Excellent Fishing Experience
3/4 Day Trip nearshore-offshore on July 23, 20254 adults
My family and I had an exceptional private fishing charter with Captain Mike Avinon this week. His professionalism, friendly demeanor, and deep knowledge of the Gulf were evident from the start. Captain Mike is a true expert at finding fish, making our trip both successful and enjoyable. This was, without a doubt, the best Gulf fishing charter I have ever taken. We will be using his services again and can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you for a fantastic day, Mike!

Captain Mike runs an outstanding charter. He is professional, knowledgeable and patient. He knows where to find the fish and makes the trip fun. The boat was well kept, the gear was top notch and his passion for fishing really shows. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great time on the water.
