Wonderful experience with Captain Tony
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on September 30, 2026 • 3 adults

we had an absolutely amazing experience fishing with captain Tony. From the begining he told us exactly what to expect, what fish we could potentially catch, and how the day would go—and he was spot on! We ended up catching all the different fish he told hs we might have the chance at. Captain Tony clearly knows the area, knows how to fish, and made the entire experience so much fun. Nothing short of an amazing trip. If youre looking for a fishing charter, I highly reccomend Captain Tony! we’ll definitely be back

Captain Anthony was awesome!
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on December 27, 2025 • 2 adults

My son and I went out for a 4-hour near shore fishing trip a with Captain Anthony, and we truly couldn’t have had a better time! He was awesome at explaining everything so we were all on the same page, worked incredibly hard getting us on fish the whole trip, our hooks re-baited, and fish coming in over the rail, sometimes as we could drop new bait down, we often had “Fish On” almost indelicately after lowering our lines! We caught more than we could keep, including Grunts, Hog Fish (delicious to eat!), Red Fish, and a few other more exotic species too! Great time, Great Captain, Great Boat and Great, excellent time out on the water and we’ve had a few awesome meals from the fish we caught! I definitely would book with Captain Anthony and So Salty Fishing the next time we go out!

Great local captain with lots of experience
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on March 22, 2026 • 2 adults

We had an awesome day fishing with Anthony. He really knows exactly where to go to put you on fish — we were catching all day. We ended up staying out way longer than planned because he was more focused on making sure we had a great experience than watching the clock. That says everything. We caught a great mix too — king mackerel, grouper, and some huge sheepshead. Just an all-around fun, successful trip. If you’re thinking about booking a charter, don’t hesitate — I’ll definitely be going out with Anthony again.

4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on September 11, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

Captain Anthony gave our family an unforgettable experience! He was professional, knowledgeable, and great with the kids, who were hoping to catch a “monster.” He made our last day in Florida one to remember. We highly recommend booking with him and would absolutely fish with him again. Thank you, Captain Anthony!

Kids trip Afternoon READ DESCRIPTIO on July 30, 2026 • 1 adult • 2 children

Anthony had us immediately on fish right out of the gate. We were catching red fish and snook and then got a chance to fish for trout. They didn’t stop biting! We caught Jack, trout, and others. My boys haven’t stopped talking about it. Anthony truly cares and made sure it was a memorable trip for the kids. Thank you!!
