this was a epic amazing unforgetful trip me and my son a US marine choose Luke to take us on a guided trip. He was amazing. He put us on. The fish he never stopped He was relentless and putting us on the fish even though it was blowing hard today he was still able to deliver if I could give him 10 stars plus I would and his dog was awesome , Also so friendly. I cannot recommend him enough. He is also a US marine and I thank him for his service and for him being an amazing guide we will definitely be back again. Thank you so much, Luke.

The Best Out Here
Fishing Half Day Inshore PM on October 5, 20252 adults
We love going out with Luke and his pup. He got us in the hunt today and we were pulling them up as fast as the lines were going in. He’s very considerate of his clients as well as preserving the fish and ensuring everything is done correctly. Every time we’ve taken folks out with him he’s been very personable and he brings knowledge to all who go out with him. Use his services if you want to catch some fish, gain some knowledge, and roll out with a great pup.

Thanks so much for the kind words! It’s always a blast having you out on the water—and the pup definitely agrees. I’m glad we got into the fish and kept those lines busy! I really appreciate you noticing the care we take with both our guests and the fish. It’s important to me that everyone has a great time, learns a little something, and feels good about the whole experience. Looking forward to the next trip already!

Great captain, boat and fishing experience.
Fishing Half Day Inshore PM on April 13, 20252 adults
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!

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.
