    Fishing with Captain Mike

    Half Day Trip on April 18, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    Captain Mike was great he made the ppl in my group that were new to being on a boat feel safe n comfortable. We had a good day on the water even though more bites n catches would have been good but thats fishing for u. We saw several dolphins n jelly fish which was cool. Captain Mike was very knowledgeable and fun to be around n I would recommend booking a fishing trip on his boat.

    We caught a ton of Fish

    Half Day Trip on August 16, 2025 • 3 adults

    Captain Mike got us on some fish! I booked thia charter with my buddy and his son (my Godson). Boat was very clean and ran well. Plenty of room for us. Good rods and plenty of live bait. The Captain was super knowledgable and new all the good spots. We caught a ton of re drum and kept our limit. Caught some monster flounder as well but they were not in season. Also caught some black drum. We kept the red drum and Captain Mike cleaned them for us. We cooked them that night and it was delicious. Highly recommend this charter.

    We cought 3 days worth of dinners

    Half Day Trip on June 23, 2025 • 3 adults

    We were looking for a nice day on the water, without rough waters, but still wanted to catch some clean and delicious fish. This was the perfect trip - the captain knew where to go and we got 3 days worth of dinner of red fish. The mornings are the best - we went out a little before 7 am, also to beat the heat. If you want a nice, no stress, calm fishing trip, this is it!

great experience!
Half Day Trip on February 21, 2026 • 2 adults

Firstly, Captain Mike was absolutely amazing! When a crazy snowstorm rolled in, he was so great about working with us to reschedule and made the whole process easy and stress-free. He’s incredibly personable, super knowledgeable, and made the entire trip such a fun experience. He obviously loves what he does! It was an unforgettable day, and we’ll definitely be back this summer. Captain Mike is the man!
