Half Day Fishing (AM)
Awesome day fishing
Captain Nick was very accommodating. He worked very hard to make sure all of our party of 4 caught fish. All of us got several fish. Our 11 year old granddaughter had so much fun. All of us were talking about what a wonderful fishing trip and all the fun we had. Thank you Captain Nick for making it a great day fishing.

Half Day Fishing (AM)
Great day
Captain Nick was great. Showed us more than just fishing. We saw dolphins, manatees, osprey and more. We caught Sheephead (Wife caught two big ones), we got some snappers and even a blowfish. Captain Nick was patient with us, demonstrated what to do and then gave us free rein to catch fish. He would watch all of us and assist in telling us when to do what. Again, great day, great time and would highly recommend Captain Nick for fishing trips.

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!
