I chartered this trip for my son’s 18th Birthday present. We left the dock a little early, and were fishing within 20 minutes. Captain Alex is very knowledgeable about where to catch fish and my son caught the first fish of the trip within 10 minutes! He also caught the largest fish of the day 15 minutes after that!
Captain Alex took us to many more spots on this trip, and we were successful there as well. I highly recommend this captain, as he was friendly, well spoken, and knew where the fish are!
We will definitely go fishing with Captain Alex Kirby again!
If you want to have a fun, and productive fishing trip, I suggest that you book with Alex Kirby as well.

In the words of my son, I would give him a 10 out of 5!  How do you top that? Captain Kirby was fun, knowledgeable, and patient working with my 10 year old son and I.  He hit numerous spots trying to get us in different types of fish. He gave us a couple technique changes for the fish down here and gave us a great morning of Florida fishing!  I will definitely schedule another one of his trips next time we get to Anna Maria.  Thanks Captain Kirby!

Do yourself a favor and book here. I Booked a trip for my wife(who doesn’t fish much at all) and myself.  Captain Alex Kirby delivered on everything we could ask for, not to mention making us feel right at home on his boat.  He handed over everything I needed to do my thing, including putting us on fish,  and jumped in and helped out when I needed it. He catered to my wife diligently and gave her ,what she called, the best day of our vacation. We caught several species of fish, had amazing scenery and were entertained the entire time.  We couldn’t have asked for anything more and do plan to book in the future when we’re in the Tampa/Bradenton area.

Tremendous experience out on the water with Captain Alex.  I’m down from Connecticut visiting my in-laws, and was looking for an activity for my 9 year old son and my Father in-law.  My son and I like to go fishing, but I really don’t know I’m doing.  Captain Alex delivered the goods! It was a beautiful morning on the water and before you know it we were pulling in Mangrove Snappers.  When we got back to the dock, he filleted them for us- and we actually took them to Crabby Bill’s in St. Pete and had them cooked up for dinner.  They were delicious!!  I highly recommend Captain Alex, and will be hitting him up on return trips to the Bradenton area.  Also- I know this is a trip my son will always remember.  Cheers Captain Alex! -Kevin

What an awesome day on the water! Capt Alex Kirby was super knowledgeable and friendly. Took us to a variety of fishing spots! We caught several fish. It was a great way to spend the day and worth the money.
