Capt Jeff was a stand up guy.
5/5
Capt Jeff was a super nice guy, reasonable on price and worked tirelessly to put us on the fish! I dont know who else caught fish today, but i know we sure did! Over twelve species I think we counted, I had always wanted to catch redfish and today was the day. He was excellent with the boys as well. 5 stars!

Half Day PM Sunset Inshore Fishing
5/5
Where do I begin? Andy was quick to respond and easy to communicate with to plan our excursion. From the moment we stepped on the boat to the moment we stepped off it was nonstop action. From fishing the bridge, the flats, and ending the evening dock fishing at night. My son was put on multiple species with multiple catches of each; snook, redfish, ladyfish, catfish, and trout. Gonna be hard to beat this trip in the future, but we'll be sure to rip some lips with Andy when we come back down!

Fantastic! Great day in the water!
5/5
Wanted to take my son-in-law (visiting from West Virginia) out to experience some inshore saltwater fishing. Captain Gills did a great job finding a bunch of snapper, nice snook and a very nice redfish. It wasn’t the best weather or tide to catch fish, but he found them for us under less than ideal conditions. Definitely recommend Capt Gills and won’t hesitate to book with him again.

Fishing? More like Catching!
5/5
Capt Mike was awesome! From the moment we stepped on the boat it was like fishing with a buddy you’ve known for years. His local knowledge of wear to fish had us pulling up fish all afternoon. We hit trout, ladyfish, redfish and snook. He even had a spot for a quick dip to cool off! Definitely a memorable trip for the family. I would highly recommend booking with Capt Mike.

Captain Shane put us on fish and we caught enough to eat that night and then moved to focus on Snook and Redfish. Caught a bunch of fish. Thanks for helping my daughter cast to the shoreline and remove my casts from the trees.
