    Captain Mike is a pro.

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) • 2 adults

    My sixteen year old son and I had a fantastic day with Captain Mike. He got us out to where the fish were, understood our level of familiarity with the equipment, and kept us on the bite. All that, plus he was a really great guy. I will 100% seek Captain Mike out next time I’m in the Pensacola, Gulf Shores area. The extra drive was worth the expertise and great experience he gave us.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Mr. Jonathan for the kind words . Come see again when you make it back. Thanks Capt Mike

    Half day trip

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) • 2 adults

    Had an awesome time with Captian Mike. Really friendly and good conversations. Didn't get into any keepers but it wasnt from lack of knowledge or experience from the Captian just bad storms the few days prior that had the water all messed up.

    Response from Captain

    Thanks Jason looking forward to seeing you guys again .

    Captain Mike was awesome. He found the fish and kept me on the spot. I had a fish on every cast. It didn’t start that way. Captain Mike kept searching until we found them and finished they day with success. I’ll be back.

    Had a wonderful fun and fish filled day! Captain Mike is wonderful, fun and polite. We caught lots of fish. Lost a couple to sharks or dolphins. But, I highly recommend Capt Mike especially for the inexperienced. Look forward to seeing him again soon.

    We had a great time. The water was rough but wasn’t the captains fault. We didn’t get to keep a lot of fish either because of the season not his fault either. The experience was great we want to do it in the summer when we can keep more of our catch
