Florida Keys Fly Fishing / Flats Fishing Charters and Guide Service |
Captain Biography
 My name is Capt. Paul Fisicaro
and I have been guiding in the Florida Keys for 21 years.
I was born and raised in the Bronx New York where my passion
for fishing first started at age 4. My father is the one
who showed me what fishing was all about and that's all
it took. Whether it was fishing for stripers and bluefish
off the jetties of the L.I. Sound or fishing off a 14 ft.
skiff in the bay for flounder or fluke, I couldn't be happier.
Now I'm in the Florida Keys and doing what I love most.
When I came to live in the Keys, I found that catching bonefish,
tarpon and permit to be one of the most thrilling times
I had ever experienced. Once I had experienced that thrill,
I decided to do it for a living and to show other anglers
one of the most enjoyable aspects of fishing. The expression
I see on their faces, makes it all worth while.
Whether you are a novice or seasoned
angler, it is always wonderful to see the excitement that
people show. The expressions on your faces when you hook
up to a bonefish that screams off 200 yards of line in one
run or a gill rattling jump by a 100 lb. tarpon is priceless.
I specialize in fly fishing and light tackle and offer the
best quality fishing tackle available. I have been fly fishing
since I was 11 years old and tie my own flies that are proven
patterns that catch fish.
