Booked a 3 hr evening shark trip but Capt Nolan called and told me a cold front had moved through before I arrived and asked if I’d be okay with changing to a 4hr trip to target grouper and mangrove snapper. I told him I’d be fine with that so we set out earlier than initially planned. Capt Nolan was very welcoming and explained exactly what we were going to do. When we arrived at the first location, he immediately got me set up for some big grouper. In an attempt to give me the experience I had hoped for, he also got a shark line out. The grouper didn’t want to play so after catching a few snapper, we moved on. Capt Nolan got me on lots of Mangrove snapper, had a couple big grouper break us off, what is believed to be a large barracuda bite through the line, and Capt Nolan delivered on the shark too, despite conditions being less than favorable. Ended up catching 2 Lemon Sharks and Capt Nolan risked a bite to ensure I had plenty of picture opportunities. Overall, excellent trip with an excellent captain. Thank you Capt Nolan!

Had a great day fishing with my son and Captain Nolan in the back country.  He listened to the experience we were looking for with our fishing trip and gave us a great experience.

The bite was off a bit following a full moon but we caught a lot of fish and then went after some bigger fish like Tarpon, grouper and barracuda. He put us right on the fishbiy they just weren’t biting.

Overall a great day on the water and Nolan was really fun to fish with. He works hard and makes every very easy and relaxing. Great demeanor for a guide. I highly recommend Nolan and 4reel Charters. We plan on coming back for another trip soon!

Captain Nolan has us on fish within 30 minutes and constant for the next 3+ hours of our half day trip. He would have had us fishing a bit sooner with calmer water, approx 2’ choppy water. You don’t notice it being a bit rough when your catching lots of fish though! My 14 yr old Grandson and I are not very experienced fishermen & Capt. Nolan was very patient, kind and and helpful with us, teaching us to land plenty of fish with quite a few tips, tricks and how to’s for our future fishing. We highly recommend 4 Reel and particularly to request Capt. Nolan to get you on the fish. We had an absolute great time.

If you want to catch your bucket list fish, do it with Capt.Nolan and 4 Reel fishing. Very knowledgeable of the area and water. And once you hook up skillful on the controls. I landed a estimated 80 lb tarpon. It wouldn’t have been possible without his boat skills. Also caught a 300lb nurse shark. You definitely made it a trip of a lifetime. So if you’re coming down to the Keys make sure you look up 4 real fishing.

Excellent day on the water! We did the Islamorada trip with Captain Nolan.  We caught multiple fish. Nolan was able to filet the fish for us, and even recommend nearby restaurants for us to take the fish to in order to be cooked for us. We were able to snorkel and still had plenty of time to hang out at the sandbar. An all around great day. Would highly recommend!
