Hey Everyone, it’s Captain Jake! I am born and raised here in Islamorada, and I have been an avid fisherman of the Florida Keys my entire life. My knowledge spans from Miami to Key West, from Florida Bay to the Gulfstream and throughout the Bahamas as well as Cuba. I started out working as a deckhand on an offshore boat throughout the beginning of my career. While doing so I received the opportunity to chase every pelagic fish that swims. My days off were spent exploring all parts of Florida Bay and the flats around Islamorada for snook, tarpon, bonefish, redfish, and permit. Although I still love offshore fishing and get the chance to do it from time to time, my true passion is Fly Fishing in the backcountry for anything able to be sight-fished. Since I was 9 years old I have had my own boat and spent countless hours on the water studying and obsessing over what is now my profession. I have dreamed of nothing more than to be the best and most knowledgeable fishing guide to clients that can hopefully share the same passion for fishing that has been instilled in me. Nowadays when I’m off the water I spend time with my new-born son Colton. I truly hope he loves fishing like I do, and I’m so thankful he will have the opportunity I did as to grow up in the best place on earth; Islamorada.

Tight Lines, Capt. Jake Turek
