Captain Sam is the best part of the experience. He knows his stuff and made sure we caught fish and that we understood the habitat. Capt Sam even stopped to free a bird that was tangled in fishing line. Being on the water and catching fish was a great experience.

My son scheduled a trip at a local lake. Sam called the night before and switched venues because fishing wasn’t good at the lake. We met and went to the Everglades which in itself was an adventure. Beautiful seeing all the wildlife on the boat ride to the fishing spots. Sam was awesome, he is one of life’s true characters and wants people to catch fish and have a great time. He made the day amazing, my son and I connected with him and felt very comfortable. We caught lots of Peacocks and had an amazing experience. Will repeat often and highly recommend.
