    Indiana vacationers

    Shark Fishing • 6 adults • 2 children

    So, we’re from Indiana, we book these guys, and can’t tell you how awesome they are! Me, my son, my father and best friend fish daily back home, we show up half hour late cuz of Burger King, there I said it, and these two young men just absolutely blew us away. From their kind, forgiving demeanor, to their vast amount of angling knowledge, they just kept making things better. We caught two great fish, one big one little, and they even stayed a half hour late so we made sure to keep trying for more. And to me, that’s irreplaceable, because it wasn’t their fault we missed the first half hour. That’s integrity at its finest, and just plain good business!!!

    Reported catch:
    Bull Shark

    Fantastic trip

    2 Hour Inshore Fishing/Eco Tour • 2 adults

    Captain John and his First Mate were fantastic. John had a very specific plan to put us onto as many fish as possible. He and his First Mate were extremely helpful and friendly. We were blessed to meet them, had a great time fishing and enjoyed a terrific evening on the water. John filleted the fish back at the dock for us. We would absolutely go back out with him in the future.

    Reported catch:
    Bluefish (Tailor)
    Redfish

    John and Martin were excellent! Even though it was windy, they were able to put us on some fish. They stayed out a little longer than our booked time so that we would get into some action. The sunset was amazing. We saw manatee and dolphin We couldn’t have asked for a better time out on the water. We’re coming back in October.!
