Fish On!
5/5
We are had a lovely morning fishing with Capt. Millsap! We caught black drum, sea trout, redfish, and mangrove snapper. Capt. Millsap regaled us with his many adventures of fishing. He truly loves sharing his favorite pastime with his clients. And he knows where the fish are!

My wife and I had a great trip with captain Jim this morning. We caught a limit of specks then went after black drum and ended up with a nice mess of fish. He is passionate and courteous and I highly recommend!

Trout
5/5
Caught tons of trout , unfortunately now you can only keep 3 .Musta caught 25 or thirty catch and release. Reds weren't biting , tried sight casting to black drum but they weren't biting either. Kevin worked his butt off and was fun to spend time with. I will definitely go out with him again

Amazing Guide and Trip

One of the best guided trips I have been on. We caught several large fish, including a big jack crevalle, two over-slot redfish, and a few keeper black drum, sheepshead, and speckled trout. I would recommend him to anyone!

Rough Water
4/5
Captain Millsap did the best he could to find fish under challanging conditions. The wind led to rough water where he would have preferred to take us. In spite of that, the three of us caught eight black drum and a sea trout.
The next time I would wait a little later on towards summer when the water is quieter. Thank you Captain Millsap.
