we had sn awesome time out today. Captain Colby was at dock geared up and ready when we arrived.  He had an overflowing live well full of bait for us.  We’ve do e other outings where we fished so hard that we ran out and had to switch to artificial bait but not today.  We fished hard, had tons of fish in the boat and more that we lost and the live well was still hopping with bait and there were moments where Colby was flipping off a fish and baiting a hook as fast as he could.  He worked hard for his clients today!(my family). I appreciated that he did all the work today and I was able to enjoy some quality fishing.  Back home aboard our 19’ Whaler I’m the guy working hard yo keep the kid’s line baited and in the water while steering the boat.  Today Captain Colby did that extremely professionally and everyone caught more than expected.  highlights from the day include: double hook ups…a Florida trifecta, Snook-Trout-Redfish, multi species as kids requested… “I’ve never seen a salt water catfish”, “first snook”,  “what’s a yellow jack”, “first redfish”, “will we catch mango snapper”, “will we catch anythig we can eat”???  I cant say that Captain Colby could produce the same awesome day for you and your family but I’d bet he will do everything he can to try!  And thats as good as you can expect in todays world.  Pictures say it all. We kept enough to eat tonight and released more than we expected to catch.

Colby met us on a cold weather front and put us on fish. He pulled every trick and all of the knowledgeable experience he had out of the hat to make what could have been a tough trip with other charters, not our case. One my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed. We had multiple “quantity” fish and then moved into “quality” towards the end. Great guide and captain we will be back during season to smack the trophy’s with Colby. No doubt Colby knows the waters, called out fish and techniques, and produced.

We had a group of three adults and three kids and had a blast! Captin Colby knew were to go to keep the lines busy. Over all we had at least 60 fish in the boat on a 4 hour trip and Captin Colby keep the entire trip filled between bites talking about the area and teaching everyone about the different species we were catching. We caught Snook, Trout, Red Fish, Flounder, Lady Fish, and even landed a few Sharks at our last spot. Plenty of keepers to feed the group! Highly recommend.

We were on fish the whole time! Kids were entertained the whole trip with all the action. Colby coached our kids really well how to reel them in. By the end of the trip our 7yr old was pulling them in by himself! Mom and Dad doubled on two nice Gag Grouper!! We left with a big bag of fish!

My wife, daughter and I just finished our day on the water with Captain Colby, and what a great day it was!  We’ve chartered quite a few fishing trips over the years, but this one really sticks out as exceptional. Communication prior to the trip was excellent, and every detail was covered to ensure we got what we expected.  Captain Colby obviously is very passionate about both catching fish as well as ensuring that his customers are comfortable and having fun. He put us on top of a large school of trout which resulted several double and triple headers. Captain Colby’s boat is extremely clean, and all tackle including rods, reels are of top notch quality.  If you lose your fish on a Captain Coby trip you can’t blame the fishing pole or reel!. After growing tired of catching fish, we asked Captain Colby if we could try another spot - Immediately he was preparing to start moving.  A few minutes later and we were fishing a mile or two away and once again the fish began attacking our baits.  This repeated itself multiple times, and then, all to quickly, we were back at the dock where Captain Colby fileted our catch and entertained the Pelicans.  We had a great time with Captain Colby, and plan on looking him up when future plans bring us back to this area.  If anyone reading this is looking for a successful day on the water with a knowledgeable guide who can quickly get you on fish, Captain Colby won’t let you down.
