Lacy Dan Way5.0VerifiedOur first guided fishing trip as a family and it was awesome!
1/2 Day AM Fishing Trip on June 1, 2026 • 4 adultsWe 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!

1/2 Day AM Fishing Trip on June 5, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child"This was my best fishing trip i caught my biggest fish", Hudson. We had a great trip started by fishing for trout, then moved to try for some grouper, they clipped our lines immediately, so we moved on to fishing for snook. We had a great catching a ton of fish and a bird. Tony was very attentive, and educational for our group.

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.

We went with Captian Tony to celebrate my sons 4th birthday. I cant say enough about this trip and the experience for my son. Captain Tony was extremely knowledgeable and was very engaging to my son. We all had a fantastic time and caught our limit of snapper. When we are back, we will be booking again!
