The trip was great , and all of the reviews I had read were spot on . Capt Mike and Blake were great , they explained everything to us which was really good as we had my grandson and nephew young sister in law who had never been deep sea fishing . Captain Mike put us on fish , then when we got them up to the boat Blake took care of the rest . Captain Mike came down and made us a snack of fresh tuna ( which we can’t stop talking about ) , then we went to catching more fish . Thanks Captain Mike and Blake for such a all around great trip Can’t wait to book another trip with you .

We started out in light rain but a lightening storm came in with high winds and was going to linger in the area for hours so we had to stop fishing but just trolling for the short time we did we caught 2 king mackerel. We couldn’t go the next few days with captain mike because he does such a good job getting people on the fish he was booked up for the rest of the week but he got us a trip the next day on a friend of his boat which was a good thing because that was my nephews last day down here. Thanks a lot captain mike and his awesome first mate /deck hand Blake !

We caught fish while trolling out and bottom fished. This was my first saltwater fishing trip and my daughter’s also.
It was so much fun. Captain Mike and his deck hand, Blake were friendly,knowledgeable, and informative.
The best part is, WE CAUGHT FISH!!!

The trip exceeded our expectations greatly!! Capt Mike put us right on top of the fish! His experience paid off and he put us where we needed to be to limit out. Cory (1st mate) is awesome!!! This was our first time to deep sea fish and he demonstrated how to work the rig and worked hard to make sure we had the rig and bait we needed. We loved it so much we have already booked our trip for next year!

We had a good time fishing. The weather wasn’t ideal but we made it through. The Captain did all he could to keep us standing up and fishing as the water was rough. The Capt and his assistant were both very nice and helpful. We would definitely use them again and hope for better weather and water conditions.

Second year in a row and both were absolutely perfect! Cpt. Mike worked hard to plan ahead as weather was changing from day to day, but it worked out perfectly. He really knows his business and more importenly to us, is how he makes our trip to fit our desires and intrests. We actualy felt welcome. None of this” hurry up and get the day done”. We caught plenty of fish and the first mate worked tirelessly. Our 7-tear old son had a ball and wanted to go again the next day! We highly recommend Cpt. Mike and Sure Shot Charters and we plan future trips with them!!

This was not our first fishing charter but we will make every effort to book with Capt Mike and Mason for all future trips. The boat was VERY clean and well equipped. Mason was the friendliest most helpful deckhand we’ve had. Both were very knowledgable about the area, sea life, and the waters. Captain Mike did a great job at finding fish and with a little luck we had an awesome day of fishing. They offered tips on the best ways to preserve and cook the types of fish we caught. I appreciated this since we caught about 100 pounds of uncleaned fish!!
This trip was just me and my husband but I would feel perfectly comfortable booking with Sure Shot when we return with our kids. I would highly recommend Capt Mike and Mason with Sure Shot any day!!Tracy Perez recommends Sure Shot Fishing ChartersFished August 2016

Captain Mike was great! Deckhand Corey was great as well. I had my 2 teenage kids and stepdad with me who have never been deep sea fishing before. We had a blast. We caught several King and Spanish Mackrel, and a couple of Tuna. When we got back, Mike mixed some marinade and we ate the Tuna right there in the spot. That taste of the fresh caught Tuna was worth the trip! We had fun, and I highly recommend Mike and Sure Shot. I’ve been a few times, and Mike knows what he’s doing. Next time, I’m booking a longer trip to go after Red Snapper with Mike. Thanks, Mike and Corey!

I cannot say enough about Captain Mike, First Mate Johnny and Sure Shot Charters. We had a wonderful time and caught the limit on trigger fish including a 9.4 lb trigger fish and an estimated 25 lb red snapper. If you want to hire a charter I highly recommend Sure Shot and Captain Mike. You will have a great time and catch lots of fish!!!!!

Our charter began with windy weather perdictions for late morning hours. Capt. Mike discussed this with us up front and gave us options. We chose to try, and sure enough strong winds showed up after trolling for a hour or so. We were offered the charter again the next day, but could not work it in our short stay. I’ve chartered close to 125 fishing boats and never had a better charter to work with than SURE SHOT CHARTERS. Boat was very clean and crew was very helpful with everything, especially Capt. Mike!!!! Plan to come down later in the summer, or for sure next year. I appreciate their efforts and “highly” recommend them. My wife and seven year old son had a great time anyway.Thank you SURE SHOT CHARTERS!!

