Hi, I'm Captain Tony Polizze. Originally from the Jersey Shore, I grew up in Wildwood Crest and Cape May, New Jersey, where my love for fishing began the day I landed a 38' striped bass right off the beach. From that moment on, I was hooked.
Growing up, I spent my summers fishing up north and my winters down in South Florida, where I explored the waters of the southeast and southwest coasts, and eventually, the Florida Keys. The contrast between northern and southern fisheries shaped me as an angler, giving me a deep respect for the challenge and strategy each species brings. Even now, I'm always thinking through how to land the next trophy fish in these beautiful waters
have to offer.
Today, I'm proud to call the Florida Keys home and run my fishing charter out of Big Pine Key, right in the heart of some of the best fishing in the world. From backcountry, bridge, and patch reef fishing to thrilling offshore trips, there's always something exciting to chase in any season or condition.
But fishing isn't the only thing that drives me; family is everything to me. My wife and I share a deep love for the ocean and the lifestyle that comes with living in the Keys. We've spent countless days together exploring these waters, and it never gets old. We're raising our two beautiful daughters, Olivia and Claudia, to appreciate the same sense of adventure,
nature, and the connection that fishing brings.
One of my greatest joys is sharing this experience with other families and making memories!
