VERY VERY ENJOYABLE
3 Hour Trip - 10:00 AM on June 19, 20261 adult

Captain Neal was absolutely fantastic! He was incredibly nice, super helpful, and his knowledge of the local waterways was truly impressive. Since I was out solo, it was just Neal and me, and we managed to catch a great haul between us. He'd expertly cast a few times to pinpoint where the fish were, then let me take over his spot. It's clear his goal is to get you hooked and reeling them in every few minutes, and he absolutely delivers! All in all, I had an absolute blast relaxing on the water. Oh, and you might even get the chance to spot some amazing wildlife during your trip with Neal – we saw dolphins and manatees, which was incredibly cool!

Best Trip Ever
3 Hour Trip - 10:00 AM on June 7, 20262 adults2 children

Took a fishing trip with my buddy and our two sons and it was an absolute blast from start to finish. The captain was awesome knowledgeable, patient with the kids, and kept the energy high all day. You could tell he genuinely loves what he does. The fishing was on point. We pulled in a great catch and ended the day with a cook that did not disappoint. Fresh off the water and onto the plate doesn’t get better than that. The boys had the time of their lives and honestly so did we. It’s the kind of trip you talk about for years. Already planning the next one. If you’re on the fence, just book it you won’t regret it! thanks Captain Neal 🫡

Wow! That's the best review I've ever gotten! You must be a writer. Thanks for making me sound like I really know what I'm doing. I enjoyed helping the boys and seeing their faces when they caught fish. I would be happy to take them again.

Great Experience!
4 Hour Trip on March 8, 20262 adults

We caught more fish than we could count over the 5hr trip. Since we had no way to take fish home, we caught enough for lunch and then enjoyed sitting on a big school of just under keeping size. My wife and I caught a fish every cast for about an hour. We saw manatees and dolphins as well! would be a good trip for experienced fisherman looking to get on the fish, or anyone looking to try sonething nee in a beautiful place.

Reported catch:
Speckled Trout

My son & I had an exceptional time fishing with Captain Neil. If the fish weren't biting then Cap Neil would take us to another spot. My son enjoyed catching his first Saltwater Trout. Fantastic time well spent, thank you Captain Neil 🙂

I am historically from a fishing family. We have been fishing these waters for 4 generations. My great great grandparents lived on the islands. The mosquito lagoon is a beautiful place to fish and right now the trout bite is hot.
