Great time to be fishing!
Its a great time of year to be fishing! There are lots of fish to be caught close to the pass, (which means shorter running times and more time for fishing). Spanish Mackerel, Sheepshead and Redfish are as hot… Read Full Report →

Capt arrived on time only to spend 45 min catching bait. We did catch fish. Threw 98% back (One huge snapper). We paid for five fishermen and never was more than 4 sub standard poles in the water. He ran his prop into some rocks (fishing for bait) and had his trolling motor go out. He was short with the passengers right until it was time to go in… all talk then. Yawned excessively through the trip… got the impression he did not want to be there. I have been on many chartered trips… this was the worst.

After 13 years of charter fishing, we finally got our first bad review and boy you sure didn’t disappoint. I’m sorry the Federal and State government regulations on fish are more strict than you may be accustom to (with all your experience) not much I can do about that. I recommend doing a little research to find out what fish will be in season before you book your charter. If taking home food is your main goal, you’d be better off taking the family to the grocery store instead of fishing for dinner. It’s faster and a fraction of the cost. I apologize for yawning, I may have even coughed or sneezed as well and again I sorry that offended you. It’s true, you can’t please everybody, and hopefully your next charter won’t waste time catching live bait and you only fish with dead squid. Good luck on your next fishing excursion.

This was my son’s first fishing trip, we fish at home but nothing like this. Capt. Harvell (Nicky) was AWESOME he had us on fish the entire time, we moved from spot to spot when the bites stopped but he really knew where to be and when. I am an avid fisherman my son is 8 he took the time to help teach him better techniques and he caught more fish than I did. Definitely the guy we will come back to time and time again

Great experience for our group of four. Took us a while to get the hang of it , but Nicky is polite and patient. We caught flounder ( which we had for an awesome supper ) and relocated to another spot and caught 0 a few different types. The day was perfect. We would do it again !

Conditions were not great, but we were able to catch numerous Spanish Mackerel, Redfish, Sheepshead, and even a flounder. Considering very windy day and not ideal conditions we still landed over 30 fish. Had a good experience with the Captain.

Without a doubt, the best fishing trip I’ve been on. My husband and I went out with Captain Nicky and we couldn’t have imagined a more perfect trip. The weather was perfect and the fish were biting at every stop. I’m definitely not the most experienced fisherman but Captain Nicky was very patient and helpful, which made me feel more comfortable catching fish. We caught our limit on red snappers and even caught some groupers and a cobia. The fishing was amazing and so was dinner thanks to Captain Nicky’s expert knowledge of these waters. We can’t wait to go fishing with him again!
