I had never been fishing before, and the sheer size of some of the fish Capt Jay helped us haul out of the ocean was incredible! It was my first time seeing snapper and grouper in person, and it's a pity that none of us had the resources to take our catch home (our hotel room's mini-fridge wouldn't have stood a chance). Nevertheless, catch-and-release-style fishing was surprisingly very fun and a lot more fast-paced than I thought fishing would be. I do believe many of Capt Jay's customers bring their own coolers to cart their fish home, which is something we will keep in mind for our next trip down. We ended our trip with some snorkeling (with the aforementioned groupers and and thousands of yellow fish that I forget the name of) and that was amazing!! FYI, Capt Jay is fluent in both Mandarin Chinese and English, and really is a genuine, kind guy who works his hardest to ensure that you have a wonderful trip, weather permitting. Whether for snorkeling or deep sea fishing, I would highly recommend you give Capt Jay a call.

I have been to hundreds of charter trips. I have to say Jay is the single best captain I have ever…read morehad. Best service, equipment and technique. The boat is Hydra Sports 33 with advanced fish finders. Always fully prepared. Jay uses best rods, reels (Stella Sw, Daiwa Saltiga) lines and baits to catch whatever you want. If you would like to catch some food, You will probably limit out within hours for yellowtails, snappers and groupers. For those who wish to catch a trophy, hundred pounds of groupers, amberjack, tuna, Sharks are common. By the way, on Summer time, we released more than 40 Mahi because we have already limited out. Highly recommended.

There is a small parking lot and no public restroom but they do have a porta pottty there. It's surrounded by big rocks so you wouldn't want to go in the water there.

We've spent many years in Sugarloaf and fell in love with the lower keys; I especially love so much…read moreof the outdoors here like the End of the Road (Burn Out Bridge), Loop Road, Jumping Bridge, Key Deer Refuge, Blue Hole and so many more. Sammy Creek Landing is no exception. Basically it was once upon a time a home but today it's a local park but we can't figure out if it's a county park or from the state. We always wonder because one year it's nice and relaxing and another year it's overgrown with weeds and kind of sad. I remember when it had no parking (limited to parking on Old State Road 4A), and nowadays it has a parking lot and it's landscaped and it's pretty clean. Nonetheless the place is nice... and I cherish the memories I have of this place.

Other then the parking this place was really nice. It had a nice place to swim with great views…read morefrom the jumping bridge. A great place to take bikes to ride around the loop trail and down the burn out bridge trail. Great place to take in views of the old highway that used to be connected to the Burn out bridge. It kinda takes a while to get to one end of the trail. But it's totally worth it when you get to the end because you can swim, though there's a current, and take in the views of the national refuge there in the lower keys.

He is professional, knowledgeable, high-energy, and relentless. He had an aggressive plan to push out where he knows fish are as opposed to wasting time on over-fished spots that are closer to shore. We did whatever was necessary (trolling, drifting, bottom fishing, flat lining, you name it) to catch high quality fish-Bull Mahi, Black fin Tuna, Snapper, Grouper, Almaco Jack, Yellow Eyes, Blackbelly Rosefish. I look forward to my next trip with Captain Conrad and highly recommend you book with him as well. -Aaron Date fished: 6/26/2024
