Me, wife, father-in-law and 10-year-old daughter went out for 1/2 day morning trip. Caught a ton of mackerel and trout… and others. Perfect day. Thanks.

Donny took our family of four out and caught a ton of fish.  Donny was knowledgeable and found some great spots.

Captain Donny was excellent!  Patient with the kids, told them age appropriate jokes, and made sure each was getting their turn to bring in fish.  He used his experience to find excellent spots and even find a new one when we couldn’t get the snook to bite.  We caught mangrove snapper, snook (of course), mackerel, seatrout, needlefish, pinfish, reef shark, flounder, ladyfish, and an unfortunate number of saltwater catfish.  All in only four hours.  We kept 8 snapper (two of which he caught to make sure we had enough), 3 mackerel, and 3 seatrout; all of which he fileted for us when we got back to the dock.  In all, I think we pulled in around 50 fish.  I won’t be looking for another charter the next time we go out, Reel Experience was perfect!

My wife and I had a trip with Capt. Donny for a midweek trip but weather wasn’t good so went on Friday. 10min. from ramp we are trout fishing waiting on tide. Caught a couple then moved. Snook were everywhere and caught 8-10 in about 30 min. The fish just shut down could see them but they wouldn’t bite. Moved to a few more spots with little action but that’s how fishing is. Made a move back to a spot that was slow and bam fish everywhere. We probably caught 40 for the 6 hr trip we had. I want to thank Donny for paying attention to my wife as an angler not just someone else on the boat. She out fished me numbers and size wise. I would recommend Capt. Donny for anyone who is a seasoned angler or a novice or anywhere inbetween. He will make sure everyone is catching and for those of us like me gives a little ribbing getting out fished by their better half. Been on more than 20 charters and trust me when I say he’s a class act and we will be back on his boat every time we are in the area.
