Captain Sid Bryant

Captain Sid Bryant has been a Florida Keys fishing guide for 30 years, a resident of Islamorada for 35 years. After graduating with a history major from W.G.C., he moved to the Keys from Georgia and has since dedicated his life to showing his anglers the true beauty of the Florida Bay flats and the thrill of pursuing the world class gamefish abundant in these crystal clear Keys waters.

The most sought after fish in the Florida Keys backcountry are Tarpon, Bonefish, and Permit. However, Snook, Speckled Sea Trout, Mangrove Snapper and Jacks are also terrific fighters on light tackle and are plentiful in Florida Bay. Gamefishing and fishing for the fun of it are equally welcomed.

Catch and release is a compassion, that he and all his longtime angler's have always practiced, however fish for an evening meal can be caught for your dining enjoyment.

Captain Sid is dedicated to introducing serious and novice anglers to the greatest scenic beauty and fishing available in the U.S.; specializing in light tackle, fly fishing and fly fishing lessons. Whether a first time fisherman or experienced, each day is a learning experience and an adventure you will want to repeat time and time again. Captain Sid believes in teaching his anglers with patience and tolerance. Above all, fishing should be fun.

A guide to many tournament championships, including 1996 Redbone Guide To Celebrity Grand Champion, and Grand Champion Angler, 1993 Redbone Guide To Largest Bonefish, 1991 Guide To Miami Met Largest Bonefish as well as many others.
