Captain Lehman is the greatest fishing guide I've ever had the privilege of meeting. He was so down to earth that if seemed as though we've known each other for years. Now about the fish- simply put, he put us on the fish! We made several stops and caught something at each stop. A personal best redfish of 23 inches was caught, only to be replaced by another personal best 24 inch redfish! Although we hooked up and landed some undersized flounder, Captain Lehman took us to another spot where 3 keepers (flounder) were caught. We caught a variety of fish: redfish, flounder, mangrove snapper, jack crevalle, catfish, sea robin, and a puffer fish (I know the last four species are trash fish, we still landed them). We felt so good to end up with a keeper slam of redfish, flounder, and mangrove snapper! Seeing the manatees, dolphins, and sea turtles was a nice bonus. Like I previously stated, Captain Lehman put us on the fish- he instructed us on where to cast and what kind of action to apply- and we caught a good amount of fish! Here's to hoping for another trip in the future! If you want to catch some decent fish, book Captain Lehman! V/r, Mike R.
Capt Lehman was great-on time ,ready, and a great conversationalist. We hit a bunch of spots and caught fish in all of them-8 different species and took home enough fish for multiple meals. Couldn't recommend him more- knew plenty about the history of the area too. kept us entertained and "hittin em" all day
What a morning. So sore. Captain Norman provided a great fishing experience. Caught over 12 species of fish. Caught 20 fish. I am tired.
We had a great half day morning trip with Lehman. He took us to good spots and helped everyone in the group with our casting and fishing technique. We caught 13 fish, mostly sheepshead that provided a delicious lunch and dinner. This was our third trip with Lehman and it has been fun every time.
10/10. Captain Lehman put us on the fish. Took home the limit but caught many more. We will definitely book again
