Great Fishing Trip
4 Hour Trip (PM) on March 30, 2025
My 7-year old son and I went out for a half day trip. The trip was great! We tried a number of different spots and were regularly catching fish. The captain did a great job helping us keep lines baited and in the water. We caught multiple species, including a couple fish to take home and a beautiful tarpon. Overall a great experience and would highly recommend.

Fishing with Captain Nick
6 Hour Trip – Inshore on April 15, 2025
Six hour fishing trip went very well. Captain Nick was very personable, informative and outgoing. We caught trout, snook, jack, and snapper. Captain Nick was happy to answer all of our questions. We had a great time and will book with him again when we are in the area. I would recommend anyone looking for a charter book with Captain Nick.

EPIC FISHING TRIP!
4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 25, 2024
We had the best day and caught so many fish. Captain Nick was kind, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time and worked incredibly hard to ensure that we had a great experience. He paid close attention to us and met our needs immediately baiting hooks and putting us on fish. Captain Nick was encouraging, and it was apparent that he truly took pride in seeing us catch fish. We look forward to seeing Captain Nick again when we are in town!

4 Hour Trip (AM) on February 21, 2025
Nick was great to fish with. He called a few hours before the pickup time and gave us the option of rebooking another day because of weather and water conditions. We decided to go anyway and he still managed to get us on some decent fishing Will definitely fish with him again

2nd Trip with Nick
Half Day Tarpon Fishing on April 1, 2025
We took a charter with Nick last summer and we had such a great time we booked the same charter this spring. Nick is great to fish with and knows exactly where to go to catch fish. We enjoyed a really nice dinner of fresh fish after both Charters.
