4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 19, 20262 adults1 child

We had a fantastic fishing trip in Clearwater Beach! Our guide (Josh) was extremely pleasant, patient, and helpful throughout the entire experience. What really stood out was how great he was with our 6-year-old daughter . He took the time to explain things in a way that was easy to understand, kept her engaged, and made sure she felt included and excited the whole trip. The guide was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely seemed to enjoy helping everyone have a great time. Thanks to his kindness and encouragement, our daughter created memories she’ll be talking about for a long time. We highly recommend this fishing guide to families looking for a fun and stress-free day on the water in Clearwater Beach!

4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 2, 20261 adult1 child

The ocean was very turbulent out trip day, but we had a great trip inland fishing. We caught catfish, redfish, mangos, grouper, gag grouper, and almost had a little black fin shark but he came off as he broke the surface. Overall a great day!

Fantastic trip for out-of-towners
2 Hour Trip (AM) on March 31, 20252 adults

My wife and I went on a 2 hour inshore fishing trip with Captain Mike while visiting Florida for a long weekend. Captain Mike absolutely knows how to put you on fish quickly. Within the first few minutes my wife was reeling in a grouper! We caught a total of 7 fish in the 2 hours and missed one that we will never know what it was. Money well spent! Captain Mike is a very knowledgeable fisherman who understands the patterns and techniques needed to put fish in the boat. Super friendly. Very nice boat. A real five star experience. We would absolutely recommend Captain Mike to others and would not hesitate to reach out to him again if we return. Thanks Mike!
