July fishing trip

VERIFIED

3 Hour Trip (AM) on July 16, 2025

We had a great trip, our Captain was very knowledgeable and friendly. We didn't catch any keepers, only a few catfish and stingrays. The weather wasn't bad, we had a tropical depression nearby and the fish just weren't biting. Our Captain worked really hard to put us on the fish it just wasn't the right day. I would highly recommend Captain Kyler .

2 Hour Trip – Kids (AM) on June 4, 2025

Four of us went out on the water with Captain Kyler for 2 hours. We caught a lot of fish (primarily catfish) and had a blast. Captain Kyler was very helpful and a genuinely nice guy to chat with. I highly recommend!

4 Hour Trip (PM) on March 21, 2024

Outstanding day of catching! Within minutes we were reeling in some nice Redfish. Thoroughout the day there was very little down time without some action. Captain Kyler’s knowledge of the water, professional manner, great sense of humor and individual assistance all contributed to a successful four hour fishing experience. Highly recommended .

Amazing day of fishing

on April 16, 2022

The day started bright and early, Captain Kyler was there to pick us up. It was amazing day full of fun and laughter. Myself can be described as a unexperienced angler. I was shy and nervous but Kyler what is there to help. Not only did we catch fish he explained how to rig my bait and also explained how to tie a knot. Not only did we end up catching a few fish we had an wonderful time doing it.I learned so much and made a new friend. A few things I Learned from this experience was no matter how experience or new you are fishing Kyler provides the best atmosphere to be in I will 100% book another trip with captain Clark.

Kid Friendly 2 Hr Trip

VERIFIED

2 Hour Trip – Kids (AM) on June 22, 2023

Our family had the best 2 hours on the bay. Capt Kyker was a gentlemen and new the exact spots to fish. We pulled in 5 different fish species, including a stingray. Capt Kyler was patient and took care of all the setup so our family of 5 could just relax and reel in our catch. If we come back to fish, we are definitely calling Capt Kyler. Thank you for the best fishing experience we have had as a family.
