Capt Ryan was awesome. We did an afternoon fishing trip with him and he took us to some great spots. We started out with getting a bunch of speckled trout and then working our way around looking for snook. My son caught a really nice snook and snapper, along with some specs. Ryan is great and really made the trip phenomenal. I highly recommend him.
Captain Ryan put me on the fish. I was hoping to catch one snook which was on my bucket list. After losing numerous snook , due to my abilities, I not only landed a few but they were big uns . And as a bonus he got me a couple of tarpon , one which was too big to bring into the boat. I highly recommend Captain Ryan
👍🙌🙌
90% of fish will hang in only 10% of the water. Captain Ryan knows where that 10% is and will put you on fish. He's been fishing in this region since childhood and has learned from the best. The best thing is that he's willing to share that knowledge. What I learned will save me countless hours of trial and error. Thanks for a great day Cap!
👍👍👍
My son and I had an excellent trip with Captain Ryan. We spent 5 hours fishing the flats around Key Largo. The time flew by because we were constantly catching fish!! Snook, snapper, Jack! Captain Ryan finds fish for you and all you have to do is cast in the direction he is pointing! At the end of the trip, he cleaned and bagged the fish for us. My son and I had great time thanks to the skills and experience of Captain Ryan. I definitely recommend this charter. Five stars!!
We can't control the weather, but can deal with it positively....Capt Ryan worked to deal with and still put us on the fish. He understands the area and how to flow with the patterns to make the trip work.
