Lucky 13 Charters - Fish Like a Native! 

Capt. Kyle was great. He showed my wife and I around the waters of Siesta Key and Sarasota while giving us some history of the area. He’s a 3rd generation native and his knowledge of the waters was evident as our lines stayed busy all morning. We’ll be booking him again next time we’re in the area.

I highly recommend Captain Kyle we caught over 20 fish and it was our first fishing charter! My son killed it and is still talking about it! Captain Kyle made sure we caught fish! If you're looking for a great charter lucky 13 is it!! Thanks Captain Kyle the Ballman family really had a great time!

I've been fishing in shore here for a few years and consider myself a pretty accomplished angler but my biggest goal and challenge has been chasing tarpon. I just haven't been able to get it, and not for lack of trying. Captain Kyle has a reputation when it comes to connecting with the silver kings so I joined him for a half day and man am I glad I did! We hooked up with multiple tarpon giving me the most exhilarating fight I've ever had on the other end of a fishing rod. Kyle is extremely knowledgable and keeps his equipment in meticulous order and quality. His boat is incredible clean and comfortable and he knows these waters and fish like the back of his hand. I seriously can't say enough about him having gone out a few times on his fishing trips. You find a better host, guide or captain for a Sarasota fishing adventure.

Kyle is wonderful! He made us feel at ease and safe while also ensuring that we had a good time. He was also excellent at communicating before the trip. We caught a lot of fish and were quite happy with our trip. No issues; certainly recommend!

A great morning on the water with Captain Kyle! Snook, Jack, Trout, grouper, catfish! Throw in a manatee and dolphin antics (fun to watch but never a good thing for fishing!) and you have a beautiful day! Thanks Kyle!

This was a dream come true. I always wanted to bring my kids fishing and captain Kyle succeed my expectations. My kids had a blast, they learned how to fish and they enjoyed the strip very much. I totally recommend Lucky 13 for your next fishing trip. Captain is very knowledgeable and very patience with kids. We are definitely doing this again later this year.

One of the best days of fishing I have had in a long time. We started off the morning fishing for snook and ended the trip with Kingfish. Captain Kyle was so knowledgeable of the area and was able to put us on fish for the entire time. He had live bait ready and gear was in tip top shape. His boat is beautiful and clean. I will definitely be fishing with him again!

We had a great time catching various fish with Captain Kyle with his well outfitted Lucky 13 boat. His knowledge of the gulf and near shore waters, fish locations along with all the right rigging and baits made this time together one our best fishing outings ever. Would be my first choice to book again!

Kyle provided my family a very memorable experience. His knowledge of the local waters kept my 9 and 11 year old boys, my wife, and me engaged and wanting to come back for more. The king mackerel, mangrove snapper, and even bonita were delicious.

Kyle was super friendly and knowledgeable and put us on fish very quickly.
