    The captain put me on bonefish and permit all day. he was a top-notch guide and I caught my first permit with his excellent help and great helper! He knows the waters and the species. I would highly recommend a fly fishing trip or any fishing trip with him.

    Grand Slam!!

    Full Day Trip – Fly Fishing on January 9, 2025 • 2 adults

    Capt Tayo knows where the fish are! He brought us to some massive tarpon and snook (which I was unable to connect with) but some bones cruised in, they quickly handed me the other rod set up and I got into some bonefish. Headed to another spot and landed tarpon and snook on the fly. Which is exactly what I was looking for. The sandwiches for lunch were delicious and he had the cooler stocked with water and sodas. Highly recommend! They were great guys to get out fishing with. Very encouraging and easy going. The best kind of guides!

    Full day Bottom Fishing

    Bottom Fishing/Trolling Adventure on April 25, 2024 • 1 adult

    Captain Tayo and his mate were awesome. They were very friendly and made my experience great. We caught too many snappers and barracuda to count. 5 different types of snapper. We targeted tarpon most of the day, unfortunately missed a few but saw lots and had a few opportunities. Captain Tayo was very knowledgeable and had a great lay of the land. Overall a great experience and would recommend for anyone who likes spin-cast fishing with bait and lures.

    This guy knows where the fish are

    Full Day Trip – Fly Fishing on March 24, 2024 • 2 adults

    Captain Tayo put us on more bonefish than I could have imagined. He definitely knows where the fish are but if possible I recommend bringing some of your own gear as his is limited. He did have the right flies for us though. The boat it self is perfect for flats fishing. Good dudes and I’ll definitely be back someday.
