Precision Backcountry Charters 

I booked this charter for my fiancé’s birthday and he specifically wanted to do inshore fishing. Mike was extremely knowledgeable and proactive, if we weren’t catching, he was willing to move until we found a honey hole. Caught a lot of trout, two jack fish, two snook, and a couple of small fish. We caught a big enough trout to take home with us and Mike filleted it for us. Highly recommend going with Mike, thank you so much for the awesome day on the water, we’ll be back!

Myself, my husband, and my adult son all took a charter for 2 hours with Mike. It was a wonderful experience and we had a great time! First of all, although we were initially slated to arrive on time, because of last-minute traffic in the area, we ended up being late. Mike was very cool and understanding about that. He immediately got us out into the water where we started catching fish. He took care of everything we needed, baiting the hooks, casting, and giving tips to help us fish on our own. He would relocate the boat if it seemed like an area was going cold. It was obvious his main goal was to get us to pull some fish in the boat! He also was very interesting to talk to, and interacted with us the whole time. Honestly, I could not have asked for a better day for the few hours that we had out on the water. I wish it could’ve been longer! We had a wonderful time, caught plenty of fish, and thoroughly enjoyed our time on the boat! Highly highly recommend Mike, he is fantastic!

Great day. weather a little iffy but turned out awesome. Capt Mike kept on top of the fish all day. Snook and Trout Even caught back to back Monster Trout in one area. Flounder Jack Ladyfish. my nephew hooked a tarpon for a brief moment. Saw some dolphins rays and a couple of bonnet heads. We would do it all over again. Captain mike is super knowledgeable and friendly and keeps em coming.

Had a great time out cought snook,redfish, trout and few others! The captain was nice and made sure we had fish to take home. When i come back down to st petersburg i will for sure be giving hime a call again!

I cannot say enough good things about our trip. We were catching nice fish all day, kids had a blast, boat was very nice and Mike is a great guy. I was ready to go back out the second we finished and i cannot wait to return. If your on the fence or unsure of going, book with precision backcountry and you wolnt regret it.

we tried to make this trip a couple years ago but unfortunately didnt work out because of weather and Capt Mike didnt want my son’s first trip to be ruined with wind. finally had a chance to redo today and it did not dissapoint. Capt Mike was fantastic, got us on fish as soon as we got out and helped make this an incredible first trip for my 8 yo. would highly recommend and will be rebooking when back in town.

Captain Mike made this a great experience for our 12 year old. He caught some of the biggest fish he has ever caught in one area. Then we moved to another area and my boy and husband caught so many fish that we ate it for dinner. Captain Mike cleaned all that fish for us. I would recommend Captain Mike to others he is knowledgeable and patient. Thank you for a great afternoon Captain Mike!

Captain Michael (Mike) Ikemeier turned a fairly windy day into a good fishing day. Mike texted or called regularly days leading up to & on charter day. Picked us up on schedule. Friendly & informative throughout the afternoon. Redfish, trout, grunt. Mike put us on sheepshead but us two landlubbers let ‘em off. I’ll definitely book again with Cap’n Mike.

Another great time fishing with Capt Mike! My family has fished with Mike 4 years in a row and he never disappoints. He’s very helpful and patient and always finds fish.

Mike took us to a couple great spots. Our kids had never gone saltwater fishing. They caught a ton of fish and had an amazing time. l was worried 2 hours wouldn’t be enough but it was perfect for our 6 year old. Our 8 yo could have gone on a 4 hour trip. Mike taylored the trip perfectly for kids. Highly recommend.
