3/4 Day Fishing
Great day
Spent the day on the water with my 12-year-old son. Captain Nick was professional, knowledgeable, and had us on fish quickly. He was patient with my son and helped him catch snook and mangrove snapper throughout the day. We ended the day with a great tarpon. My son had such a great time, we have been off the water for close to 4 hours at this point and he is still pumped!

Perfect day on the water!
Nick is amazing! He put us on the fish, and didn’t hesitate to give us all the tips and tricks on how to make our fishing experience even better. We caught Mangrove Snapper, Snook, and Sea Trout. We also saw tons of wildlife right next to the boat, including manatees and dolphins. His knowledge and passion for fishing is clearly evident. It was an amazing day!

Ended trip with monster snook
Beautiful day with son and grandson’s. Right away we knew Capt. Nick was a pro. I’ve fished this coast 30 years. He put us on mangroves first then realized we can cast moved on to snook. Although small it was great action with my boys. Completed the day with 35 “ snook. Nick was prompt, polite and on his game. Thanks much, Jack
