Jeffrey Bell, Captain at Florida Fishing Mate

Florida Fishing Mate offers a true guide-only fishing experience for boat owners who want to get more out of their time on the water. This service is built for anglers who already have access to a capable vessel and want a seasoned South Florida fishing guide onboard to help them fish smarter, safer, and more effectively. No boat is provided. This is strictly hands-on guiding on your boat.


The captain has lived in South Florida for over 30 years and has been fishing these waters since childhood. From early days on local party boats to years spent adapting to changing conditions and techniques, he has developed a deep understanding of what it takes to consistently catch fish today. That experience includes tournament wins, including the Shake-A-Leg Shootout, and a long track record of helping guests succeed offshore and on the reef.


Florida Fishing Mate operates from Miami to Marathon and is extremely familiar with this entire stretch of coastline. Trips are customized based on conditions, season, and your goals, whether that means kite fishing with live bait for sailfish, high-speed trolling for wahoo, deep dropping for tilefish, daytime sword fishing, wreck fishing for grouper, or patch reef fishing that’s perfect for kids and families.


All trips are guide-only and require boats that meet strict safety and performance standards. The captain will only guide on vessels that are 24 feet or larger, powered by four-stroke engines, and model year 2008 or newer. These requirements are non-negotiable and apply to every booking.


Your trip begins at your location of choice, whether that’s your home dock, marina, or public boat ramp. There is no centralized meeting spot, as every trip is based around where your boat is kept or launched.


The captain provides top-of-the-line rods, reels, terminal tackle, kites, electric reels, deep-drop setups, and specialty gear needed for the day. He enjoys instructional trips just as much as hardcore fishing days and is very family-friendly. At the end of the trip, your catch is cleaned and bagged.


If you’re ready to make the most of your boat and learn proven techniques from a dedicated local guide, Florida Fishing Mate is ready to step aboard.
