5 of us had a great day in overcast weather, but timed it right to get on some fish before bad weather came in. Capt Eric is a blast to fish with and has great knowledge of the area. We even stopped on the way back to see several pods of dolphines that frequent the area. Eric took an opportunity to run us out to a spot where we hooked up with Vermillion Snapper, Trigerfish, Red Snapper, and a few other species. Non-stop action from the moment we started fishing. What a great day on the water! Thanks Eric, we will be coming back to fish with you again in the future!

We were able to catch fish, see blue
angels practice, and dolphins!  We each caught a fish.  Captain was very helpful and knowledgeable.  He even gave information on the locations and thjngs around is.  This trip involved 4 people!  Our pics we took turned iut great of the Blue Angels! i would recommend this trip to with the guide!

We caught red snapper and spade fish.  The captain was a card. He so patient and helpful. He really took the time to explain and teach things. We will be repeat customers for sure. This is the idea family friendly trip for anyone. Don’t waste time. Anyone looking to book a fishing trip should look no further. book now

I am an 80 yr old female angler who had never fished the Gulf, inshore or off shore.  Having fished with my dad since childhood on lakes from shore and small boats, I love fishing.  Catching is fun but it’s fishing that stirs my heart.  Capt Mike is the perfect guide for those like me who come to Pensacola to explore a new fishing adventure.  When I arrived, a youngster and his grandpa were smiling their way up the modest boat ramp. He caught a flounder and reminded me of my childhood fishing trips with my dad; as well as our sons fishing with their grandpa at Lake of the Ozarks 25 years ago. 
Having booked a fly fishing trip on the Colorado three years ago, I learned that some fishing skills require a life time of learning….like fly fishing.  But I thought inshore deep sea fishing might be something more akin to my skills and booked a 3 hr trip with Capt Mike.  What a blessing.  The trip was filled with details about fishing in the bay and all the way out to Pickens Fort area.  At one point we stayed above a sunken sail boat where the water was so clear it was like a coy pond watching mango snapper and spade fish dart about.  I caught so many red fish my wrist was tired from cranking in the fiesty friends. My Pensacola sis and I were sharing the condo vacation and wanted fish tacos fresh caught.  I sent a picture of the culinary fun Capt Mike provided with my big Spade catch.  I wish all you visiting anglers can have Capt Mike at your helm.  It was a wonderful new fishing adventure and a reminder that if you’re not having fun, you’re doing something wrong.  Capt. Mike makes fit fun, easy and is a real blessing.

PS I tried to upload a picture of the fish taco’s for Capt Mike but alas my techo skills are not as good as my angler’s skills

The whole morning was so wonderful. The meeting up location was super easy and accessible. Mark was a pleasure from the moment we walked up to the dock! We enjoyed some great inshore fishing in the sound before heading to the bay. When they weren’t biting he set us up to go someplace else. He was super informative and helpful; not only in showing us how to use his gear and provided bait, but even helping us with our hiccups ;-) after a spell at the bay and a butt load of catches we moved on to the Gulf coast. Here we played Donkey Kong with the Dolphins lol… Seeing aho could get the fish first. He followed swimming schools of fish and the dolphins followed us. As a fisherman, these beauties can be aggravating but he made it so fun! We just kept reeling them in :-) My baby girl and I LOVED the dolphins they would come right up to the boat… We know they were just waiting on us to bring in their next easy breakfast but we didn’t let them win LOL. We came back with 7 fish, three different species. He even told us how to best prepare them. I can’t wait for dinner!
Thank you, Mark, for the most AWESOME ADVENTURE!!!
