Great day on the water!

Capt Wade put us on fish after fish. We wanted to target Sheepshead and he took us to a few spots where we caught some nice keepers!

Great trip with a knowledgeable captain
5/5
We had great time. The communication from the captain Wade, before the trip was very timely. We started catching fish from the very first cast. After a while he took us to another spot and we caught even more fish there. We caught a few keepers; Sea trout and sheepshead and he suggested a restaurant that cooked the fish for us. Overall a five star experience.

Great time!!!

We talked to Captain Zach prior to the trip and asked him to put us on some fish for fish tacos, then go for some game fish, like redfish or snook. That’s EXACTLY what he did!! We had 6 to 8 sheepshead in the boat before the motor could even cool down. Caught about 15-20 fish (tacos baby!!) then moved on to try a couple other spots. The last hour we fished the mangroves and Captain Zach put us on reds as well as some more sheepshead. We couldn’t have been happier, great trip!!

Fantastic trip and communication by Capt. Dave. The 2 hour trip was perfect for our scheduled and budget. We were catching fish 25 minutes after leaving the dock. Ladyfish, Spanish Mackerel, Sheepshead, and Snapper.

Captain Tony started us off easy, giving us early success with Sheepshead. Moved on to some Mangrove snapers and finally into some Snook and over size Reds. We had a blast,
Captain Tory was very gracious with helping me with a physical limitation (getting over a broken ankle) made it possible to take on a big fish. Will be doing this again.
