Excellent Florida Keys Fishing Charter to choose if catching a lot of fish is what you want to do. Capt Chapell knows his stuff and hes running a state of the art fishing boat, you cant ask for a better time fishing the Florida Keys. I highly recommend Catch A Lotta Fish Charters book with confidence!

Thanks Capt James, we had a great day of fishing with some great weather. We absolutely love fishing in the keys and Catchalottafish was perfect for us. Your boat is super nice and you know where the best spots are and kept us on the fish all day. Thanks again.

Captain James Chappell runs an outstanding operation on a completely bad @ss new 34′ Freeman stacked with high-end electronics and he knows where to find the fish. My wife and I had an incredible 8 hour trip in 3-5′ seas but being a wide cat vs a v-hull, the ride in the rough seas was more than manageable so keep this in mind when booking a charter for wives and children. We’re looking forward to booking again for some May 2017 for sail fishing. -Andy and Wendy

Capt Chappell you are a true keys professional. It was a little sporty out there with 4-6 footers all day and your rig handled it amazingly, I felt like I was in sportfisher. We still were able to hook up on 6 sailfish landing 5 of them. My wife caught her first and was so excited about it. Can’t wait to book with you again next year for more sailfish!!!!

AWESOME! I’ve been fishing with Cpt James for three years now and think he is the BEST charter captain in Islamorada. He is consistently on fish, allows his guest to do as much or as little as they are comfortable with and will tailor every trip to suit the skill and desires of the anglers. Add in the fact that he is a likable guy that can talk about a lot more than catching fish. Book with catchalottafish and you will not be disappointed.

Went fishing today with Captain James in rough seas, 6-8 footers. The Freeman 34 handled it far better than most boats handle 2-4. More importantly, Captain James kept us on the fish and was enjoyable to be around. He made myself, my father and my uncle feel good the whole time. Pedro, his mate, also worked his butt off for us. We really appreciate it and look forward to doing it again.

We hit sailfish yesterday. Caught five, all big. My two were both seven feet plus. . Great captain and mate, respectful. Boat was in great shape and fast. The crew worked hard to make it a great experience. You should book James as your captain today!

Capt James went out of his way to make sure we caught sailfish, we ended up with 3. I will definitely be back.

If you’re looking to catch some fish, have a good time, and look good doing it at the same time, book with James. This was the best charter I’ve been on in south florida, and I we will be returning clients. We battled weather and still went 3 for 4 sail fish, caught a school of bonita, and a few others. You definitely will not be disappointed. Thank you Catchalottafish for checking this one off my bucket list.

Wow! My wife and I haven’t done a whole lot of fishing charters over the years but this was by far the best! Ross and Shannon worked their tails off and we caught so many fish and so many different species! My first sailfish! Mutton Snapper, Yellowtail Snapper, Amberjack, Black Grouper, Rainbow Runners…etc! It was a great day on the water and so much fun! Thanks guys for an incredible outing!

Went out with Ross and his deck hand Eric on Dec 29th. Very friendly and super down to earth dudes. Great sense of humor and good attitudes the whole afternoon. You can tell these guys enjoy their job! The seas were choppy but the boat they have made it easy to be out there. Had an awesome day and caught fish! Thank you guys for making our first Florida trip memorable! Would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

Awesome day with Capt Kiki on the All Lit Up. Limited on yellowtail snapper and on 2x Goliath groupers. Very instructive with 2 CO fly fishermen with limited saltwater experience. Great company and boat!

Ross and Jerry are the best around hands down. Had our limit of dolphin by 10:45 AM. If 10 stars was available that’s what I would have given.

This was our first trip to the Keys & we could not have asked for a better time! Captain Ross came highly recommended & put us on the fish. First mate Cooper was very engaging, helpful & has a bright future ahead of him. Both were very professional, first class, & great with us & our children! We will definitely fish with them again!!! Do yourself a favor & book a trip with Captain Ross!

The best fishing trip I have ever been on!! We had such an amazing day!! Captain Ross and Cooper worked so hard to put us on the fish!! My dream was to catch a sailfish they made it happen for us. Lifetime experience and the view was incredible! So awesome being able to see your fish being caught it was so clear! We also caught some king mackerel and an African pompano!! Don’t book with anyone else but catchalottafish charters they won’t disappoint!! When we come back we’re only using them!

This absolutely was the trip of a lifetime! Captian Ross and Eric did a great job of putting us onto fish and making sure that we were having a great time. Both are very personable and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend these guys to anyone.

ROSS & ERIC…AMAZING,hard working, knowledgeable through and through. They know exactly what to do and where to go. We caught so many fish, I probably should just say we made our quota lol. At the end of the day, you both were amazing company and I’ve never seen a man reel a fish in by hand.

Great trip! Took some friends in from out of town and filled our coolers. Capt Kiki knew exactly what was biting and put us on fish all day. Guides were super knowledgeable, fun, and interactive. I’ve fished a lot with guides in the keys and these guys were top notch. I’ll be a repeat customer.
