Captain Buddy arrived on time and gave us excellent directions to get to the pick up point to start the trip on a high note! Off to get bait and “one” toss with the net filled the live well. (Other boaters we’re not fairing as well)
We reached the fishing area with a lot of other charters following close behind! Baited and in the water and I would say we had lines in at least 95% of the time with short spells to check bait or change up strategies! Although we tried, nothing was working and no one in that area had any success as well! Just an off fishing day! We did move to several other spots and when time was nearing the end we hooked an 110lb bull-shark and brought him up to the boat! Vote made and decision to let the shark live another day and we released him! Made the trip!

Captain always kept us informed on what was happening and what to expect next! Felt extremely comfortable AND we are certainly booking next year! Certainly highly recommend!

Although due to the weather, we were nervous the trip may be cancelled, it turned out to be a beautiful day with some amazing catches! Captain Buddy put us on and we caught:

Speckled sea trout
Bluefish
Black tip reef shark
Atlantic Sharp nose…AKA hot dog shark ☺
Spinner shark
Fine tooth shark
Stingray

WE HAD A BLAST!!!!!

My daughter caught the biggest catch of the day with that massive stingray!! She fought it for a while! It was awesome to watch her reeling in such a big catch!!

We would definitely recommend this trip!! Captain Buddy is knowledgeable, funny, and made us feel comfortable. I love how he encouraged us to cast, hold, and throw back our catches ourselves. I loved that!! We all love to fish so the experience wasn’t overshadowed by him doing everything for us!

We are cooking the sea trout tonight as he cleaned and bagged it for us. And gave us tips on best ways to cook it! PHENOMENAL EXPERIENCE!!

Really had a good time. Captain Buddy is very knowledgeable about many different types of spices and their habitat in this area. He is a wealth of knowledge and is happy to share his knowledge with others. He was very polite friendly and in his realm. Learned a lot from him in 4hrs. I would definitely schedule another trip with him. I have been with Guides that is very rude and really don’t care if you catch anything or not. Captain Buddy is NOT one of those Guides. Actually Captain Buddy is the total opposite because he wants to put you on the fish and have a good time as well. Thank you Captain Buddy for all your hard work. Hope I can schedule another trip with you this Fall.

My wife and I had a great time fishing with Captain Buddy on our honeymoon. My wife had never fished before and I had never salt water fished. Captain Buddy did a great job teaching us and working with us to make sure we made the most of our time and caught as many fish as possible. We ended up keeping one shark that he filleted for us after the trip and even gave us a shark taco recipe for it (we’re cooking it today and I’m pumped to try it). All you need is a positive attitude and whatever food/booze you want and Captain Buddy will take care of the rest.

We booked the trip for two adults and were originally going to go offshore. We decided to go inshore and fish for reds instead. Captan Buddy was able accommodate us and put us on the fish. We caught a few keepers and a couple of nice reds over slot that put up great fights. We even pulled in a porcupine fish on the boat.  Captan Buddy was very knowledgeable about all the different fish and wildlife in the area.  I would definitely recommend Captan Buddy.
