Great experience fishing on the water!
5/5
We had a great experience on the water with Jose. He is a real G. Personable, fun and he does his best to put you right on the fish. We caught Mangrove Snapper, Black Drum, Speckled Trout and a Maharo. If I am back in the Sarasota area I will book him again!

Great inshore fishing despite conditions
5/5
Our crew of 10 (3 dads, 3 moms, and 4 17y.o. boys) had a fantastic experience fishing inshore canals channels, and around piers/docks in Siesta Key. The weather was not ideal (30+ mph winds, temps in the low 50s), but our captains Andy and Adam were determined to help us catch A LOT of fish (~75 over 4hrs). We caught grouper, flounder, sheepshead, redfish, snook, and black drum. And the captains were extremely patient and friendly. We had a ball...would definitely do it again!

The Captain had us feeling like pros!
5/5
Went on our first fishing charter on a smaller vessel. The captain used his expertise to put us in position to catch some keepers. To include pompano, black drum, and large sheep head. He navigated the waters like a professional and we felt safe the entire time. We are definitely Hooked and can’t wait to do it again.

We took the morning trip with Captain Tony, hunted some triple tail in the gulf then moved inshore to catch black drum and Spanish mackerel. Captain Tony is friendly and helpful in instruction. Anytime we are in Sarasota/Tampa, we book with him. Highly recommend for a great time!
