We had a great time fishing with Captain Tony! This was our family’s first guided fishing trip, and he made it a blast from start to finish. My wife and two teenage boys had an awesome time, and we caught all kinds of fish including several trout, tons of snook, a small grouper, and a couple of catfish. Captain Tony was super laid-back, easy to talk to, and made the whole trip enjoyable. He was great at helping us find fish and keeping things fun the entire time. You can tell he enjoys what he does and wants everyone on his boat to have a good experience. More than anything, he helped make some great family memories for us. If we decide to book another guided fishing trip in the future, we’ll definitely be calling Captain Tony again. Highly recommend!
10/10 experience. Captain Tony has perfected his craft. We went out for the 4 hour morning fish. We are not experienced fishermen, but that did not matter. Captain Tony takes care of everything, makes you feel comfortable/welcome, and he knows where the fish are! He is fast paced. If you aren’t catching fish he is going to move you to where they are. The boat is great and clean. Tony is a great dude! He took care of everything from bating the lines, rebooking, and helping net the fish. He even cleaned them for us after. Highly recommend. Our only regret was we didn’t do a full day.
Capt. Tony was knowledgeable about everything from the fish to the bait to the gear. He takes very good care of his clients and equipment. Its not hard to see the pride he takes in his business and I would highly recommend booking a trip!!
Tony kept us on fish all morning. He met us at the dock with a livewell full of fresh bait ready to go. We caught lady fish, speckled trout, snook, and mangrove snapper. We had a great day on the water. Will 100% book with Tony again when we're back!
This trip was pretty last minute for us, we booked the day before. Captain Tony made it a great experience and put us on a ton of fish! Absolutely no regrets from us, caught a snapper and grouper on almost every cast at certain spots. Would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to catch a lot of fish and have a fun time!
