Jose Rodriguez, Guide at Above & Below Adventures

Fish the world-famous waters of the Florida Keys with Captain Jose “The Snapper Whisperer” Rodriguez, a born-and-raised Keys angler whose passion and knowledge make every trip unforgettable. Based in Cudjoe Key, Key West, and the Lower Keys, Above & Below Fishing Adventures offers private fishing charters for anglers of all levels — from seasoned pros chasing trophy swordfish to families looking for a fun day on the water.


Your adventure takes place aboard a brand-new 2025 custom 32’ SeaVee powered by twin Mercury 300s, fully equipped with the latest electronics, a tower, JL sound system, and even Starlink Wi-Fi. The boat is tournament-rigged but family-friendly, designed for both serious sportfishing and relaxing days exploring the Keys.


Trips are fully customizable and may include:


Offshore big game: Swordfish, mahi, wahoo, tuna, sailfish

Reef & wreck fishing: Snapper, grouper, mackerel, amberjack

Family-friendly outings: Sandbar trips, snorkeling, wildlife watching

Sunset cruises: End the day with dolphins, music, and a Florida Keys sunset



Captain Jose grew up fishing with his father, a commercial fisherman, and has spent his life mastering these waters. Known for his patience, energy, and passion for teaching, he makes every guest feel like part of the family. Guests often describe fishing with him as “the trip of a lifetime” and say it feels more like going out with a good friend than just a captain.


Every charter includes:

✔️ Top-quality tackle, bait & licenses

✔️ Cooler with ice & bottled water

✔️ Fish cleaning and filleting after your trip

✔️ Local knowledge to put you on the fish


Whether you’re chasing a bucket-list swordfish in 1,500 feet of water, filling the cooler with snapper and grouper, or just relaxing at a crystal-clear sandbar, Captain Jose will create a trip tailored to your group.


Above & Below Fishing Adventures – Key West & Lower Keys Fishing Charters is more than just a day on the water — it’s an authentic Florida Keys experience filled with adventure, relaxation, and memories that last a lifetime.
