At the beginning of the trip, it pored plus high winds. we pulled into a sheltered area and the storm passed. We were onto fish for the rest of the trip. I wore quick drying clothing. basically a synthetic fishing shirt and a bathing suit. He has water but i brought food. I wish I remembered polarized sunglasses. The review part wants extra words before it allows me to post. Because the system is annoying, I will write thoughts about this comment area. This is great fun. I am so glad that i did this. i am really glad that it doesn’t end. I am lucky to experience a system tgat trapped me and won’t just let me be free. i can’t cut the line fast enough.
Thanks for the review! That storm was something else but you prevailed and were rewarded ! Until next time my friend.
I’m sure there are plenty of reviews that most just skim through, but if there is one that you read through, let it be this one. Dream State Charter gave me the fishing experience of a lifetime. We hooked into more fish than I can count, and it was my first time catching even one shark, but we ended up getting 3 to the boat! The price is the most reasonable in the Keys from my personal research, and Captain Kevin is incredibly knowledgeable and fun to fish with. If you are interested in having a genuinely awesome fishing experience while being down here, Dream State Charter is the boat to go with! You will not regret an experience through them.
Thanks so much! God bless you. Great time indeed! I will not soon forget the Tarpon throwing that bait, seeing it land on a monster Cuda and then watching him almost peel off all the line!💥 😂 Thats the intensity every angler lives for!
Captain Kevin was an outstanding captain. We had a perfect Father’s day trip. First time anglers and we caught Tarpon, Snook, Baracuda, Snapper and a young Bull Shark. Kevin extended the trip, timed the sunset, and taught us with patience. Definitely book this boat and captain!
Thanks again for Booking, Eric. That was a great trip. You and Dylan did an awesome job handling those fish. Hope to see you guys soon for some more action!
Kevin was an amazing captain! We caught a nice Jack and we had an incredible time! Highly recommend Kevin as a charter for your next fishing trip. Thank you Kevin....until next time...go get em!
Thank you so much Thalia! You guys are welcome onboard anytime you want to come down to warmer weather! Had a ton of fun with you guys.
Kevin was amazing! Got us on the fish! Even though the weather didn't cooperate at first, Kevin hung in there and got us on plenty of fish. Would highly recommended booking with him. We will definitely be a repeat customer.
Very much appreciate you! You and Kaleb were a joy to be around. Father and son time out there is something special and you guys made the most of it. Hope to have you guys again soon!
