    Amazing Trip for younger kids

    2 Hour Trip • 4 adults • 1 child

    Amazing experience. Was my 3rd attempt to take my 9 year old fishing. First attempt the weather got us, 2nd attempt he didn't get any bites. Captain Greg knew the exact right spots to go to, we did the 2 hour morning trip and caught over 20 fish, a mix of red fish, trout, snook and even a needle fish. Greg was great and patient with my son who knows everything there is about fishing from watching YouTube videos :) Would highly recommend for a family looking for a shorter trip that will keep young kids attention and catch plenty of fish.

    Reported catch:
    Snook
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout

    Tony was exceptional!

    2 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    we caught Snook and trout! First cast out I caught a 31” Snook!! We were hoping for trout and got plenty. I would hire him again in a heart beat! If tge fish weren’t biting in one pkave, he moved to another place. He was a gentleman as we are two lady anglers. He earned every cent and then some. He was very attentative to making sure our bait was still alive and viable. He wasn’t at all invasive. pne of us is a seasoned angler and he knew if our organization and is a supporter. Don’t hesitate to contract with tjis company. 🐟🐟

    Reported catch:
    Snook
    Speckled Trout

    Great private fishing trip!

    2 Hour Trip • 3 adults

    Our captain, Greg, was awesome. He was very informative, knowledgeable and experienced. He knew all the good spots on Little Sarasota Bay. Three of us caught a dozen fish in 2 hours. Snook, Redfish, and others. Greg cleaned and filleted for us the ones we kept. I would definitely recommend it to those looking for a private short fishing trip!

    Reported catch:
    Snook
    Mangrove Snapper

    Half day morning trip

    4 Hour Trip (8 AM) • 2 adults

    Tony was an incredible guide for our half day morning trip, searching for some sheepshead and snapper. We caught a whole bunch of those, which later made for some excellent fish tacos. We also caught a couple snooks, and stopped and caught some shiner to use for bait using some chum and net which was really cool to see. I highly recommend Tony for anyone in search of guide in Siesta Key. We'd be happy to use him again the next time we come here.

    Reported catch:
    Snook
    Mangrove Snapper

    We had a great time! Our captain, Greg, was very attentive and did his best to put us on the fish. We caught several snook, a 33-inch Red, and a nice snapper. Overall, our first trip was a great success.

    Kevin was awesome. Our lines were always baited and in the water. We caught a number of different kinds of fish with some of them being good size ones. Would use them again without a doubt.

Snook and redfish have been plentyful on every trip daily catching most of our fish right away in the mornings and once the sun creeps over and starts to cool off fish are getting really active and hungry…. Bait or choice right now is a heavy dose of shinners getting in the flats befor my charters first light and loading the boat with bait/shinners every day secures an awesome charter with alot of action.. tho it can get pretty steamy on the boat fish are bitting real well and some nice trophys to be caught book your trip now and make a memory…. Tight lines
