A 5 star fishing adventure

Captain Cole is an amazing local guide who grew up in the area fishing the Apalachicola bay. He put us on the fish and provided us with a number of fishing tips. He is one of the best captains we've fished with in florida. We caught our limit of red fish as well as large sea trout and black drum. Captain Lee will most certainly take care of you.

We slammed 'em!

Wes took us on a near shore fishing adventures. He was great with our kids (10 and 13) and we caught tons of whiting, catfish, a black drum, a pigmouth, black sea bass, and a sting ray! We know catching fish is never a guarantee but when Wes realized we were not in a great spot, we moved to a new location quickly so we had the best chance to catch things we could keep! We highly recommend and hope to be back on the water with him in the future!

Great Captain

Took my semi interested 10 year old and myself out for a half day. Got on some Sheephead, Sea Trout, Pompano and black drum. Great time and Captain Mathes worked with my son the best he could to understand casting and setting the hook. It was a great day and I highly recommend you booking him if you get the opportunity!

Captain Dwayne is great. 36 fish this morning, speckled trout, white trout, redfish, black drum, flounder. And a lot of fun. We always book with Dwayne. Local, third generation guide. Funny and patient.
