Great Experience
3/4 Day Offshore 8 Hour Trip on June 15, 20264 adults

Our trip with Captin Mike on Bale Money was a great experience. we started off with bad weather and he navigated the waters with skill. My only complaint is with the fish booking app - where can I leave a review for that?

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

Response from Captain

Thank you for the kind words. It was very rough to start out and your crowd handled it with ease. Thank you so much for the opportunity and I hope you will come back soon!

My first
Gulf Stream Full Day 11 Hour Trip on August 23, 20254 adults

While fishing questionable due to passing of Erin of the coast we went out. Though not a ton of fish the captain was able to get me my first sailfish which made the trip well worth it. And my sister got to see her 🐬

Reported catch:
Sailfish
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

Response from Captain

Thank you Ms. Laura. We had a great time. I apologize for not having more comfortable seating for your husband. I was unaware of his physical condition. Had I known, I would have been able to bring our bean bag chairs. Congrats on your billfish!
