Go out fishing with an open mind. Day to day the fishing changes. Weather is a big/huge factor. Be patient with your Captain. They are doing their best with what the day brings. You might catch fish non stop for your trip, or get only a couple. It's fishing. And be polite. May God bless your fishing adventures.

I'd recommend using King of Kings as he was great with myself and 5 high school seniors (4 of which had never done offshore fishing). They had a blast!

Go for it, the area offers a lot of great offer of fishing. It won’t disappoint. The only reason I did not write this 5 stars was because I’ve had better days fishing in Clearwater where I larger fish

Not as good of fishing in March as it is in June when snapper and other fish are open for catching but still fun to reel in a lot of fish! Mingo is a good eater as is Trigger.

Definitely consider the type of species you aim to catch. Bigger fish require bigger/deeper water. This of course turns into longer boat rides to the necessary habitat. The time in travel can eat into the scheduled time for your trip. If bringing smaller children, you'll be able to get into feisty smaller fish for sure much sooner. They'll have a fantastic time getting into fish much sooner in the trip and have a very memorable time.

Little cool early but warmed up quick. Guide cleaned the Spanish macs and we took them to the boathouse oyster bar and they blackened them and made fish tacos was excellent.

Recommend a boat with a cabin to chill in as the weather is cool. Fishing is great if your captain gets you to them and you are dressed for the weather.

The weather did not make it a very warm or comfy trip, but the fish were still biting! Dress in warm layers and you’ll be fine.

Be prepared for cooler weather on the water and at speed on the boat…...layer your clothing. Sunglasses, hats a must! It sure beats sweltering in the summer heat though!!

We hit the limit on mingos for 4 people and caught some good size snappers. Captn Hunter was very nice and helpful, did his thing all around. That center console was game changer. Glad we booked and will be booking with Lonestar Charters in the future for sure!! Thanks for a good time and good eats!!

Captain Alex was excellent! He put my kids to work to catch live bait right off. He got us on fish right away and the live bait my kids caught assisted in landing a 70lb. Cobia. Thank you Captain Alex for an unforgettable day of fishing. We will be back to book another trip!

We woke up to less than ideal weather, low 50°s and cool north winds 15-20mph. We knew these conditions usually slow the fishing down but Si was able to put us on the fish! We caught several species of fish and had a shot on some real nice fish on that ultimately won the fight. Had a delicious lunch with the fish we caught. Would recommend Nelson Guide Company to anyone looking for some inshore or nearshore fishing.

We booked a 4 hour trip with 850 Chsrter. Captain Jared was great. The weather and wine were a little tricky, but he put on the fish. Everyone caught a lot of fish. He definitely knows the spots. We highly recommend Captain Jared and 850 Charter. Hope to go out again soon.

We booked a 6 hour outing with Rewind for this past Saturday. Reid took us out and we caught a ton of vermillion snapper and our limit on triggerfish. Dylan was an amazing deckhand and took great care of our group. We had a blast and Reid and Dylan were awesome. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a fun day on the water!

We just went out with the Nothin Matters crew and we had an amazing trip with Bob and Frank. They put us on some great spots for catching fish. We were able to catch our limit and have a great time doing it. My son was pulling up keeper fish after keeper fish. We all had the best charter trip we have ever had. Thanks Bob and Frank for the great morning. We will be booking with you guys every time.

Captain Jayson and Captain Juan worked hard to put us in fish. The highlight of the 4 hour trip was fishing two lines for sharks. My 16 year old grandson landed a (75 lb.) blacktip. We had another larger shark on simultaneously, but it got off. Great fun and memories.

We had a great trip out with 6 guys. We caught 78 fish, 8 different species. The boat was everything we needed and the crew made our trip one to remember. At times people were catching 2 or 3 fish at once. We had fish cleaned in no time and took it over to brotulas for the freshest lunch I've ever had. Don't be afraid to book, you'll have a great time!

Captain Chris got us on fish and Denis and Brian educated and were quick to help. Vermillion snapper was the target and we got a lot. Best part was taking the filets over to The edge restaurant next door and they cooked all 10 lbs up for us. Blackened snapper was so good. For those looking for a business event in short time Big John’s made it a breeze to get on fish and have fun.

I took my 10 year old autistic grandson on the sunset shark targeted fishing trip. Our captain was so patient and encouraging. We caught 2 sharks and saw several dolphins. This is a trip my grandson will remember for the rest of his life.
