CAPTAIN JEFF MALONE

Hi, I'm Captain Jeff Malone, part of the SE Outfitters fishing team here at Hawks Cay Resort.

I specialize in Florida Keys inshore fishing and have a tremendous passion for catching fishing's greatest prize—big Florida Keys tarpon.

In all my years fishing in the Florida Keys I've discovered few thrills compare to fighting a 100-pound tarpon. Watching anxiously as a tarpon slams your fly or bait and makes its drag-screaming run and high-flying jumps is an experience you will never forget.

In addition to tarpon fishing I offer flats, backcountry and light tackle trips using both fly and spinning gear.

One of my favorite activities is to take kids out to bend the rod on snapper, jacks and barracudas, and to help them get better acquainted with the basic saltwater fishing techniques in the process.

I also love the challenge of stalking the flats for bonefish and permit, and enjoy venturing into the backcountry to target snook, redfish, tarpon, speckled trout, sharks and more.

Whether you're looking to catch tarpon, or one of the other many challenging inshore game fish that we have here in the Keys, I look forward to sharing the ultimate Florida Keys shallow water fishing experience with you.

Happy Holidays! 12/23/2010
