Me & some of my real estate partners flew into town on a business trip from Milwaukee for our brokerage Exp Realty for s international conference and we came in town a few days early to vacation & we booked a fishing trip with Captain Tyler &  Captain Chris!

It was such an amazing experience. They were super knowledgeable, everybody felt safe on board and we got some action & were able to not only catch some fish but also eat our fresh fish afterwards! I highly recommend them and look forward to the next time we can come back out here with them.

Bite started off slow.  Kites were out and no hits for the first couple hours.  A nice distraction was throwing some bait to a remora and hooking him for a little fight.  Then It happened and we hooked into a giant sailfish.  At first contact he stayed under and i thought i had a 10 pound mahi on.  Then he realized he was hooked once he saw the boat.  A huge jump and 500 yards of line shot from the reel.  The fight nothing short of what you see on tv.  Great maneuvering by capt chris and his crewmate, we managed the giant to the boat.  92 inches 80 pounds released to fight another day.  Thanks Chris for a dream come true.

So glad we upgraded to sport fishing (trolling) instead of bottom fishing. The wind was blowing and the ocean was pretty rough but Captain Chris navigated our nautical adventure like a champ. Within the first five minutes of the bait in the water we had a bite and reeled in a Mahi!  Over the next hour and a half we hooked two more (unfortunately the big one for dinner got away) With mission accomplished we’d had enough of getting sprayed by the eight foot swells. We headed to calmer waters and snagged two barracudas then hooked a Tarpon on the way back to the dock. It was so cool watching it flip out of the water and almost land in someone else’s boat before it cut loose. I’d say our first time oceanic fishing was an amazing memory.

Captain Matt gave us a great trip. My husband and I brought our three youngest with us 4, 9, 12 on this trip. Captain Matt was great with our kids, knowledgeable, and we were able to catch a ton of fish! We all had a blast until two of the kids started puking from the motion. Capt. Matt brought us back to shore and helped the kids fish off the dock. We saw a few sharks 🦈 off the dock, but they didn’t want to bite. It was a great experience and we would definitely recommend it and will be using them again in the future.

Chris was our Captain. He was early and had everything ready to go. We got an early fish trolling, and a few bites. Then it slowed down. He suggested bottom fishing and the bite was awesome. Chris was amazing. He kept the lines baited, took fish off the hook and identified all the fish. He definitely made the trip fun for my wife and daughters and me. I highly recommend Reel Floridian. We will be using them again next year.
