Great. Captain! Made great calls all day!!
Half Day Trip (AM) on July 3, 2025 • 3 adults
The weather was really iffy. It looked like it was gonna rain all day with thunderstorms. We told the captain we would rely on him and his experience and as long as he kept us safe, we didn’t care if we got wet.
We did get wet to start with, but then the rain went away. We were catching fish while it was wet sea trout primarily, but caught a couple of nice Spanish mackerel. We got a catfish a couple of ladyfish a couple of small hammerhead looking sharks.
It was a great day. The captain and his boat and equipment were wonderful. Would highly recommend him.

Great Day on the Water with Captain Tony
5 Hour Trip on December 29, 2024 • 2 adults • 1 child
We recently went on a fishing trip with Captain Tony, and it was a fantastic experience overall. The captain was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure we stayed on the fish all day long. We had plenty of bites, which kept the action exciting, though not too many of them turned out to be keepers.
Even so, the thrill of the chase and the joy of reeling in fish made for an enjoyable time. Captain Tony's expertise in finding spots with lots of activity was evident, and he worked hard to give us a great day on the water.
While the keeper count wasn't high, the trip was still worth it for the fun, the laughs, and the chance to be out on the water. If you're looking for a skilled and dedicated guide, Captain Tony is a great choice!

Great fishing with a great Captain!!
3 Hour Mid Day Trip on March 12, 2025 • 1 adult • 2 children
On a recent (Mar 2024) chartered nearshore fishing trip with Capt. Tony Franklin, the three of us (including two ten year old boys) caught numerous fish of several different types. Capt. Franklin put us on fish within 2 mins. of the first cast and kept us on the fish until our very last cast of the day!! Capt. Franklin is a super capable fishing guide and a pleasure to interact with during the trip! Book a trip with Captaincies. Franklin and you will not be disappointed or sit idle waiting for bites. Truly a wonderfully memorable trip!!! Highly, highly recommended!!

6 hour morning charter on November 7, 2025 • 3 adults
Captain Tony put us on fish right away. He worked diligently to replace lost line/hooks to Spanish Mackerel and tried to get us on other species of fish after we tired of catching the mackerel. Excellent, friendly captain! I recommend him to all!!

Amazing day with Captain Tony
3 Hour Trip (AM) on January 1, 2025 • 4 adults
Captain Tony gave my family and me an unforgettable fishing charter experience!
He was incredible-knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everything on board was perfectly set up. All the lines were rigged and ready, and he even took the time to show us his favorite fishing spots, which was such a fun and personal touch. We had a fantastic time and can't recommend Captain Tony enough. Perfect for anyone looking for an awesome day on the water!
