6 Hour Trip – Nearshore/Offshore on March 28, 20262 adults1 child

today we had the pleasure of going fishing with Capt. paul, and what an experience it turned out to be, we have used other charters in the past and nothing comes close to what this man dose to put you on fish, even when the fishing is tough with bad winds and current he is knowledgeable enough to find spots to put you on fish and with hopes of latching onto a Goliath he tried everything possible to catch one up, we walked away with enough fish to eat for a long time and I don't know if I would of been happier even landing a Goliath, his first mate Steve did an incredible job helping my 10yr old son who ended up catching most of the fish, just an incredible experience 12/10 recomend

Great Memories!
6 Hour Trip – Nearshore/Offshore on July 8, 20262 adults

Had an awesome day, 10-miles out in the Gulf (near Manasota Key, FL) today! Caught our limit of Mangrove Snapper in the first hour, then onto some Almaco Jack, Spanish Mackerel, Lane Snapper, Key West Grunts, and two nice Goliath Groupers (25 and 35 lbs; catch and release). Such good times! Captain Paul was an EXCELLENT host and really made the day special. He was knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, patient, and you could easily tell he was having a great time also. My wife and I had the best day ever!

I grew up in PA near the Great Lakes. I have had a passion for fishing since my childhood when my dad used to take my brothers and me. I was an educator for 25 years and promoted fishing through clubs at the school where I taught, educating others on fishing comes naturally to me. Tournament fished for Muskies and Walleye up north and also targeted other species including Salmon, Steelhead, Perch, Bass, Pike, Trout, and more. Being involved with the fishing industry from my early twenties, I have made many connections through my own lure manufacturing business of 15 years. My passion for fishing ultimately brought me here to Englewood, FL where I reside today and have been guiding since 2015. The saltwater diversity intrigues me to the point of never getting enough! The mystery of never knowing what you might catch drives me every day and the client memories that come along with each and every catch are priceless.
