Quick trip for a fun time
2 Hour Trip (PM) on June 20, 2025
My fiancee and wanted a quick fishing outing and she was new to fishing. Captain Gill was great to work with and put us on to some mango snappers which was a perfect first catch for her. He was patient and helpful. We would love to go again.

Fantastic! Great day in the water!
Half Day Trip (PM) on May 30, 2025
Wanted to take my son-in-law (visiting from West Virginia) out to experience some inshore saltwater fishing. Captain Gills did a great job finding a bunch of snapper, nice snook and a very nice redfish. It wasn’t the best weather or tide to catch fish, but he found them for us under less than ideal conditions. Definitely recommend Capt Gills and won’t hesitate to book with him again.

Great Last Minute Trip
2 Hour Trip (Noon) on March 3, 2025
Capt. Gill was friendly and knowledgeable, and I had a great, last minute 2 hour trip before heading for the airport to travel home. We had many bites, brought a bunch of snappers over the rail and caught a lady fish. We had plenty of laughs sharing our stories, and Capt. Gill seems to be an expert in these waters. I can't wait to come back down and book another trip!

With my charters, I strive to not only catch big fish and lots of them but to also show the beautiful and rich nature my hometown has to offer. I want to make a unique and nature-filled experience for my clients to remember and give them the Florida experience that I’ve had since I was a kid.
