4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on May 11, 2025

We had a wonderful Mother's Day morning out on the water with Kyle. My wife and I fish regularly but we had our three kids (11, 9, and almost 4) this trip and they all had a great experience. He was patient and we all had a wonderful half day. We would recommend Kyle to anyone.

I would highly recommend requesting captain Kyle to take you out and get you on the fish right away! He was extremely patient with all 3 kids and made sure each kid had a memorable experience and everyone had the opportunity to reel something in! 10/10 experience will be requesting captain Kyle again next time we book!! .

Nice inland fishing with my 8yr old son

3 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on March 31, 2025

The three-hour trip was a great first trip with my son. It let him get his feet wet, so to speak, without having to be out all day. Given it was an inland trip, the morning was great just cruising through the mangroves as the sun came up. Kyle was very chill and helpful. Thanks!
