Captain Tony did an amazing job putting us on fish!  It was a very tough day fishing. We actually reserved 2 guides because we were entertaining a group of clients.  The other group caught 3 fish all day.  Tony was disappointed with the performance but given the wind conditions, water conditions, as well as the freeze earlier this year I couldn’t be happier!  Above all Tony made everyone feel special.  His hospitality and preparedness was definitely noticed. We discussed what would be the best options the day before and Tony had bait purchased and the boat ready ahead of schedule.  I can’t wait to bring my family to POC for a personal trip with Tony in the fall!

Captain Tony with Bent Pole Fishing Charters was amazing. It felt like we were fishing with family. We even brought our 4 and 9 year olds with us. He is great with kids, patient and reassuring. He is full of knowledge and obviously a seasoned fisherman. We learned a lot about gulf coast fishing and had a great time doing it. 
If you are looking for a safe, knowledgeable, southern hospitality fishing trip- Tony is your guy! Thank you Tony and we are looking forward to our next trip.  Also want to throw in that boat was gorgeous and well taken care of.

As an experienced couple of fisherman we have always done well on Reds but had a harder time finding specks; decided to start our weekend with charter requesting just to find trout.  Showed up Thursday afternoon and although warned it may be slow made it to the surf where we had not fished before and had an excellent day with Tony for both trout and a few reds too.  Captured this red where it had so many spots I had to take that picture!
Nice job Tony and much enjoyed the trip.  Thanks for teaching a few old dogs a new trick or two!

We knew the odds were not favorable for catching fish, but Captain Tony gave it his best.  Despite high pressure, low tides, full moon, little wind, and a bay system full of fresh rainfall runoff, Captain Tony spared no fuel and took us to at least 7 fishing spots with second tries at some.  The gear was top quality (e.g. braided line), and the boat was in top shape ... and a fun ride with a 300hp engine!  Live and dead bait was provided.  We will book again.

I wanted to take my two grandsons, (ages 9 and 7) on their first fishing trip to salt water so I booked with Captain Tony. Unfortunately, the fishing was very slow on the day we picked. But Captain Tony kept us moving and made the day exciting and interesting for us. We did bring home enough fish for dinner and both boys are ready to go again. The trip was exactly what I was looking for.
