Captain Bill Bassett at Bud and Mary’s My husband and I are boat owners and fish out of OCNJ for the past 30+ years. We came to Islamorada to fish a full day back country through the Everglades for a new experience; catch some fish new to us and see some cool wildlife. Friends referred us to Bud and Mary’s and after chatting with us for a bit, Chrissy paired us with Capt Bill Bassett saying that it would be a great fit, and she was right. Capt Bill is a master of his craft, knows where to fish, how to catch and cater to his clients. We caught snook, bonefish, sea trout, a bunch of jacks and saw some crocs 😀. He’s also an entertaining conversationalist, the 8 hour trip passed in a blink. What a fantastic experience, thanks so much Captain Bill and Bud & Mary’s Marina!

We came for breakfast. Had a breakfast burrito and a breakfast croissant. Very tasty. With our coffee. They brought warm milk! And then we got to watch them feed the pelicans and the other birds. Chaos. Delightful chaos. This is worth a stop at Bud and Mary's fishing. Marina to catch this site in the morning and have a great breakfast

Great day! Capt and mates were super friendly and attentive. Boat atmosphere was family friendly but not stuffy. We caught our limit of Yellow Tail snapper then had our catch prepared at a local restaurant. It was a fun and delicious day. We would absolutely recommend Miss Islamorada head boat.
