Capt. Kyle was great. He showed my wife and I around the waters of Siesta Key and Sarasota while giving us some history of the area. He’s a 3rd generation native and his knowledge of the waters was evident as our lines stayed busy all morning. We’ll be booking him again next time we’re in the area.
I highly recommend Captain Kyle we caught over 20 fish and it was our first fishing charter! My son killed it and is still talking about it! Captain Kyle made sure we caught fish! If you're looking for a great charter lucky 13 is it!! Thanks Captain Kyle the Ballman family really had a great time!
I've been fishing in shore here for a few years and consider myself a pretty accomplished angler but my biggest goal and challenge has been chasing tarpon. I just haven't been able to get it, and not for lack of trying. Captain Kyle has a reputation when it comes to connecting with the silver kings so I joined him for a half day and man am I glad I did! We hooked up with multiple tarpon giving me the most exhilarating fight I've ever had on the other end of a fishing rod. Kyle is extremely knowledgable and keeps his equipment in meticulous order and quality. His boat is incredible clean and comfortable and he knows these waters and fish like the back of his hand. I seriously can't say enough about him having gone out a few times on his fishing trips. You find a better host, guide or captain for a Sarasota fishing adventure.
Man, I really appreciate the review! Glad to know the little things like keeping the gear running top notch and the boat clean are noticed, thank you.
Kyle is wonderful! He made us feel at ease and safe while also ensuring that we had a good time. He was also excellent at communicating before the trip. We caught a lot of fish and were quite happy with our trip. No issues; certainly recommend!
Kyle was super friendly and knowledgeable and put us on fish very quickly.
Thanks Dawson!
