Every frame below came off a real charter. No stock, no staging, just the water our captains work, the fish it gives up, and the people who were standing there when it happened.
Three Waters Resort Marina before sunrise, and the run out through the cut. This is the part nobody photographs enough.
Mahi and wahoo on the humps, sailfish along the color change in winter, swordfish thirty miles out in the dark. Everything here was caught within a morning's run of the dock.
First fish, best fish, and the ones the family still argues about. Most of the faces here booked a boat and left with a story.
The shortest possible trip from the reef edge to a plate. Cleaned at the dock, or cooked before you get there.
Sunset cruises, shark trips after dark, and the Fourth of July from the best seat in the Keys.
A professional lens rode along this summer: ladies' trips, the University of Miami tournament, and Sebastian the Ibis himself on the bow. This is what a season at full tilt looks like.
Yes, the mates shoot the highlights and share them after the trip; just ask.
Please do. Text them to the dock or tag the fleet online.
Every one; no stock, no borrowed fish.
