awesome captain, awesome trip
3 Hour Fishing on March 11, 20263 adults

Capt Angelo was great. My brother and I took my Dad out for a 3hr trip. My dad has some mobility and balance issues, and Capt Angelo helped make him comfortable. We were getting fish as soon as we hit the water. We caught plenty of Trout and a bunch of beautiful Redfish. Filled our cooler, and our bellies that night! Great boat, top of the line set up. My brother and are locals, that have since left the state for work. “live like a local” is a perfect name for his company, as we fished several of our old stomping grounds. Only regret is that we didn’t book a longer trip. Fully plan on working with Capt Angelo the next time we come home.

Captain Angelo was on the spot!
2 Hour Fishing - 10:00 AM on March 4, 20262 adults

Captain Angelo is a reel expert! His knowledge of the fishing spots is top notch. Seemed like every time we threw the line out into the water, we were hooked up. At one point we couldn’t keep up, all lines had fish on! And he was very gracious with his time. We were visiting from the Midwest for my sons college baseball tournament and decided to go fishing on his off day. It couldn’t have gone better. Swapped fishing and baseball stories with the Captain, along with learning alot from him about fishing the waters here. Thanks again, we will be sure to be back!

Reelly great time
3 Hour Fishing on July 1, 20261 adult1 child

Had a fantastic 3hr outing with my son. Captain Angelo and his mate Justin were fantastic. With just 3 hours to beat the heat, they kept us moving until we found the fish. We pulled in a lot of big trout which thrilled my son and then redfish on the way back. Angelo was fantastic with son, helping him with his technique. We will certainly rebook when back in the area. Thank you.

Great Trip!
3 Hour Fishing on June 27, 20262 adults2 children

Captain Angelo was great, good with the kids. I had messaged him beforehand, as we had been fishing in the Naples and Tampa area the last couple of years, and my son finally wanted to catch a bigger fish. We caught some smaller fish in the beginning, then we hit some snook and red fish, and my son caught a two-foot, 12-pound red fish that made the whole trip worth it. Captain Angelo was very accommodating. I would highly recommend.

Second time out with Captain Angelo. Another awesome experience. He is patient and knowledgeable. After a recent hip replacement surgery he was very conscious of my abilities. He also never wearied of my questions on why and hows of fishing I look forward to the next time to fishing with him Thank you Captain Angelo!
