awesome !! a must do !
Half day afternoon trip on February 19, 2026 • 2 adults
Very experienced, personable ,hard working capt , whatever your preferred style of fishing Mike can deliver, I myself like the fast action hunt cast and move till ya find fish and he knows the area the hot spots to increase your odds for some action! his boat in my opinion is the perfect size very easy to land fish fling em right on the bow , stealthy like a bass boat . Ive fished with Capt Mike a couple x now im from Illinois often hunting smallmouth up north and this style blends right in with me, I’ve caught big Snook, Redfish , sheepshead , sea trout with Mike now catching fish is never guaranteed , weather , time of year, temperature and that has an effect on every guide but worst case scenario you’ll have good conversation, see some wildlife and gain some experience I highly recommend Capt Mike and Dragonfly and he is my go too and will be back again

Great trip!!! Thanks Mike!!
Half Day morning trip on June 19, 2026 • 2 adults
Captain Mike was great! Tarpon has always been on my bucket list and Mike made it happen for me!! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to fish down here. We caught Redfish, Jack, Snook, and Tarpon. He was very knowledgeable about the fish, and the history of the area! We plan on coming back and will definitely be contacting Mike for future trips.

Outstanding Trip!
Half Day morning trip on September 12, 2025 • 2 adults
Captain Mike Moran is an outstanding guide and person. He's a consummate professional and really works his tail off to put you on fish. Mike knows his trade well. He grew up fishing these waters and it shows. My wife Steph and I had an absolutely fantastic trip today and despite the tough conditions still managed to hook some really nice snook despite my crappy casting! Do yourself a favor and book a trip with Mike. He's a great guide with a beautiful skiff, and a tremendous personality. You'll be glad you did!

Mike always puts you on fish, even when the conditions aren't optimum. We caught red fish, sheepshead and trout. Lots of trout! Had a great time again. Mike has an extensive knowledge of the area. I always learn something new fishing with him. This was our second charter with Dragonfly and won't be the last.

Half Day morning trip on December 9, 2025 • 1 adult
You cannot do better than to book with Mike. On top of being a super kind and professional guide, he is a wealth of knowledge. On a cool, windy, gray day (challenging conditions), he put us on snook, redfish, sheepshead, and trout. In fact, we caught our limit of trout (he caught 3 keepers), which he graciously filleted for me. I cannot recommend Mike enough. It was a really fun day, and I will definitely book with him, again. Thank you, Mike! 😃🙌
