Fishing Half Day Inshore PM
Great captain, boat and fishing experience.
Luke is an excellent guide and knows the inshore and just offshore areas like no one else. He was able to quickly get us to productive fishing areas that no other guides/boats could. Luke knew where the fish were likely to be and when to move to different locations based on changing conditions. The boat is fast and well suited for the marshes and ocean/bay during calm conditions. The boat offers comfortable seating for 3, but is completely open and not for the faint of heart. We caught many Reds during our 4 hour trip and would highly recommend Luke if you are interested in catching some strong fighting fish on light tackle. We will definitely be back again!

Fishing Half Day Inshore PM
Attention to detail and professional Captain.
We were unfortunately stood up the day prior by another captain in the area. Captain Luke reached out to us after I explained what happened and made sure our friends visiting had the best fishing experience. The kids absolutely loved it. I loved the fact that he was very professional, timely, and detailed. He check in with us the night prior and went over all details and got our expectations! We highly recommend CPT Luke and we will definitely be using him again.

Fishing Half Day Inshore AM
Perfect day in the marsh!!!!
We had a blast with The Marsh Man and Blankely! The scenery was beautiful! We got to do a lot of fishing and caught some interesting fish! We learned a lot about the area! We got to see some dolphins super close to the boat! He was very patient with my kids and made the morning so enjoyable! We will definitely book with him again!
