Had a great day with Captain Louis aboard the Mac-Attack! Now enjoying the freshest Grouper and snapper in SW FL! Captain Louis is a great teacher, knows the hot spots that aren’t overfished, has excellent gear/ tackle with a smooth ride…can’t wait to book again
Thank you I look forward to next time
We got there early and he was waiting on us fully prepared. He took us straight out to where the fish was biting and started hooking us up. We caught. Lane snapper, mangrove snapper and grunt. We wanted to have something to eat, and we went home Happy. He was very knowledgeable and always ready to give great friendly advice as he noticed when we needed. we were all very happy with the experience he provided.
thank you and I look forward to next time Captain Lewis
Because of the conditions we switched from a trolling trip to an offshore reef booking. Captain MacDonald put us on the fish immediately. He’s fished the waters near Englewood for decades and has charted the reefs for species and numbers taken on particular dates, so there’s a good chance that he will take you to the right location at the right time. We got bites as soon as the lines hit bottom. My son was cranking in Lane snappers and small groupers for nearly the entire time we were out. (Only one spot was a bust.) The skipper gave sound advice on letting the fish take the bait for two or three bumps before starting to reel—which worked very well for my son. I had some trouble breaking myself of the habit to jerk the pole to set the hook; this just yanks the hook away from these fish. Most of the catch were not keepers—though many were very close. My son hooked two strong pole benders—one sounded and got into the reef; the other threw the hook a moment before netting. I hauled up a 26” 8 pound grouper. With the big guy and five good Lanes it was a fine take. Again, there was action all day. The tackle was perhaps a wee bit light and the reels old though it was certainly up to the task and made for exciting fights. The vessel has a comfortable cabin and it’s fast, which is important when the hot spots are a long way out.
thank you
We had an amazing time out on the water with Captain Lewis! The boat was great! The inside cabin was really comfortable. All six of us were able to catch fish and we had an amazing Octopus catch. The Captain was knowledgeable and got us on some good fishing spots. Everyone went home with a huge smile and soon to be full bellies.
thank you and I look forward to next time
We had a wonderful time. We have three young children and Captain Lewis was very patient with them and helped them everytime they needed it. We all jad fun catching fish. He kept us comfortable and was fun to talk with. Would definitely charter him again.
thank you and I look forward to next time Captain Lewis
Captain Lewis is one of the best captains we've had the opportunity to fish with. beautiful boat with tons of room. We were on the fish from the minute we dropped anchor until the trip ended. captain Lewis expertly fileted them at the end of the trip. overall highly recommend Mac Attack charters!
thank you and I look forward to next time Captain Lewis
