Your Florida Keys Fishing Guide

Captain Joshua Checkeroski

I have been guiding for 20 years and have spent my life chasing fish all over North America. My instruction will make you a better angler. My passion will make a memorable trip.

As soon as I found out that there were people who got to fish and be on the water for a living I knew I was going to be a guide. I started fishing at a young age and the passion has never left me. My love for guiding fishing has evolved over the past 12 years. From guiding salmon and steelhead in Michigan, trout in the Tetons, and finally the amazing Saltwater species in Florida. I have always been drawn to sport fish and places they live.

I believe that there is more to fishing trips than just simply catching a fish. Fishing is the journey to the hook up, the fight, and the photo. I believe in taking time to teach anglers how to cast and present flies as well as baits. During the course of a trip, I find it extremely rewarding to watch clients progress in their skill sets and ultimately become better anglers.

From Everglades National Park to my home in Islamorada, let me show you what Florida has to offer and why this area is considered to be the sport fishing capitol of the world. Be it fishing with artificial baits for snook and sea trout in the bays to hunting tarpon and permit with fly rod in hand, I work hard to make sure your trip is a memorable one.
