We caught several different species and multiples of each. Taylor was good about moving locations if the fish slowed down.
I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing trip with Captain Taylor, and it was an outstanding experience. Taylor did a great job, moving us to different spots if the fish weren't biting, ensuring we had a productive day on the water. We caught over 50 fish in just four hours, including a stingray that put up a great fight. I went on this trip with my three boys, aged 15, 12, and 10, and Taylor was fantastic with them. He showed patience and a good sense of humor, making the experience enjoyable and educational for all of us. Captain Taylor's knowledge of the waters and fishing spots, combined with his professional yet friendly demeanor, made the trip memorable. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an authentic fishing adventure!
As you know, when you book a charter with someone you’ve never met or fished with, it’s a roll of the dice. Somehow bad captains have high reviews and they turn out to be duds. Captain Taylor was fantastic! Knew his stuff, knew where to go and has the perfect boat and set up for a great day on the water. We caught snapper, trout, mackerel and snooker. Highly recommend to friends and family.

I recently had the pleasure of going on a fishing charter with Captain Taylor out of Bradenton, Florida and let me tell you, it was an experience I won't soon forget! My wife, myself, and two friends feel lucky that we picked Capt Taylor. From the moment we stepped aboard the boat, Captain Taylor was friendly, welcoming, and eager to help us catch some fish. He took the time to show us how to handle the rod and reel and gave us tips on how to reel in the big one. Captain Taylor's knowledge of the local fishing spots was impressive. He knew exactly where to take us to find the best fish and even shared some fascinating facts about the marine life in the area. It was clear that he's spent countless hours on the water and truly loves what he does. Not only was Captain Taylor incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but he was also very courteous. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and having a good time. He was patient with us and never made us feel rushed or pressured. We caught our limit of sea trout and red fish and afterwards went to a nearby "hook and cook" restaurant and enjoyed some of our catch. Overall, I highly recommend Captain Taylor for anyone looking for a fantastic fishing charter experience. His expertise, friendly demeanor, and passion for fishing make him an excellent choice for anglers of all levels. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! P.S. The included picture was not staged. I was genuinely that excited!
Was looking to organize a trip for a couple friends and started searching for a charter. Came across Capt. Taylor and had solid 5 star reviews. So pulled the trigger. Our group started off and got to the first spot, within the hour all three of us had easily caught a dozen nice sized trout each. Then on to sheepshead.Taylor knew the spot for these. After a few spots we went on to a few more spots up the river, each of us landed 6-10 snook and a few other species here and there. Taylor did not disappoint. Every spot lines tight! In all the group landed about 100 fish and constantly had action all day. I have fished inshore for years and have used guides and Taylor was up there with the best, of which my go to retired 5 years ago so have been on the lookout to find a new Capt. Taylor has definitely impressed and is now my first choice. Can't wait to book another trip later.

Had a 4 hour trip this morning with captain taylor he got me on fish within the first 10 min. Limited out on trout within the first hour and half. Really cool do to it was like talking to a brother I definitely recommend his charter trips
Taylor is a great Captain. He has guided us a two trips. Both were very successful. We brought home a full limit of Sea Trout for dinner. Very personable and professional. I would highly recommend using captain Taylor.

Taylor was awesome. Super friendly, easy to talk too and made it really comfortable for myself and my 16 year old son. Caught plenty of fish and he helped us out the entire time putting us in good locations. My son loved it and it was an awesome morning. Highly recommend booking with him.
We could not have had a better time with Captain Taylor! Initially it took a bit of searching to find the fish. Captain Taylor was patient and persistent, and we kept trying new spots until he got us on the fish. Once we got on the fish it was game on! We caught Snook, Sea Trout, Jack Crevalle, Ladyfish, and even a few unexpected species like Saltwater Catfish and Lizardfish. We were fishing with my 7 year old son and Captain Taylor made sure that my son felt like he was part of the crew and had a great time. My son spent the rest of our Florida trip asking if we could go back out fishing! Captain Taylor worked hard to ensure we caught fish and had a lot of fun doing it. He definitely succeeded, we are already looking forward to our next trip with him!
If you are looking for an attentive, educational, & action packed charter this is it!!!! Taylor was so patient with us and answered all of of questions. Taylor made us feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we stepped on his boat. Days prior to our trip Taylor reached out to me explaining the fishing probability and was very honest (even though we caught so many fish we were worn out) Taylor also went out to catch bait for our trip and reported it was too foggy to go and was flexible to move our departure time. He could have easily cancelled on us but he knew how important it was for us to get out on the water that day due to scheduling. We will definitely be booking more trips in the future. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
