Florida Keys flats fishing guide Captain Luke Kelly 

So who the heck is Capt Luke Kelly anyhow ?

    Raised in the lower Florida Keys, I have spent my entire life appreciating the inshore flats, reef, and open ocean that surround the Florida Keys. I am not a ‘seasonal’ fishing guide, nor do I guide in any other part of this country. The lower Florida Keys are and always have been home to me. This is where I founded my ‘year round’ charter fishing service, this is where I intend to keep it for years to come. I developed this website with my passion for this flats fishing resource in-mind. I can only hope that the sheer size of this site can help measure that passion for those reading.

    The surreal views we take-in while fishing the inshore Florida Keys shallow water backcountry is what has ultimately kept me going back to the flats. Enjoying the memories and good times spent with anglers alike is where I now find fun in what I do for a living.

    As for the flats fishing guide service I provide to my customers/clients; I guarantee everyday is treated as a new, time is never waisted, while everything within a possible realm is accomplished in-order to provide a memorable Florida Keys flats fishing experience. My main goal is to see new customers become return clients and friends. I work as hard as I fish when on charter!

The Sugarloaf Marina is where I prefer to depart from (best fishing, less run-time). It is located on Overseas Highway, mile marker 17, Gulf-side.

I rarely answer my phone while on charter, I feel it’s rude to talk business when with customers. Between Feb and July, also Sept through Nov, I am best reached by phone after 5 pm. I prefer email and also check my messages daily, so feel free to leave one. -Thanks
