    Sammy CAN fish!!

    Full Day Trip on February 5, 2022 • 2 adults

    Wonderful full day with Sam! I had a friend in from Illinois and he LOVED it! Unfortunately, the fish we were hoping to catch was the peacock bass. We caught Oscar, large mouth bass and the yukky alligator gar. The scenery was amazing. We ended up going to the Everglades as Markham Park would have not had enough water for an entire day. We WILL tour with Sam again! Great conversation, lots of laughs and great “secret” fishing places!

    Awesome morning fishing the Everglades

    Half Day Trip (AM) on December 19, 2019 • 3 adults

    Sam lived up to his title and showed us a great time fishing the Everglades. Caught large mouth bass, peacock bass, mud fish, Oscar and an alligator gar. Over 60 fish in total with a couple of real nice specimens.. 4lb large mouth bass and a 7lb mud fish. The Everglades itself was beautiful, saw ospreys catching fish, gators and more specifies of bird life than you can imagine. Fantastic day and Sam himself is a pleasure to be with. Attentive to our needs, so helpful - one of us had never fished before - and great fun. Can’t recommend this trip highly enough - 5 stars all the way.

Terrific Father’s Day trip with Captain Sam!
Half Day Trip (PM) on June 15, 20251 adult2 children

Captain Sam knows the freshwater canals and waters very well and apparently many other saltwater spots beyond as well.. His boat is perfect for it and he’s great with kids as he has a lot of grand children. Sam was kind enough to take us on a short notice Father’s Day trip on Sunday afternoon and we caught a ton of fish in terrific scenery. I highly recommended him.
