Book here 10/10 Times!
Inshore Bay 4hr on June 9, 20262 adults

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an incredible day on the water with Michael! He made the trip a complete experience by showing us the entire process from catching our own bait and rigging the lines to putting us on some absolute hawgs. What really stood out was how much he cared about making sure everyone had a great time. When one member of our group hadn’t hooked up with a fish while the rest of us had, Michael didn’t just call it a day when our trip was supposed to end. He stayed out with us for nearly two extra hours to make sure everyone had a chance to land one. If you’re looking for an inshore guide who works hard, teaches you along the way, and genuinely wants his clients to succeed, Michael is your guy. We’ll absolutely be booking with him again!

Sons birthday trip
Nearshore Coastal 5hr on June 30, 20252 adults

Capt Michael was amazing and waited out the rain with us so my son could have a great birthday out on the water. He was very patient with both of my kids 11 and 6 and they loved every minute of being out there. He also put us straight on some fish and we caught our limit of reds and had a great birthday lunch. Would definitely recommend and plan to book with him again in the future

Thank you Caleb!
