    Tony was exceptional!

    2 Hour Trip on April 15, 2026 • 2 adults

    we caught Snook and trout! First cast out I caught a 31” Snook!! We were hoping for trout and got plenty. I would hire him again in a heart beat! If tge fish weren’t biting in one pkave, he moved to another place. He was a gentleman as we are two lady anglers. He earned every cent and then some. He was very attentative to making sure our bait was still alive and viable. He wasn’t at all invasive. pne of us is a seasoned angler and he knew if our organization and is a supporter. Don’t hesitate to contract with tjis company. 🐟🐟

    Great private fishing trip!

    2 Hour Trip on July 9, 2026 • 3 adults

    Our captain, Greg, was awesome. He was very informative, knowledgeable and experienced. He knew all the good spots on Little Sarasota Bay. Three of us caught a dozen fish in 2 hours. Snook, Redfish, and others. Greg cleaned and filleted for us the ones we kept. I would definitely recommend it to those looking for a private short fishing trip!

    4 Hour Trip (8 AM) on May 13, 2026 • 2 adults

    Another special day and experience with TNT! Captain Tony has consistently put us on fish for many years. Great person with incredible integrity. Vast knowledge of local species and consistently respects the fishing environment. Highly recommend him as the number one charter in Sarasota.

    Half day morning trip

    4 Hour Trip (8 AM) on March 11, 2026 • 2 adults

    Tony was an incredible guide for our half day morning trip, searching for some sheepshead and snapper. We caught a whole bunch of those, which later made for some excellent fish tacos. We also caught a couple snooks, and stopped and caught some shiner to use for bait using some chum and net which was really cool to see. I highly recommend Tony for anyone in search of guide in Siesta Key. We'd be happy to use him again the next time we come here.

    Great Boat Captain

    4 Hour Trip (2:30 PM) on March 2, 2026 • 2 adults

    CaptainTony gave us excellent service. He put us on the groceries...keeper fish, he was very helpful for my wife so i could focus on fishing, he took the time to explain best fishing techniques, and he did his best to put us on the bigger species later in the evening. it was engaging, safe, fun and fruitful. We highly recommend Captain Tony.

We had a great time with Captain Greg, we had a 9 year old who can be impatient and if we weren't on fish he adjusted quickly and found them for us.
