Jeff’s Fishing Guide Philosophy:
Being a lower Florida Keys fishing guide is my profession. I guide to live and live to guide. My first thought every morning when I wake up in my home on Big Pine Key is: Where are they going to be today? Spending so much time on the water in touch with the tides, the wind, the feel in my bones of how the day will unfold is an all day meditation for me. Although I have all the tools, I trust my instinct, honed by experience--that will put us on more fish than all the electronics in the world.
Being a Florida fishing guide is the way I express myself, an art-form and passion that has taken time to learn. I have over seventeen years experience as a full-time Keys fishing guide, charter fishing for bonefish, tarpon, and permit on the flats of the lower Keys from Marathon to Key West. The ultimate satisfaction for any fishing guide who truly loves his work is to have his client catch that fish of a lifetime. Anglers have caught 50-pound-class permit with me guiding them. They have landed double-digit bonefish and released man-sized tarpon. Along with those thrills, I’m willing to steer anglers to barracudas, jacks, and sharks. I enjoy guiding everyone -- from fly fishing and spin fishing aficionados to novices. It's all about seeing my clients with a fish on the line, that's what gets me excited. My job is to wring the most from your angling day.
My Style
I have a highly-mobile style of guiding here in the Florida Keys. I'm not afraid to pole the boat silently for a long way, but I also know when it's time to run to another spot. I motor aggressively but also safely and with respect for my home waters in Big Pine Key. My goal is to make you a client for life, not just a day.
I'm Captain Jeff Belsik a licensed Florida Keys fishing guide since 1993.
