Florida Keys Light Tackle & Fly Fishing

Captain Luis Cortes

Capt Louie

I'm a Florida Keys fishing captain specializing in Light Tackle & Fly FIshing for Tarpon, Bonefish, Permit, Snook, Redfish, and many other inshore gamefish. I love what I do and would love to share my PASSION for fishing south Florida with you and make a customer for life!

Being the son of a South Florida offshore fishing guide naturally led me to where I'm at today. My passion for fishing started as soon as I was able to hold a fishing rod. I grew up in Miami fishing offshore and would travel with my family to the Florida Keys almost every weekend to where I now reside in Islamorada.

The first time my father took me sight fishing as a young child I was "hooked" to say the least. I couldn't get enough of the hunting aspect of sight fishing and still to this day it's my favorite way of catching fish.

I will always remember the day my dad bought me my first fly rod, we spent hours in the yard practicing our casting and we would fish the local canal systems catching peacock and largemouth bass with the occasional snook and tarpon.

I am forever grateful with what he taught me as a child, showing me the many different aspects of what South Florida has to offer.

As a fishing guide I truly enjoy watching my clients pull on a fish they only dreamt of catching. I love what I do for a living and know how important it is to show my clients the best possible time on the water whether it be a fly angler getting as many shots as possible at stringing tarpon or a kid having his rod bent all day.
