Response from Charter operatorOur pleasure sir, we are always here for your next day out! appreciate the feedback and hope to see you back again soon!
Kathryn Hayden5.0VerifiedTony was exceptional!
2 Hour Trip • 2 adultswe 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. 🐟🐟

David Glotzbach5.0VerifiedGreat private fishing trip!
2 Hour Trip • 3 adultsOur 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!

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….
