Camden Mullis, Captain at Held Fast Charters

Discover the seas of Cudjoe Key, Florida, and just have a good time fishing with Held Fast Charters. There is much to capture in this beautiful location abounding in marine life, out from inshore to nearshore to the backcountry waters.

Come on board with Captain Camden Mullis, owner, and operator of Held Fast Charters. He was born and raised in Georgia and has had a fishing rod since he was about three years old. He spent much of his high school and college years fishing lakes and rivers in Georgia and neighboring states, but he always made at least one trip down to the saline waters of Florida.

After college, he went on to take different jobs before finally settling to become a full-time guide. He moved up to Alaska, where he started instructing from drift boats on the Kenai River. He went down to the Florida Keys to fish between seasons and fell in love with the place and the complicated puzzle that this fishery presents. He received his captain's license and established Held Fast Charters. Now, he's welcoming you to Florida as you take on your next best fishing trip with him.

Experience angling from a 23-foot Carolina Skiff flats boat which can fit up to four fishermen. It has a 150 HP Yamaha engine, GPS, and a fish finder for piloting, as well as a cordless trolling motor and a live well. Catch and keep Great Barracuda, Mangrove Snapper, Red Grouper, Shark, Permit, Spanish Mackerel, and Jack Crevalle with light tackling or fly fishing.

Captain Camden will provide everything you need for the trip, grab your drinks and food, and you’re set to have a wonderful time fishing on Cudjoe Key's pristine seas!

Capt. Camden's fishing trip provided us with an enjoyable day in the Keys. We began with some sport fishing; we didn't catch anything, but we had a great time casting. We caught several various types of fish when we started chumming, and Cam filleted them for us so we could have a delicious meal that night! Most importantly, I enjoyed Capt Camden's calm and upbeat approach with our two sons—he answered every single question while keeping an eye on the lines and preparing for the next catch. This was an excellent day that I wholeheartedly recommend!!

We had a great time with Cam from Held Fast Charters! We caught barracuda, hogfish, grunt fish, and pin fish. We also saw an Eagle ray and a pod of dolphins. Cam was a great guide, and was able to help everyone in our group (from complete novice to pretty experienced) - and everyone had fun! Cam also filleted the hogfish we caught, which we can’t wait to eat it tonight. We would absolutely come back to fish with Cam and highly recommend anyone who wants to fish near Key West to book a trip with him!

Booked this hoping the girls would have a great time. The Captain was awesome and did his best to make sure they all caught some fish. Had a great time and really enjoyed it. Next time we're back at Sugarloaf we're definitely doing this again.

Camden put my entire family on fish coming off some really tough conditions the past week. Couldn’t ask for a better finish to our trip. Thanks Camden.
