    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 5 adults • 2 children

    What a fantastic day! Within 3 minutes of dropping anchor we hooked a good size bonnethead shark. Minutes we landed a 47 inch redfish. The look on my grandson's face will stay in my memory for a long time. Altogether we landed 4 giant redfish, 2 bonnethead sharks, and even 2 huge stingrays. Even though we were out of time and headed back, Ethan saw some tarpon feeding. He stopped and we spent an additional 30 minutes trying to hook one. Great captain, great boat and equipment. Truly worth the experience. One we won't forget.

    I booked this trip for my husband's birthday with some of his guy friends. Captain Ethan responded quickly to my questions and was very pleasant and professional. My husband and all the other guys truly had a good time and spoke highly of Captain Ethan and would definitely book another trip in the future.

    Epic day!

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 4 adults • 1 child

    I booked a 4-hour trip, well worth the extra time. Started with several shark species and a stingray into the boat. Captain knew the waters and was friendly and proffessional. As we casted lines looking for redfish at a different location, captain saw the birds diving, picked up anchor and flew over to the site. just in time for the feeding frenzy where we landed a 35lb redfish. My boys were very excited and we all had a great trip!

    my man put us on fish!

    10 Hour Trip – Tarpon/Bull Redfish • 3 adults

    we didnt get the fish we were after but it was no fault of the captain or crew. these guys were awesome! worked their tails off for us to give every oppertunity to land the tarpon of a lifetime. we hooked up on what seemed like a giant!!! but it didnt work out. thats fishing though! would highly reccomend this young man to anyone wanting to take a trip. very knowledgeable on the water, the fish, and (thankfully lol) the weather. we were on fish all day.

    Response from Captain

    Johnny, thank you so much for the awesome review! We gave it everything we had to make that tarpon bite happen, and I hate that we didn’t get that one to the boat—but that’s fishing sometimes. I’m glad y’all had a great time and I greatly appreciate the kind words and hope to have y’all back again soon for another shot at that giant!

    All around great trip

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore • 3 adults • 1 child

    We caught fish from the start. trolling offshore a few miles. we filled a box of bluefish, jacks, ladyfish. Made a run back inshore to find some tarpon. No luck on the tarpon but we found a school of sharks and for 2 hours we caught one right after another. Ethan is a great captain and runs a well kept boat. i highly recommend for all experience levels
