    Great trip

    Half Day Trip on March 26, 2026 • 3 adults

    Three of us went out and all of us caught fish. We kept seven legal sea trout, then we hooked into a 5 foot black tip shark and all three of us had a turn reeling it in to the boat. It was really cool.

    Captain John Reid Knows How to Find and Catch Fish

    Half Day Trip - 12:00 PM on March 12, 2024 • 2 adults

    My wife and I had a great time fishing with Captain John Reid. He knew where the good fish were, and was able to get us to catch them. I didn't expect to catch as many quality fish (Snook, Red Snapper, Sea Trout, etc.) as we did in a four hour trip. Especially for two mid-westerners unfamiliar with this type of fishing. I've fished with several guides over the years, and he hands down the best! Thank You John for a great time we'll never forget!

    Captain John

    Half Day Trip on June 27, 2023 • 4 adults

    My family and I booked a trip with Captain John and we had a great time. He made sure we all had fun, caught fish, and when the fish wasn’t biting he moved to a new area and didn’t waste time just waiting for them to bite. He is a great guy and makes you feel welcome. I highly recommend going and booking with Captain John. We will go again for sure.

    John did a great job for us, conditions were challenging. If nothing hit we moved on. Rolled in on some hot spots and hit every cast. We had a great time. 10/10 would recommend.

    Fishing with John

    Half Day Trip on August 12, 2022 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Phenomenal!!! I’ve booked charters before and you never know what you’re going to get with your guide/Captain. Took my 12 year old son who wanted to catch some fish. John took us to multiple spots and we caught fish each time. From beautiful reds to an outstanding grouper. Exceeded every expectation. John was outgoing, friendly and very knowledgeable. Will definitely be back. Thanks John!!

    Half Day Trip with Captain John

    Half Day Trip - 12:00 PM on April 19, 2022 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Fantastic day on the water with Captain John! While the wind picked up, he did everything possible to make sure us and our boys (17 and 12) had a great time. Everyone caught multiple fish, and we saw manatees, dolphins, and even a shark on our trip - Will definitely be booking again!!

    Half day trip with Captain Mike

    Half Day Trip on December 27, 2022 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had some decent action fishing around the docks of Cayo Costa and North Captiva. Fishing could have been better but took enough home for a meal. Captain was personable and seemed to to know the waters quite well. The experience was worth the money.

Great time
Half Day Trip on March 11, 2026 • 3 adults

Capt. John did an excellent job making us feel comfortable and confident that we were going to have a great fishing experience, and we did! He took the time to teach a beginner in our party how to fish and he subsequently caught a bunch of fish. Capt John’s demeanor and skills worked extremely well with our group. His boat and equipment were top notched. I highly recommend Capt. John.
