Great 1st fishing trip!

Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on March 15, 2026 • 2 adults • 2 children

It was our son's birthday wish to go fishing and we had the best time with Captain Ian! He was so patient and knowledgeable. He adjusted our trip time because of unfavorable weather and it worked out perfectly! We caught some red fish and a black drum...which he filleted and it was delicious. We saw a giant gator and got close enough to take some good pictures! At the he took us to Bear Island and got to explore. Thank you Captain Ian for a memorable trip! My sons can't wait to fish again!

Great Captain, Great Time!

Ian was a stellar captain for our fishing adventure! He knows the area extremely well and made sure that we caught fish for fun and for food. He was happy to teach us all about what it takes to fish and how it all works. Also, we had some planning issues that could have caused some headaches but he was very flexible and accommodating to make sure we could really enjoy it all!

While we did not get to fish with Ian, we did fish with his partner David. The experience was great and they met my ask. The charter was a gift to my 85 year old father for his birthday and David made sure to make him feel special. While my father grew up fishing, he has lost some of his touch but David made him feel as though he was the king of fishing...thank you David!
