4-Hour Fishing Late Afternoon Bite
We had the absolute best time with Captain Miguel! We originally booked a 4-hour trip but had to reschedule due to weather, and he was so patient with us throughout the whole process. Once we got on the water, everything was smooth and fun. Captain Miguel was incredibly patient with the kids and made sure everyone felt comfortable and involved. He created such a relaxed, family-friendly vibe that made the whole trip unforgettable. The boat was also really nice and clean, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for a great fishing trip with someone who knows what they’re doing and is great with families, definitely book with Captain Miguel.

4-Hour Fishing Late Afternoon Bite
We recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing tour with Captain Miguel, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment we stepped on the boat, it was clear he puts a lot of thought and care into every detail. The equipment was clean and well-maintained, the boat was spotless, and he had everything ready to ensure a smooth day on the water. What really stood out was his patience and attentiveness—especially with the kids. He made sure everyone, no matter their age or fishing experience, felt included and had a chance to enjoy the adventure. From helping the younger ones with their rods to encouraging the older guests and sharing tips, he worked hard the entire time to make sure everyone was having fun. It’s not easy to keep both kids and adults engaged for hours, but he pulled it off effortlessly. You could tell he genuinely wanted us to catch fish and have a memorable time, and that energy was contagious. If you’re looking for a fishing tour where attention to detail, kindness, and a true passion for what he does come together, this is it. Highly recommended Thank you Miguel

6-Hour Morning Bite
We had to change days because of the weather, but he accommodated us without any issues. While out on the water, he kept moving to different fishing spots so we could catch as many fish as possible. This captain will definitely find the fish, and you will not be disappointed. We caught many large fish, including a 31.5 speckled sea trout. We had a great day out on the water and highly recommend Captain Miguel.

4-Hour Morning Bite
Captain Miguel did a great job putting us on fish real quick. We caught a few 20” sea trout first thing that morning. We caught a several different species of fish this trip. Seat trout, sand trout, Spanish mackerel, catfish and lady fish. Couldn’t get the big reds to cooperate, but he put us on them. He was very personable and was great with my wife and kids. Always ready to rebait our hooks and get us back to fishing. Would definitely recommend and will be back to target some big snook and red fish!!

4-Hour Morning Bite
Just save yourselves the headache of sifting through hundreds of fishing charters & use Miguel. I looked through sooo many charters & chose Miguel based on experience and responsiveness. This translated incredibly to his ability to entertain and host my mom & I for several hours. Couldn’t even count how many fish we caught and he was so patient and willing to teach us the tricks of the trade. Would recommend him to everyone, both inexperienced and seasoned anglers. Can’t wait to use him again!!
