Cole Tristram
Renegade Fishing Charters brings you straight into the heart of Islamorada’s world-class fishery with a captain who knows these waters inside and out. Captain Cole has spent years studying the tides, the seasons, and the behavior of the many species that move through the Florida Keys, and he builds every trip around giving guests the kind of day they’ll talk about long after the cooler is packed. Whether you’re new to saltwater fishing or you’ve been doing it for decades, this is the kind of charter that makes the sport feel fresh every time.
Your day starts aboard a classic 34’ Hatteras, a comfortable sportfishing boat set up to handle just about anything that bites. It holds up to six guests and features outriggers, downriggers, quality tackle, plenty of deck space, and a clean restroom for convenience. Water and ice are included, along with all rods, reels, licenses, and the use of live bait. A skilled first mate is on board to assist with rigging, coaching, and landing fish, and a 20% tip is appreciated for their work. Families are always welcome, and kids often end up stealing the show with their catches.
Islamorada is famous for variety, and Captain Cole makes the most of it. Depending on the time of year, you may target Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna, Barracuda, King Mackerel, Black Grouper, Snapper species, Amberjack, Sailfish, Swordfish, or even deep-dwelling Tilefish. Tactics range from trolling and bottom fishing to live baiting or kite setups, giving you a hands-on look at how this fishery changes throughout the seasons. If you’re after something specific, just let the captain know so he can shape the trip around your goals.
Guests appreciate Captain Cole’s patient approach, steady coaching, and genuine passion for the sport. He works hard to make sure every group has a smooth, enjoyable day, and he takes pride in helping visitors understand the unique environment that makes the Keys such a productive fishing destination. From short trips that fit tight schedules to full days offshore, every outing is planned with care and backed by years of local experience.
Renegade Fishing Charters gives you more than a seat on a boat. It offers a true Islamorada fishing experience shaped by knowledge, hospitality, and a captain who loves seeing people catch fish. Book your trip today and enjoy a day on the water you won’t forget.
