    Ron was Great!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on March 26, 2026 • 4 adults • 3 children

    I wanted my grandkids (ages 6-12 all boys) to have a great experience, they did. Ron not only put us on fish but had some entertaining stories along the way. I would definitely recommend him. Plan on hiring him again in a couple weeks. He was great with communication and following up about my questions before and during the trip

    Captain Ron is great!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on June 7, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had a great time fishing with Captain Ron. He told fun jokes and brought us right where the fish were biting. We caught some smaller ones for bate then we went for some big ones. We got 3 black nose sharks and a 8-9 foot nurse shark to finish up the trip. It was definitely a trip we will remember. My 10 year old daughter said the nurse shark was awesome and definitely put up a fight and she will never forget this! Thanks so much for the great memories!

    6 hour trip with Captain Ron

    3/4 Day Trip on May 27, 2021 • 2 adults

    Captain Ron brought us out to multiple spots where me and my girlfriend hooked into many mangrove snapper as well as a few grouper, a bluefish, and three sharks which put up a great fight. This was the best time I’ve ever had fishing and Captain Ron was very funny and helpful throughout the trip as well as teaching us a little bit more about the area and the animals we were catching.

    It was a blast!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) on April 13, 2018 • 2 adults

    Fishing with captain Ron was a once in a lifetime experience. We started catching fish immediately and caught all different kinds! Ron was extremely knowledgeable of the area and of fish behavior. Very professional but easy going. Always asked for our input on what we wanted out of the trip. Highly recommend!!!

    July fishing trip

    3/4 Day Trip on July 3, 2018 • 4 adults

    Awesome trip with Capt. Ron. Kids caught plenty of fish, mom enjoyed herself and the last fish of the trip was the most exciting, False Albacore took a little over 30 minutes to land but well worth it. Thanks for a good day of family fun Capt. Ron!

    Captain works hard

    Half Day Trip (AM) on October 12, 2026 • 4 adults

    The wind proved to be stronger than forecasted. Captain Ron adjusted immediately to make an enjoyable outing for my group. We caught enough to keep even my teen granddaughters attentive. A dolphin showed up, kept us enterained. Ron is a great choice.

I have been fishing since I was a little guy. I have fished all over the Midwest and part of Canada. When I moved to Florida with my wife and children, I couldn't wait to get back to fishing. Once I caught my first big saltwater fish I was hooked, truly spoiled for saltwater fishing. I love taking people out for a good time of fishing or just swimming on the sand flats or beaches and some dolphin viewing. I love to share in that fish of a lifetime experience with people.

    We had a fantastic experience with Captain Ron. He was great with the our kids (8 and 10) and even found a dolphin to keep us company. We'll definitely use him again.
