It was an overall excellent and very enjoyable trip. The crew was knowledgeable and professional. The boat was clean, and having a a/c and onboard bathroom was nice too. We easily caught our limit of trigger fish and had several vermillion snapper to go along with them. Every spot we went to everyone was catching fish. All 6 of us enjoyed our time, especially the 4 whose first time it was offshore fishing. Those four might even be a bit spoiled by the amount of fun and fish they caught. I recommend Sure Shot if you’re looking to have a good time guaranteed catching fish with your friends.

Capt Mike and Wayne are excellent at what they do.  Fishing with these guys will be a routine part of our family’s vacation from now on.  This was our first trip out and they took the time to explain what we were doing, the equipment, boat safety, etc.  When it was time to fish Capt Mike knows the waters and the fish and put us on them.  Wayne is full of fishing knowledge and energy.  He kept our lines baited and in the water, explained what he was doing and why, and every time we hooked one he was right there to assist if needed.  Our son is 9 and both of these guys are great with kids. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.  We will be back without a doubt.  We had a blast thanks to Sure Shot and crew!  Thank you guys for creating memories of a lifetime.

Captain Mike and his first mate Wayne were simply awesome for our first family experience of deepsea fishing.  The waters were a little rough at first getting out past the shallows due to some weather the previous day, but Wayne was great to encourage our nervous 12-year-old, who wanted to turn back, to hang in there.  In just a short time Wayne had our son pulling in red snapper, king marlin and Spanish marlin and having a great time.  Captain Mike kept the boat over the fish, so we could reel them in and get our limit.  We would highly recommend Sure Shot for a great family experience.

Captain Mike and his deckhand, Wayne, are first class! Unfortunately, bad weather cut our trip short, but Captain Mike did EVERYTHING he could to make our trip happen including swapping days to try and make this graduation trip happen for my daughter…. and all the kids caught some nice King Mackerel and some Tuna before the weather got us too!....Captain Mike is a great Captain and more importantly, even a better person. Thanks again Captain Mike, and we can’t wait to go with you and your crew again!

The crew was really great. The fishing wasn’t so good but that wasn’t anything to do with them. The water was pretty choppy so we didn’t feel great and the wind was strong enough that going offshore probably wouldn’t have been a good idea. For context we went a month prior out of Hopedale, Louisiana and caught about 200 speckled trout in 4 hours. We caught three king mackerel and two Spanish mackerel trolling about 500 yards off the beach for about 4 hours. Caught the fish in the first two hours. The plan was to go offshore and bottom fish but I had my four kids with me and they weren’t feeling great so I decided to cut it short. This is the very nature of fishing. Sometimes you strike gold and other times it’s mediocre. I’m just grateful that we did not leave empty-handed and looking forward to some great fish tacos tonight.
