It’s called FISHING. First, we have had some bad luck with weather interfering with our fishing plans. So we were pretty adamant to go out today even if we have to stick to inshore. Second, We had a BLAST!!! Captain Matt and Mike were both enjoyable to be around. We had a blast just having good conversation in the cabin, but the fishing was a huge bonus. We caught soo many, a bunch we had to throw back, some were snack for our Flipper friends, but some of them gave a good fight all the way into the boat. We can’t wait to try some new King recipes! We especially can’t wait to plan our next adventure!!

I have been on several private charter trips, but this one by far was the best.  We ended up being moved from deep water to short fuse due to the captain of deep water needing a personal day to spend with his daughter on her birthday.  I could tell by talking to “Sam” which by the way, is short for Samantha that this was a family oriented ran charter.  We were on our first hole in just under 1 1/2 and immediately started catching fish.  If no one was getting bites within a few minutes, we pulled up bait and went to a different spot.  You could definitely tell that the captain was trying to get fish in the boat.  Shawn, our deckhand was awesome!  Super easy going, energetic, patient, entertaining and visibly enjoyed what he was doing.  I took my two teenage sons,two of their friends and my wife.  Shawn made sure to involve everyone on deck and kept us all laughing.  I highly recommend this charter to anyone who is wanting the “whole” experience of a private charter.  My family and I will definitely book with Sam next summer.  I would like to use this platform to personally thank Sam, Rebecca, Captain Mark and Shawn!

What an absolute blast!! Captain Mat put us on some fish early on and Logan was an awesome deckhand, very helpful and skilled! A storm rolled though mid trip so we rode it out and was able to end out the day casting a few more lines. It was such an awesome experience and hands down the best time of our vacation!!  Sam stayed in contact and treated my family and I with such hospitality. We lucked up finding this crew on fishing booker!  They even shared a recipe to cook the snapper, tried it the following night and MAN was it delicious! Thanks Captain Mat, Logan, Sam and the entire crew with Reel Deal for the awesome experience! 10/10 recommend!!!

Booked a 2hr dolphin tour, when booking asked if we could get a line wet and they gladly accommodated our request. Amazing crew and will definitely be using there service again in the future. We all had a blast the kids didn’t want to get off the boat. Can’t wait till we book the next trip.

Booked a 14hr trip on Short Fuse - Well worth it!

Stopped for live bait on the way out, and watched the sun rise as we trolled out to open water early. Before we knew it, we were landing arm length Red Snapper!

“Cowboy” Shawn kept us reelin’ em in as he tended to everyone on board quickly. Line? Hook? Gaff? Cowboy Shawn has you covered!

Thanks Short Fuse & Crew!
Awesome day & awesome catch!

Thanks to Sam for the easy booking experience, and making sure no lines were crossed!
