I'm 48. I've fished for 45 of them. Please allow me to share some time with you doing what we love. And that's being out on the water bending Rods and getting Tight lines. I'm fortunate enough as a local who has fished the Gulf my entire life, to share my passion with you. I make it a point to dig deep and find the fish. Safety first and getting back to the dock is priority, with catching Monster fish, a close second. This Navy Veteran takes Seamanship very seriously. I Welcome everyone. We would be honoured to have you as guests on our deck Salty Siren is the Luckiest little Vessel in the Fleet Her Decks call the Fish up ALL DAY! If you wanna have Fun and Catch fish, this is the Boat! Salty Sam's wants to take you on a Rod Bender 'Good Times, Tight Lines'

    Great Day on the Water!!

    4 Hour Trip (AM)4 adults2 children

    Conditions on the Gulf weren’t favorable, but Captain Sam made the absolute best of it, and we spent an awesome afternoon fishing in the bay. Most importantly, we accomplished our goal, our boys put fish on the boat! Captain Sam was incredibly patient and took his time teaching our boys the ins and outs of fishing. He made the experience fun, comfortable, and memorable for them. I would highly recommend him to anyone taking young children or first-time fishermen out on the water. Sam, thank you for making this an afternoon our family won’t soon forget. On the way back, the boys said it was “the best day of their lives!” We’ll see ya next time.

    Response from Captain

    I really appreciate that. Great boys and a passion for fishing. It makes me feel grea I provided that for them. I love seeing kids fish and they were great. He’ll get that big one in the boat next time. Sea you next time. Tight Lines

    Fun Fishing in Florida🎣🐠

    4 Hour Trip (AM)2 adults

    We had such a great time fishing with Salty Sam’s! 🎣 We caught some triggerfish and vermilion snapper, and Sam worked HARD to put us on fish! He’s a true local who knows the ocean like the back of his hand, and his knowledge really shows. Best of all, he’s just a fun, happy guy who makes the whole trip enjoyable! 😎🌊 If you’re looking for a great fishing trip with someone who knows where the fish are, we definitely recommend Salty Sam’s! 🎣🐟

    Reported catch:
    Gray Triggerfish
    Vermilion Snapper

    Capt. Sam is awesome

    4 Hour Trip (AM)4 adults

    This was an amazing trip! My wife our 2 boys and I went for a 4 hour trip and had a blast. Capt. Sam took us right to the fish. We had a couple Grouper hits right off the bat but we tried to catch some dinner before going after the big guys. We caught a bunch of Mingos a bunch of keepers and some we threw back in. Caught a bunch of other fish and then we went after the Groupers, both boys and I landed Groupers and with minutes left before we needed to head back I hooked up a monster, rod bent in half Sam and I both pulling and reeling and then I lost it. Rookie mistake. Next time I’m in Florida I will book another trip and this time for longer and we will get one of the big guys.

    Reported catch:
    Red Grouper
    Gray Triggerfish
    Vermilion Snapper
    Response from Captain

    Best trip ever!

    4 Hour Trip (AM)2 adults

    We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Sam! From the moment we started the trip, he was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely wanted us to have a great time. He knew exactly where to find the fish and was patient, helpful, and encouraging throughout the entire trip. The boat was clean, the equipment was great, and the whole experience was relaxed and enjoyable. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking to get out on the water and have some fun, I highly recommend booking a trip with him. We made some great memories and will definitely be back!
