We started fish for Tarpon, caught a few hammer heads right away then a Jack. Moved to a different spot and not n stop Mutton Snapper action while soaking a few Tarpon lines then BOOM!. Big fish on and this fish would not come up from the bottom no matter what. We chased and fought this fish for 3+ hours and 2+ miles. Monster Sawfish finally won the fight. What a great trip and such great memories were made. Zack will do his best to put you on the fish. This guy is top notch. We will be back! Thanks again Zack, keep up the great work and stay safe out there.

Spending the day fishing with Zach was a blast- the highlight of my trip to Islamorada. He presented options on what to fish,  and I chose to target Snook rather than fishing top water for Barracuda, which I’ll be back to do. This was my first ever guided fishing tour- I grew up fishing but haven’t in years and I was nervous, but I’m so glad I booked a day with Zach at Zoned In. He was extremely dedicated to making sure I achieved what I set out to do- catch some fish! I felt extremely comfortable- He knew all of the best spots and what to use. I could tell from the locals’ interaction that he is a well-liked and respected Captain. Whether it’s your first time fishing, you’re a seasoned pro, or somewhere inbetween- you won’t regret booking a day of fishing with Zach. Now I can’t wait to come back for Tarpon!

Targeted species: tarpon and permit
Tarpon: Weather didn’t really corporate with us for tarpon fishing. Zach pulled out all the stops to try to lure them despite strong winds.
Permit: Arrived on location a little early due to stubborn tarpon but the permit showed up on time with tide change.
Had a fun time and made some great memories.

We had a great day with Zach on the flats sight fishing on the fly rod for tarpon, permit and bonefish.  He’s got a nice set up (boat, rods, etc.) and has got great eyes for incoming fish!  He’s friendly and easy to talk to and laugh with.  We’ll be back!

Had a blast with captain Zach! Found a way to put us on fish in tough conditions.
