Strip Strike Charters

Strip Strike Charters is a specialized fly fishing and light tackle guide service based in Marathon in the heart of the Florida Keys, operated by Captain Paul Fisicaro, who established the charter in 1997 and has spent over 26 years perfecting the art of flats fishing for tarpon, bonefish, and permit on the crystal-clear waters of the Middle and Lower Keys. Captain Fisicaro is a Thomas & Thomas fly rod pro staff member who ties all of his own flies and offers hands-on fly casting instruction for anglers of all ages and experience levels, making Strip Strike Charters an exceptional choice for first-time fly fishers and seasoned veterans alike. The charter operates out of a 2024 18-foot Floyd 10 Weight — a lightweight technical poling skiff renowned for its stability and minimal draft — and covers flats fishing grounds in Marathon, Islamorada, Big Pine Key, and Everglades National Park depending on season and conditions. Strip Strike Charters offers fun fishing trips for barracuda, jack crevalle, redfish, snook, and pompano in addition to the prized grand slam species, giving every angler an action-packed day on the water.
