BOBBY cares about the environment and the resources that are there for you to enjoy. Takes the time to make sure you have the best time while you are there. He makes sure you see if possible all kinds of interesting things. ( Stingrays, manatees, dolphins). As long as they are out and about you can possibly see them. He makes you feel awesome and is there to assist when needed, helping you get the pole and line to the right spot, and for the last two years we have scheduled with him. If we are able to come back to fl we will look him up again. Thank you Bobby
We had a great time fishing on our spring break vacation. Our group of two teenage granddaughters and two grandmothers really enjoyed fishing with Bobby. Bobby was an excellent captain and we certainly kept him busy! We caught trout, snook, and crevalle jack. Also got to see dolphins right by our boat and a few shark in the sound. Thank you for the fun experience and will definitely book again during our next trip to Florida!
What a fun day, we met Captain Bobby at the marina and we caught fish all day snook, trout, jack, ladyfish, catfish and the best and biggest redfish i have ever caught. Our Captain was nice, professional and knowledgeable not to mention patient with us schooling us Nevadans in salt water fishing. I highly recommend shallow water experience for a fishing trip.
This Dady Daughter trip was great experience for both. Laurie caught a Big Redfish that we took home to eat, I caught a big Snook which was too big to keep 44 inch realy fun to catch on light tackle. We also caught many Sea Trout kapt 4. Captain Bobby was very accommodating and changed our start time to avoid rain. I recommend Shallow Water Experience.
We had an awesome trip with Bobby. We were catching fish nonstop, rods bent all afternoon, exactly what we were hoping for. He really knows what he’s doing and put us right on the fish. Super knowledgeable, easygoing, and made the whole experience fun for everyone. Couldn’t have asked for a better captain, highly recommend. Cody
