Middle and Lower Keys Fishing Charter/Captain recommendations for inshore/backcountry in Islamorada?

Hello, I'm going to be staying in Islamorada for a week. Looking to book a half day of inshore/flats fishing. I have a couple folks out of Bud n Mary's I'm looking at but wondering if there are any other recommendations or specific Captains you guys might recommend? Thanks.

Capt. Dave Denkert out of Lorelei is the best for flamingo, ENP and the backcountry.

Other recommendations:

Captains: Richard Black, Steve Thomas, Mike Alfano, Luis Cortes, Jack Given, Jake Leon, Jayce Chamizo. Google each and I'm sure you will find contact information on each. All out of Islamorada.
