    Had a Blast!

    Inshore Fishing – 4 Hour Trip on April 18, 2026 • 2 adults

    Bought a charter trip for my wife for chriztmas after she had been asking for a couple years, and we both had a great time. Caught about 20 or so fish, with some definitely giving us a run for our money! Captain Phil was great, answered all our questions, had great insights about the fish, and was fun just to vibe with. Great experience would definitely recommend!

    Great Morning Slaying Snook

    Inshore Fishing – 4 Hour Trip on October 29, 2025 • 2 adults

    Zach had the boat at the ramp loaded up and ready to go when we arrived. Short run and he had us on fish on the second cast. my wife was able to catch a snook of a lifetime for her and we boated plenty of fish throughout the morning. Beautiful weather made for a relaxing morning on the water. Zach was very knowledgeable, professional and fun to fish with. We had a great time.

    Friendly, Knowledgeable and Helpful

    Inshore Sportsman- 8 Hour Trip (AM) on February 6, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Zack was awesome, you could easily tell he really knows the area and he did a fantastic job getting us on fish and keeping us moving as needed to keep us catching fish. We limited out and he had his work cut out for him fileting all those fish.

    Huge thanks to Captain Zach, even though we had to end the trip an hour early due to weather, we were still able to make the most out of it, and we ended up taking home 4 fish. We appreciate Captain Zach, and we definitely recommend booking with him.

just a great day
Inshore Sportsman- 8 Hour Trip (AM) on December 16, 2025 • 2 adults

even though the day was calling for some wind, Captain Zack was able to take us to a spot that was well sheltered that we can touch some fish as the day we went on he brought us to more spots where we were able to catch more and more fish Captain Zack was able to point To Us and tell us exactly where to cast and we would be catching some good fish. Definitely recommend this trip and I’ll be doing it again next time I’m in Tampa Florida thank you Captain Zack.
