I’m a beginner to fishing and was encouraged to go out with my boyfriend who booked the trip. I typically get seasick and was not looking forward to the experience (if I'm being honest). However, after this experience, I now have developed a newfound appreciation for this sport. Thanks to Captain Charlie. He is a great guy and is passionate about his job. We caught mahi and mutton!

Captain Charlie is by far one of the best guides in the upper keys. I took my sons out with him for their first offshore fishing charter. Captain Charlie was kind and patient with them as he showed them the ropes. They had the time of their lives and we can’t wait to do it again next year. Thanks for a great day.

Highly recommend booking with Against the Grain! We booked a half day reef and wreck charter. We caught fish almost immediately and everyone on the boat was able to participate. Thanks Captain Charlie for the laughs and the memories.

I've fished with Capt. Charlie Rogers and Against the Grain Charters on multiple occasions now. Every time Charlie puts us on the fish and shows up with a positive attitude and a sense of excitement to share what he loves to do with others. If you’re looking to book a fishing charter in Key Largo, Against the Grain is the way to go.