We booked this trip last minute, through a Google search (which brought us to this website). After careful review of each captains experience, we loved captain mikes! The overall experience did NOT disappoint. We called him the day before to confirm all the details. He talked to us for a while about what to expect, what to bring, etc. We met at the dock and he helped load us up. We traveled with 2 young boys (age 10). He kept them entertained the entire time. The boat was super clean throughout. Mason, his deck hand was just as awesome. He was there to help all of us bait and bring in all of our fish. There was never a dull moment in our trip. At ever stop, Mike made sure we were catching something. At the end, the boys got to ride up top with Mike. Mason was a rock star- cleaned our fish up at the end so we could take them next door to eat. We will definatley return to this private charter. It was just what we needed on this spring break trip, and worth every penny! We were able to catch plenty of fish and had an amazing time. Thanks Captain Mike and Mason!

What a great day! Six adults (2 male, 4 female) with no fishing experience caught a bunch of King Mackeral, mahi, and a trophy sailfish (which was released). Will certainly fish with Captain Mike and Frank the next time we vacation in the Gulf Area. When booking, make sure to ask about the harvest season for the exact day of your adventure. We wanted Red Snapper, but they were considered out of season during the weekdays. Crazy Federal law; it’s ok to catch them on weekends, but not on weekdays? Regardless, it was a great experience.

I reasearched trips and captains endlessly and I have to say I may the perfect choice!! Look no further than Sure Shot with Captain Mike!!! The pricing is right in the middle of other charters but let me tell you this trip is TOTALLY worth your money!!! Captain Mike made sure a great time was had by all and was very accommodating! This was a trip of a lifetime. We caught several fish and he even made up some mackerel sushi right there on the boat!!! I promise you will not be dissapointed with this choice if you are looking to catch some fish AND have a great time!

At first I was a little skeptical about booking a fishing trip via Fish Booker .We had a beautiful day on board the Sure Shot. With Captain Mike and Frankie we caught a lot of fish. We caught Bonita, Mackerel and one large Amber Jack. We caught so many fish we ended up throwing several back. We took the some of the fish to Flora-Bama right by the dock and had lunch. Later we took some of the fish to Fishers and had an excellent meal with the chef coming out and explaining out he would prepare eh three fish types. We had enough fish for another lunch, another dinner in the condo and gave some away. Just a few of the fish below.

Don’t hesitate to book Captain Mike and deck hand Frankie on the Sure Shot. We chartered a morning 4 hour trolling trip with 3 adults and 3 kids, ages 12, 9, and 7. The Sure Shot was very clean and a comfortable size for our group. Mike and Frankie got us fishing 10 minutes after we left the dock on time at 7am. We spent the morning trolling and catching Spanish Mackerel. Frankie did all the work setting the lines and lures. We just had a great time with the kids reeling in the fish. To top if off Frankie made us ceviche from the catch right on the boat as we motored back to the dock. Captain Mike was great to work with and made sure we had a great experience. Overall it was a memorable family time, and we will be back next year on the Sure Shot.

My son, brother in-law, and myself booked a four hour troll with Captain Mike and Frankie. They are both very professional and they worked very hard to maximize our chances of catching fish. They had the lines in the water at the earliest possible time and left them in until the last possible minute. Frankie worked hard to make sure the hooks always had fresh bait on. In addition Captain Mike and Frankie were a lot of fun being around. They shared a lot of funny stories and interesting points about fishing and living in the area. They were both born and raised on the gulf coast.
We caught seven fish. Six were big enough to keep. Four King Mackerels and two Bonita’s. I thought we did pretty good. There was a boat nearby that wasn’t catching anything. When we got back to the dock. Frankie had the fish cleaned right away. In addition Captain Mike cleaned the Bonita and took out the loin. He cut up the loin right there on the dock. We dip it in soy sauce, wasabi, and mustard and ate it right there. It was delicious. Captain Mike then directed us to FloraBama Yacht Club where they cooked some of the mackerel up for lunch we grilled the rest for dinner. It was all very delicious.
I am looking forward to booking another trip with Captain Mike and “Sure Shot”.
