I fish with my grandson and granddaughter today 15 years of age Captain Mike knows every slew backwater canal right down to what dock you’ll find a snook hiding. Captain Mike works exceptionally hard to make sure that you’re on the fish you won’t spend more than 15-20 minutes of downtime before it’s time to go to find fish that want to bite can’t wait till next year when I come down and do it again with him.

I did a solo trip with mike..  He’s a great captain and person.  The bite was slow on the day I went but thats the way fishing goes..  He worked hard to get me on some fish though.  We hooked in to several different species of fish…trout,snapper, snook and sheep head.  We stayed out later than the orginal end time.  He wanted to make sure that I had some keepers to take home.  I thought it was a very stand up thing to do.  I appreciated his gesture.  I was still happy with the...

Mike is a phenomenal Captain and fisherman!! He was knowledgeable and accommodating! When the fish stopped biting, he took us to a different spot and we caught fish ALL DAY LONG!! When we got back to the dock, Mike filleted all of the fish we caught. This is the top fishing excursion I’ve ever had in Florida and I would highly recommend booking a fishing trip with Mike!!!!

Micheal is an exceptional fisherman with much knowledge of the area. He was great company and answered all of my questions I had asked. It was a fun day we caught snapper, snook, puffer, trout and sheepshead all very close to my Airbnb. If your looking for an affordable trip with a guy that knows his stuff I highly recommend Michael @ Chum Em Up Charters! See you again, thanks!

Micheal was fantastic. He’s got a personality that is like we’ve been friends for years. He cares about the people on his boat and made sure everything was perfect. Recommend 1000%
