Hot Water Fishing

Hot Water Fishing, LLC offers private inshore and backcountry fishing charters in the Florida Keys, with trips based in Marathon and serving the Lower Keys and Everglades National Park. Led by Captain Justin Bachert, the business tailors each outing to anglers seeking a hands-on experience among the region’s flats, beaches, and coastal waters. Captain Justin draws on a lifetime of fishing experience, beginning with bass and trout before focusing on species such as snook, tarpon, and redfish.

Charters are available in half-day, three-quarter-day, and full-day options. Half-day trips are suited to summer mornings or evenings, while three-quarter-day outings allow more time to explore the flats. Full-day charters are recommended during tarpon season, from March through June. Guests can fish with fly or light tackle for tarpon, bonefish, permit, redfish, snook, barracuda, and other local species. Hot Water Fishing emphasizes customized adventures, whether stalking fish on the flats or pursuing tarpon along the beaches. Anglers can contact the company by phone or email to inquire and book.
