Nick is a fishing machine. A true gunslinger of these local waters that he has always called home. A local legend. My two kids and I had an epic 4 hour fishing trip with Nick connecting on a little bit of everything. As a fisherman myself, I know these days are not guaranteed so when booking understand its fishing and there are a ton of factors that play into fishing this area. The cool thing about nick, is he is willing to adjust based on what he is seeing. He’s a passionate fisherman himself and will work just as hard to get you on fish as if he were fishing by himself or with family and friends. If you’re in the Clearwater area and looking to fish these waters, make sure to give Nick a call!!
thank you!
started off as a kids fish but Nick was prepared for anything. he made sure the kids felt attended to and caught fish immediately. we went to catch some other species but nick spotted a goliath grouper and because he came prepared for anything we were able to pivot and catch it. after a long fight we landed it. kids had a blast and an ever lasting memory. nick was great with the kids and you could tell he had a ton of passion for his job. really nice boat and reliable equipment.
thank you! great trip
This was a first time experience for me and my boys and we had such a great time! The weather was perfect, Captain Nick was awesome and the fishing was great considering the heat! We will definitely be back later in the year!
Captain Nick was very knowledgeable and very dedicated to making sure we had a great first time fishing experience in Florida. We caught grouper, red fish and even tried to catch tarpon. It was fun! We can’t wait to come back again.
Unfortunately a cold front gad hit but Nick was flexible and honest and changed it to another day! He made sure we caught fish! He was patient with our 3 kids and made sure we all had a great time! His knowledge of the area was very helpful. He gave us a great recommendation on where to take the fish we caught to be cooked for us. Will definitely book with Nick again!
thank you!!
