Captain Chad was incredibly knowledgeable of the area. He put in some work on poling and sighting fish and delivered on the target species. An incredible day on the water, one we will never forget. Both me and my step son were able to check tarpon of the bucket list fish list. Highly recommend Mangrove Charters
thanks for an aweaome trip! see you on the next tide my friend 🤙
Although we struggled with bite conditions, Captain Chad absolutely knows what hes doing when it comes to sniffing out fish. Pleasure to fish with someone who so very clearly lives to fish and help others along that quest. Truly a pleasure! Whether its technical fly fishing you are seeking, or a day of the basics. You are in good hands!
Captain was great. Boat and equipment was perfect for the fishing. Captain Chad really knew what he was doing and you could tell he had a passion for it, not just going through the motions. I would highly recommend.
I appreciate you Mr. kevin. hope to see you again!
