The Captain was fantastic. A laid-back experienced fisherman and Captain with a deep well of hands-on local knowledge. If he cannot put you on some great fish, there aren't any fish around that day. I was impressed by the Captain's skills, patience and commitment to success with my goals. You will not be disappointed!
This trip was a father’s day gift for my dad and Michael was awesome with making sure it was a great experience! He knew a ton of great places to go to, was incredibly knowledgeable, and was a great person to have conversation with. Absolutely would recommend him and will be heading out again in the future!
Captain Michael was great from the time I showed up, to the time I left! Very personable guy that made it feel like a day on the water with a buddy! Caught some fish, saw some cool marine life, couldn’t ask for much more!
Captain Michael did everything he could to put us on fish. We caught a variety of fish . Captain Michael did a great job. We had a lot of fun
went to learn and experience fishing. what a great captain. michael did exactly that.
