Dawn Allebach5.0VerifiedGreat Captain
4 Hour Nearshore Fishing Trip • 5 adultsWe had an amazing day on the water and with Captain Steve. Our party of 5 consisted of 3 men, 2 women and of course the most important or Captain. I believe early in our journey we caught a barracuda some yellow snapper. Then hooked up with a couple of gag grouper. We went in short to hook up with some snook. Captain Steve was a gentleman, professional, and on top of everything. I highly highly recommend recommended booking him for your fishing adventure. Thank you so very much Captain Steve!

Jeremy Brech5.0VerifiedGreat Family Experience
4 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing • 5 adultsStephen was awesome. I am a little impatient along with my daughter and thought we would be bored, but Stephen knew the hot spots to fish and were were catching nice size fish left and right. We had a family of 5 and everyone and we had so much fun and so much fish. Stephen cleaned the fish and we took them to Lock and Key with our fish were the cooked them to our request. Truly the way to go for taste and affordability. I'm not big into fishing, but I would do this everyday if I could. We caught so many fish we had extra time so we went to the sandbar and found awesome shells, starfish, sea urchins, and watch dolphins. Well worth the family experience.

Chad B5.0VerifiedGood fun had by all
6 Hr. Tarpon Fishing Trip • 3 adultsThe Captain was on time and ready to go. Hit a little rain while fishing for the bait but they hit good and fast. The tarpon on the other hand didn't feel like eating today. Not for a lack of trying. The bull sharks on the other hand we got a few of them. We all had a great time.
Response from CaptainGlad yall had a good time!!!
