His... More
