What an adventure with Captain Seth! From chasing fish to exploring the area and finding shells, the trip was packed with action and fun. Everyone in our group caught fish, and Captain Seth took us far beyond a standard fishing trip. His knowledge of the water and easygoing style made the whole day feel like a true Florida experience. We had an incredible time and would book again in a heartbeat!
We had the best day!! Seth was so kind, patient, knowledgeable, and personable. my grandkids caught 8 fish, my husband caught 5 and my kids caught 3 and 4… every lind uou could imagine. He even stopped and let the kids shell a bit to hreak up the day for the 7 and 5 year old. Highly recommend and will he booking with him agsin when tge hext grandbabies come to visit !!!!
thank you!
We caught 11 mackerel and tons of other fish. We also caught and released two Goliath grouper but the third one had an unfortunate ending to its life. A 13’ Hammerhead shark literally struck it as Capt Seth had his hand reaching for its gills to lift it. He was lucky to keep his hand! Wow what an adrenaline rush!!!
