Fun fun trip
4 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing (AM) on September 28, 2026 • 4 adults

Dylan and Pete were awesome! They made the trip special with their personal stories of life in the Keys. Fishing was almost secondary to the good time. We did the reef fishing and didnt catch much but it wasnt because of lack of skill or effort on their part. These guys definitely are highly experienced, have a nice clean and fast boat and couldnt have been more polite and patient with us. Highly recommended and would use again. Wish we had booked for longer.

Offshore trip to remember
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on July 7, 2026 • 2 adults

This offshore trip with my 16yo son was amazing. Pete and his first mate, Ryan, were helpful and fun to be around. Although we’re expeienced anglers back in the midwest, We learned a lot about unique techniques of deep sea fishing. We caught some amazing blackfin tuna, skipjack tuna, and almaco jack. Ate some here and packing some for home. Pete is super detailed about fishing techniques great at explaining. Thanks for making a fun ans worthwhile day. Rob

6 Hour Trip – Backcountry on October 29, 2026 • 4 adults

Captain Pete found monsters that our biceps will remind us of for days and also the varieties everyone wants for the best catch and cook experiences. The water/currents were a challenge, but he put us on the fish despite tough conditions. We had a great trip!

Amazing Experience!
6 Hour Trip – Backcountry on July 12, 2026 • 3 adults

Talk about someone that knows what they are doing! Captain Peter walked us exactly through what we were going to catch before we even left the dock. He proceeded to deliver on what he promised. Took care of all of us on the boat, a mix of beginner to advanced level, with extraordinary skill and patience. We are already planning to book again with Captain Peter & A Fishing Guru. Highly recommended, book now!

Exceptional Day on the Water with Captain Pete!
4 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing (AM) on July 11, 2026 • 2 adults

We had the absolute best time fishing with Captain Pete! He put us right on the fish, and we caught our limit of both mangrove snapper and trout. The boat is fantastic—clean, comfortable, and perfect for a great day out. Captain Pete himself is awesome, super fun to be around, and really knows his stuff. If you want an amazing, productive fishing trip, he is definitely your guy. Highly recommend, and we will definitely be back!

    Capt Pete was awesome! We did A six- hour back country for my son’s 13th birthday. Only a couple keepers, but they were huge, great time. He was a wealth of knowledge, and we learned some really neat tricks and new ties. Highly recommend!

    The trip was a blast, we caught a ton of fish and when they heard we wanted to see some dolphins they found some and got us a close up. We even wanted to see a manatee and they made it happen. They were very polite and frendly and helped us have a great time.

    Snappers first, caught limit quickly then on to catch some trout. Petite wife hooked a 200lb Tarpon on 30lb test line as we watched this beautiful fish jump out of water 3 times before breaking line. Wife said “help me, help me” LOL.

    sounds like we came during a rough part of the year in August. waters are warm and fish are out deep in cooler water. long story short we didn't catch as much fish as I was hoping but pete and Dylan did their absolute best to make the trip as good as possible ended up catching a few snapper that got eaten at the boat by barracudas and caught 2 mahi and even a shark for my fiance. overall would recommend and come back during a better time of year
