Amazing Fishing Trip for Our Group of 6

4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 23, 2025 • 6 adults

We had an absolutely great time on the fishing trip with Reel Tight Fishing Charter for the 6 of us The captain “Luke” went above and beyond in ensuring everyone was comfortable and had a great time. They were incredibly patient and accommodating, especially with us "newbies.". The boat was in top condition, the equipment was the finest, and the crew worked diligently to get everyone a chance to reel some fish in. We couldn't have asked for a better experience — would highly recommend Reel Tight Fishing Charter to anyone looking for a fishing adventure to recall!

Overcame a rocky start

4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 11, 2025 • 3 adults • 3 children

I booked Reel Tight Charters through your app. We arrived for a 8am 4 hour charter on time. The owner had no idea we were scheduled for a fishing charter. They were not prepared to accommodate us for an am excursion. They offered a 4 hour pm trip the same day. We agreed to go back to our vacation home and return at 1pm to go on the charter. Our Captain was Luke. Very personable and great with the kids aged 10 through 15. Caught six species of fish. Filleted and packed in ziplocks for quick transfer to our cooler. What started out as a stressful morning turned into a great experience with my son, son-in-law and 3 grandchildren. Captain Luke even stayed out a bit longer to accommodate my youngest grandson . Will definitely consider again if we return. Thanks Luke for a great day of fishing

We sincerely apologize for the scheduling conflict but we're so glad we were able to make it right for you. These things happen sometimes but we do everything we can to make sure you have a good time. Hope to see you again in the future!

Third year of having a great fishing trip

6 Hour Trip (AM) on June 24, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

Luke did a great job.  He got us on fish on every spot.  We just kept forgetting we weren't on Lake Erie or in a river.   He was really informative and great with the boys.  We ended up catching nine different species: Speakled Trout,  Lady Fish, Gag Grouper, Snook, Flounder, Mangrove Snapper, Salt Water Catfish, Red Fish, Jack Crevalle.  Might even get another on Friday.
