Overtime Flats Fishing Charters

Overtime Flats Fishing Charters is a long-established Lower Florida Keys flats fishing guide service based at 187 Maracaibo Lane on Cudjoe Key, operated by Captain Pat Bracher, who founded Overtime Charters in 1987 and has made sport fishing his sole livelihood for over 35 years. Captain Bracher operates an 18-foot Hewes Redfisher and trailers his boat daily, giving him the flexibility to launch from any marina throughout the Lower Keys and Key West depending on season, weather, and target species — a key advantage for maximizing angler success on every charter. Overtime Flats Fishing Charters specializes in light tackle catch-and-release sight fishing for tarpon, bonefish, permit, and barracuda, with Captain Bracher having recorded over 6,535 tarpon releases and 1,311 grand slams throughout his career. Captain Bracher has earned multiple Outstanding Guide Flats and Most Releases awards at the Key West and Lower Keys Fishing Tournament and is a consistent champion at the Cuda Bowl and Sugarloaf Showdown tournaments.
