⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Family Fishing Trip!
Half Day Trip (AM)4(pl) max. on August 28, 20262 adults2 children

We had an awesome experience with Sounds Good Fishing Charter! We went out as a family with our 12- and 10-year-olds and had a blast trolling for Spanish mackerel. We caught plenty of fish and the kids had a great time. After that, we headed inshore and were able to hook into a red drum, which was a great way to finish the trip. Captain Mike was fantastic—personable, patient, knowledgeable, and especially good with the kids. He made sure everyone was involved and having fun throughout the trip. If you’re looking for a family-friendly fishing charter and want to put some fish in the boat, I’d definitely recommend Sounds Good Fishing Charter. We’ll absolutely go out with Captain Mike again!

Target species acquired!
Half Day Trip (AM)4(pl) max. on August 12, 20262 adults

I took my step grandson for his first fishing trip in the sound. We fished with cut bait without success. We then switched to popping corks with soft plastics. My step grandson toyed with one fish for about 10 minutes before it took the bait. We were using light tackle and a great fight ensued resulting in netting a 17” speckled trout. We caught other fish as well, but this one catch made the day! Captain Mike is a great guide for teaching young anglers how to fish. I will be fishing with him again!

Great capt, great day of fishing
Half Day Trip (AM)4(pl) max. on September 29, 20253 adults

we booked our trip shortly before a storm was on its way in, capt mike called me and gave me the option to cancel my charter because they didnt have much luck the day before, and the weather was making conditions worse. we decided to still go out, we limited out on trout, mike knew where to take us to have a good chance on a bad day and we struck gold. Awesome dude, get out there and fish with Mike!!

We had a great time with Captain Mike. We caught our bait and moved to catch a big trout, a skater, and a crab. Many bites and he was fun to talk to and knowledgeable. Will go back to him next time we are here.
