Captain Michael provided a great trip. The high rating he has online is warranted. He provided everything we needed to have a great time. Knowledgeable about the area and how to target fish.  He put us on the fish and even gave out a lot of information on tips and tricks he uses. You can tell the passion he has for fishing and making sure his guests have a great time. One of the few times that I was on a trip with a guide and the captain didn’t fish. When asked about it his response was I’m... More

Can’t say enough about Mike and chum em’ up! I’ve been on quite a few inshore charters and this was the best! Very knowledgeable captain, super friendly and knows where the fish are biting! I brought my son and father in law and we all had a blast! Son caught a tarpon on the first cast of the day and I knew we made the right choice! Rods stayed bent for the rest of the trip! We will be going out with him again! Thanks Mike

Captain Mike worked to find the fish, caught a few fish at several spots. My cousin did catch his 1st Snook and Trout, both nice fish!  The Mangrove Snappers were fun to catch. Not a bad day even though the air and water temps have been cold. I will use Captain Mike / Chum em up Charters again.

Captain Mike has got to be the best fisherman I’ve ever had the privilege to fish with. My son and I will never forget this fishing trip. The man knows what he’s doing. Ten minutes after we casted we started reeling in big fish, after an hour we had caught 2 4ft bull sharks and by the time we were done we had reeled in 5 fish total. Thank you for the great time Mike! So if your wanting to catch some sharks and have a good relaxing time, I advise you to call Captain Mike-The Beast In The East

Captain Mike was awesome. Had a trip scheduled for 9am, but the weather didn’t want to cooperate, it poured all morning. Mike communicated with us all morning and was patient enough to hold off till the afternoon to take us out. He knew all the spots to hit. But the highlight was seeing the dolphin about 3 ft from the boat as he was hunting for dinner. Thanks Captain Mike for a great day and a memorable trip. We will definitely recommend and be using Chum em up Charters on our next trip to Punta... More
