great family day on the water!!!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on December 20, 2025 • 5 adults

we had sn awesome time out today. Captain Colby was at dock geared up and ready when we arrived. He had an overflowing live well full of bait for us. We’ve do e other outings where we fished so hard that we ran out and had to switch to artificial bait but not today. We fished hard, had tons of fish in the boat and more that we lost and the live well was still hopping with bait and there were moments where Colby was flipping off a fish and baiting a hook as fast as he could. He worked hard for his clients today!(my family). I appreciated that he did all the work today and I was able to enjoy some quality fishing. Back home aboard our 19’ Whaler I’m the guy working hard yo keep the kid’s line baited and in the water while steering the boat. Today Captain Colby did that extremely professionally and everyone caught more than expected. highlights from the day include: double hook ups…a Florida trifecta, Snook-Trout-Redfish, multi species as kids requested… “I’ve never seen a salt water catfish”, “first snook”, “what’s a yellow jack”, “first redfish”, “will we catch mango snapper”, “will we catch anythig we can eat”??? I cant say that Captain Colby could produce the same awesome day for you and your family but I’d bet he will do everything he can to try! And thats as good as you can expect in todays world. Pictures say it all. We kept enough to eat tonight and released more than we expected to catch.

6 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on August 13, 2025 • 3 adults

My wife, daughter and I just finished our day on the water with Captain Colby, and what a great day it was! We've chartered quite a few fishing trips over the years, but this one really sticks out as exceptional. Communication prior to the trip was excellent, and every detail was covered to ensure we got what we expected. Captain Colby obviously is very passionate about both catching fish as well as ensuring that his customers are comfortable and having fun. He put us on top of a large school of trout which resulted several double and triple headers. Captain Colby's boat is extremely clean, and all tackle including rods, reels are of top notch quality. If you lose your fish on a Captain Coby trip you can't blame the fishing pole or reel!. After growing tired of catching fish, we asked Captain Colby if we could try another spot - Immediately he was preparing to start moving. A few minutes later and we were fishing a mile or two away and once again the fish began attacking our baits. This repeated itself multiple times, and then, all to quickly, we were back at the dock where Captain Colby fileted our catch and entertained the Pelicans. We had a great time with Captain Colby, and plan on looking him up when future plans bring us back to this area. If anyone reading this is looking for a successful day on the water with a knowledgeable guide who can quickly get you on fish, Captain Colby won't let you down.

Tons of Fish!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on November 24, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 children

We had a group of three adults and three kids and had a blast! Captin Colby knew were to go to keep the lines busy. Over all we had at least 60 fish in the boat on a 4 hour trip and Captin Colby keep the entire trip filled between bites talking about the area and teaching everyone about the different species we were catching. We caught Snook, Trout, Red Fish, Flounder, Lady Fish, and even landed a few Sharks at our last spot. Plenty of keepers to feed the group! Highly recommend.

Great time!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) on December 22, 2025 • 1 adult • 2 children

Colby was a great guide and put us on a ton of fish right out of the gate. Trout, snook and a few flounder and reds. I’ve been on a lot of guided trips and can say that Colby knows what he is doing and is laid back and patient - qualities you want in a guide! Would recommend him to others!

Fantastic Fishing Charter!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on March 14, 2025 • 6 adults

If you're looking for an extremely knowledgeable local guide while visiting the Sarasota/Tampa Bay area, look no further. Captain Colby was very friendly, extremely attentive, and an absolute pleasure to be out in the water with fishing. We were out on a 4 hour trip, and had fish in the boat within the first cast at each spot. (ended up with nearly 2 dozen keepers) We had a few anglers in my group that had very little fishing experience, and with the help of our captain they looked like seasoned veterans by the end of the day. Thanks for a great trip, we'll be sure to send anyone we know visiting the area your way!
