Puctures say it all. Great experience I will never forget. Xavier has tremendous skills spotting very subtle water disturbances and studying the depth finder to put you right on the fish.

We surprised our oldest daughter with a big surprise weekend for her 12th birthday. Xavier made her feel special and helped get her on some serious fish. On top of fishing we got to see some dolphins and Manatees which was an awesome surprise. It was a beautiful morning out there and can’t say enough good things about Close Encounters.

We got out around 6am hoping to sight cast some big bull reds. My wife and I have experience catching reds before,  but never on the flats sight casting.  Within an hour we rolled up on a pretty big school. Emily casted on the edge of the school and managed to hook up. The day pretty much stayed that way. Catch and releasing reds for a couple hours.  Later we moved on to some trout and more solo fish. Overall great experience and fun guide to fish with.
