We had been recommended to Bamboo Charters through a friend and could not have been happier! We had a group of four adults and one child and he catered our experience to both! Tony set the adults up with their rods and gave us a quick lesson as some had never fished before. He then set the child up with... More

My boyfriend and I went on a charter with Mike. We are both avid fisherman and were excited at the possibility of catching rarer species, such as snook, bonefish, and redfish, so we were initially disappointed when Mike let is know the tides were not in our favor for those fish. But we could not have had a better day.... More

As expected bamboo charters did not disappoint us. Matt always makes the day fun and interesting. Watching my husband catch a black tip was great. There is no one else we would rather go fishing with than Captain Matt. Thank you so much again Matt and Ana. We will be back soon.

My wife and I had an awesome day with Captain Tony. We did the half day rip and went shark fishing. First he took us to catch our bait which was a variety from lady fish, mackerel, pompano,snappers and jack. Had a blast just catching the bait. Then it was on to a different spot where he cut the fish... More

We took a full day charter with Captain Matt. We had 4 in our group. Everyone had a great time. I have been on many charters and have not found another captain who will go above and beyond like Captain Matt. We caught many varieties of fish. Especially fun was slaying the Tripletail and getting a keeper Redfish. In addition... More

We went shark fishing today with Capt. Mike. He warned us that he didn't have a good morning due to winds, etc. but we decided to go for it anyway as this was our boys first trip to the keys and we wanted to catch sharks. He took us out toward the Everglades and we ended up catching lots of... More

We enjoyed a half day trip with our daughter and Captain Tony. We could not have been happier with the experience. My husband mentioned that he had never caught a redfish, and Captain Tony set out to find the right spot to make that happen. We caught redfish, along with numerous trout, black drum, and sheepshead. Fishing in the Everglades... More

Fantastic trip with Captains Mike and Matt! Great boats and learned a lot, even as an experienced Keys angler. Landed trout and my biggest snook ever! Don't miss the kayak fishing with Bamboo.

Fished with Captain Mike today, he is incredibly patient + pleasant...and....he KNOWS where the fish are. It was my first time fishing with fly-rod in salt water and he took us to places where I caught Jack Cravelle, spanish mackerel, and a 2 foot black-tip shark. An amazing thrill catching all these different species on a fly!. I would recoomend... More

Thank you Matt and Ana for an amazing day in the back country. Matt is an amazing captain. He kept us on fish all day long. Three days later and my husband is still talking about what a great day it was! We are already planning our next trip. Thanks again for showing us what back country fishing should be... More
