    Captain was outstanding. Came down from Rhode Island for a vacation and wanted to take my nephew fishing for the first time. He put us right on the fish first stop. Had my nephew catching his first fish fast. Explained what and helped any way possible. If you never fished before and looking for a new adventure, Real Time Fishing is the way to go. Thank you Captain for a great trip.

    Captain Jared is clearly very knowledgeable about local waters, species and their habits and how to deliver a fun, exciting trip. He put us on some monster reds and snook and we even managed to get in to some jacks and trout. Great time was had by all; highly recommend this outfit and will book again!

    As good as it gets... or better!

    3/4 Day Trip on November 22, 2018 • 3 adults

    I booked a 3/4 day With Capt. Jared and hit the daily double when we jumped aboard and Top First Mate Jeremy was alongside. We were a party of three, myself and my 2 boys, Jayson and Cole ages 12 and 11... and we just slayed the snook that day... We caught and released about 60 snook by 2pm and along the way also caught and released some Sea Trout, a bunch of nice Jacks, and a flounder and snapper to boot... not even mentioning a ton of Cats and Ladyfish which kept us busy all day.... These 2 pros had us fishin and catching all day, moved from spot to spot on slow downs and took great care of my boys so I could fish all day and never had to lift a finger to keep my boy focused. We had a ton of live bait in the well and changed to fresh baits constantly... These r great guys who luv to fish, are a ton of fun to talk to and fish with and know where to position the boat and find the fish. My highest recommendation.
