Drug free


Being raised and raising a child drug free is the only way to go. Thank God that the people we take on charters are here for the adventure and not for the drugs. During my past 6 years chartering in the Keys, I have been blessed to have had only one person intoxicated and his wife sent him below while she enjoyed the fishing. Our clients have shown me that fishing is just down right more fun sober. Have yet to see a cold beer ruin anyones fun and have also seen it takes very little for the beer drinkers to satisfy that urge while fishing. Guess I'm just proud of the folks who get high on adventure; everyone knows I do.
Our last dolphin trip fed the family and all the restaurant help. We released enough fish to have 2 good days worth of fish next time out. Reef fishing is still good and the 150 pound sharks really make a half day fishing go bye in a hurry. It's HUMP time again for tuna and large dolphin in that area. A one degree water temp has been lingering at the wall and the big fish are still there for the big game hunters.
Our annual weather is moving in and we will get slow. Fishing and lobstering is still great! The weather is slow moving and folks can plan their trips around it. Bad weather loads us up with some great floaters, so come on down between the storms. Captain Pips also has rental boats and package deals for all the venturers.

About Me

My photo
A native Floridian (Panama City, Fl.) that grew up entertaining vacationers and is still loving every minute of it. Nothing is more fun than seeing you catch that fish of a lifetime, whether it be a tropy fish or a rare species. Got my captain's license in 1963 and still get "buck fever" when we catch a fish. Been fishing the keys full time for 6 years and vacationed here for 10 years prior to moving here. 3 children, 2 grand children and a wonderful wife of 30 years. Absolutely living the dream in Paradise.
