We have been out with many captains over the years. Capt Lou definitely has the nicest equipment.  We met at the public landing in Placida where he quickly picked us up.  We headed out to our first location.
  With in minutes of throwing the bait in the water my youngest had his first shark on the line.  After a short battle she broke off at the boat.  My son said he saw the leader so it counted. His first “real” shark is in the books.
Lou repositioned the boat and we threw two more baits in the water.  Minutes later fishon. This time it was my oldest’s turn he made short work of this Sand Bar Shark.  The big fish was brought to the side of the boat. Pictures were taken and now there were smiles all the way around. Another 1st “real” shark.
  Lou once again maneuvered the boat around to cast bait last back out.  My youngest quickly hooked up, but lost it soon after.  By this time the location is getting crowded we watched a couple others hook up, and slowly move out of the way.  Lou again put the boys into position to cast.
  The boys casted their baits with in minutes they both had sharks on the line.  The oldest boy secured the fighting stool and my youngest and myself took to fighting the other fish.  We moved around the boat trying to keep from fouling the lines, while Lou also moved the boat around trying to do the same. After 45 minutes and several trips around the boat and under the other rod we got the big bull up to the boat leadered and he was gone. Mean while the fight was still on in the front. After another 30 minutes or so the he got the big Sand Bar up to the boat.  More pictures and smiles.
  With about an hour left the boys were tired and wanted something smaller.  We headed to a reef where the jack crevalle were hungry almost every cast was a fish.  We also caught two nice Permits.
  Lou is a great Captain and I would highly recommend giving him a shot.

Thanks again

Capt Lou was a great Captain to go out fishing with. Really cool guy. His boat is new and he knows what he’s doing out there. First cast of the day we hooked up a 120 lb Tarpon! Was an amazing experience. Later in the day we caught some snappers a little farther out. Overall a an amazing trip and plan to come back and fish with Captain Lou again!!

What a fantastic day on the water.  Big Snook to start the day and Capt. Lou made sure my son and I stayed in the fish all day.  Highly recommended.

Captain Lou was amazing!!! He was extremely knowledgeable and knew how to handle the waters. He made the experience for my 12 year son unforgettable… A day we will truly never forget. We were catching fish non-stop. Between the fish and the bait we kept the captain busy!!! Thank you for an amazing experience. We will be back! My son said he will never forget you!!

Bought a 4hr trip as a surprise for my husband while we were visiting my parents in Florida. Cpt Lou was nice and good at answering questions. We even had 4 reels going at once, fishing was great! Caught a Goliath Grouper, Spanish Mackerel, Permit fish, Sheepshead, Crevalle jack & bluefish! Highly recommended & would love to go out and do this again!
