Had an excellent time with Florida Backcountry Fishing and would highly recommend their business! The morning weather didn’t want to cooperate, with overnight thunderstorms carrying into our planned trip time. Florida Backcountry Fishing adjusted our trip schedule accordingly to make sure we got a full and worthwhile trip. When out on the water, Captain Mike put us on the fish quickly, and took us to several different spots where we landed our limit of mangrove snapper. He provided excellent coaching on technique and tips to land fish better. After catching enough fish for dinner, we wanted to catch something a bit bigger, and Mike got us hooked up with a 10ft bull shark! I fought the shark for 45 minutes before getting it reeled in and Mike provided expert assistance the whole time. We had a great time and will be back the next time we’re in south Florida!

We had an amazing time with Mike - the Dark Angler! He is a sarcastic, entertaining, funny fisherman who did an incredible job teaching my girls how to catch dinner lol. I know he really wanted the thrill of hooking a tarpon with us, but that was not the experience we wanted so he gave us exactly what we were hoping for, a day on the water catching lots of fish and then heading to Wahoo’s for them to be cooked up for our dinner - it was delicious!!!. The accents he used, the excitement he had when we got a fish in the boat, made our day even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Mike if you are looking for an amazing day on the water hooking fish!!!!

We had a good half day trip with Captain Mike. We got on fish early and had limited out on snapper in the first hour of the trip. We tried for tarpon the rest of the trip, unfortunately the conditions weren’t ideal, and we didn’t get one. Captain mike made every effort he could to get us on the fish, he even kept us out a little past quit time to give us a few more chances at a big tarpon! He was very knowledgeable about the sport of fishing and taught us a lot about the fish we were targeting. Definitely will be a returning customer next time we are in the Keys!

Capt Mike took us out for Capt Morgan who was wet and exhausted from morning trip.  Capt Mike did an excellent job.  We chose to not worry about catching supper or a trophy but just have fun catching fish.  Boy did Capt Mike put us on the fish.  We actually did wind up catching supper, had it blackened and grilled next door at the Capt suggestion, Delicious!  Capt Mike is entertaining, friendly, a great teacher, and Captain.  I would definitely book this boat again.
