I took my two boys (age 13 and 15) out with Captain Alex as a birthday gift for my 13 Year old, and Alex did not disappoint. Super nice guy who has been here his whole life and knows where all the best fishing spots are. Super patient with me and my boys, provided guidance when we needed it and has loads of knowledge about fishing. We caught huge snook and Goliath grouper and snapper along with other smaller fish. We made lots of memories and had a fantastic time.

I highly recommend Alex. His boat was clean and organized, he was on time and was well prepared.
Definitely book with him when you are in the area.

Alex is awesome!  Our family of three caught lots of what we requested in beautiful backcountry- Snook, Grouper, Jack Crevalle, Snapper and my wife also accidentally hooked a stingray.  The equipment and entire experience is top notch.  We stayed at Fisher Inn making it extra convenient to/from the charter.  Highly recommend!

At dawn’s first light, from Fischer Inn,
Where Islamorada’s charm begins,
Hold Tight Charters sets the stage,
For anglers’ dreams to be engaged.

With Captain Alex at the helm,
We seek to fill our baitwell’s realm,
We catch live bait, a precious trove,
To lure the fish from depths below.

To mangrove trees, we cast our line,
In shadow’s depths, our fate entwines,
The snook and tarpon take the bait,
As anglers’ hearts anticipate.

From distant shores, Jelena came,
To catch her first elusive snook,
With hands a-quiver, hope aflame,
She cast her bait, to test her hook.

The snook emerged, a beauty crowned,
As Jelena’s joy knew no bounds,
Jumping snook, the grip and grin
Got the release, for the win!

Hold Tight Charters, filled with glee,
With Captain Alex, dreams roamed free.
First fish released in the Glades
and now it’s time to just slay

Caleah was ready to fish
A snook or tarpon, she wished -
Pilchard pitched out to the sea,
Silent hope for victory.

The silver king took the hook
angler fought the fish by the book
as it ran, and jumped and shook
Fish landed, photos are took.

Swift snook, the linesider prize,
Allures us with its tales and size,
Capt. Alex’s skill prevails,
As anglers’ talk tales of tails.

Leaping tarpon, kings renowned,
Their antics make our hearts resound,
With glistening scales, they soar up high,
We grapple, fight, beneath the sky.

Amid the mangroves, snappers hide,
Their vibrant hues in shadows bide,
But Captain Alex knows their lair,
And hooks the fish with skill and flair.

For dinner, snapper we will feast,
With mangrove snapper, we head east.
Back to the barn, so they say
Dinner and a show.  Great day.

Hold Tight Charters, witness true,
To dreams achieved and legends new,
With Captain Alex as their guide,
Anglers find their fishy prize.
