Your Captains Paul, Bruce and Gary aim to tailor every trip to your specific needs, so let them know what you’re after!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM)
Great Time Had By All
Our 4th time back with Michael D Sport Fishing Charters and once again had a great time. Despite scheduling around the weather we all had a great time trolling and better yet catching a number of keepers. The crew is first class and makes our annual trip a highlight of our vacation time. We will be back next year!

Wonderful experience!
I would highly recommend Michael D Sportsfishing! We had a group of 10, consisting of 7 children and 3 adults. We caught lots of fish (3 different species). The crew was super friendly and very welcoming! I would definitely book with them again!

Fantastic trip
A pleasurable experience all around. My son, his friend and I all had a blast catching sea bass and blues. Captains Gary and Paul were both cool, laid back, very experienced and consummate professionals, offering great guidance for us Infrequent fishermen without ever being overbearing. These are two guys that clearly work very well together. The boat was clean, large and comfortable but set up to do some serious business for much bigger trips for much bigger fish as well. I will definitely book the Michael D and crew next time in the area.

Best Charter Ever
The trip was awesome. Not only was the crew super friendly they also know what they are doing. They taught some first timers what to do fast and efficiently, and where fast to assist with hooking bait and hooking fish so everyone was able to have a great experience. They knew some awesome spots as well. We must have hooked at least 80 between 5 people plus fish in four hours, 31 of which were legal size that we got to take home with us. Highly recommended and our first choice for a charter going forward.

Perfect Trip
Gary and his crew could not be more accommodating. We had 7 people of varying interest levels in fishing, and all enjoyed their time. They made sure everyone was put in the best spot to catch fish, use the correct technique, and have fun! I will most certainly be booking with Michael D Sport Fishing again next year!
