Capt. Mike runs trips out of Georgetown aboard a 19’ Mako center console. These waters are known for Redfish and Sharks and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're popping or bottom fishing. With great knowledge of the area, he has a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join him out on the water!

Ron and his wife were in my boat yesterday. Slow start but we finished strong with some nice shallow water bull reds. Hooked 5 and landed 4. Its going to keep getting better with some big schools of bull reds showing up in the Bay in September.

I don't post a lot here. Most of my clients are repeats from many years of guiding. I'm semi-retired , meaning I fish for myself more than I guide these days. I enjoyed a great day chasing tarpon alone on 8/20/25. Bull red season will kick in soon and I'm good as any, better than most at putting clients on those also. Limited openings available. This isn't bragging it's the facts from a lifelong guiding career giving 110% every time. Enjoy time spent on the water regardless of the outcome. Very Limited openings available rest of the fishing season
