Half Day morning trip

Captain Mike Moran is an outstanding guide and person. He’s a consummate professional and really works his tail off to put you on fish. Mike knows his trade well. He grew up fishing these waters and it shows. My wife Steph and I had an absolutely fantastic trip today and despite the tough conditions still managed to hook some really nice snook despite my crappy casting! Do yourself a favor and book a trip with Mike. He’s a great guide with a beautiful skiff, and a tremendous personality. ... More

You cannot do better than to book with Mike. On top of being a super kind and professional guide, he is a wealth of knowledge. On a cool, windy, gray day (challenging conditions), he put us on snook, redfish, sheepshead, and trout. In fact, we caught our limit of trout (he caught 3 keepers), which he graciously filleted for me. I cannot recommend Mike enough. It was a really fun day, and I will definitely book with him, again. Thank you, Mike! 😃🙌

Mike was great! He grew up on these waters so he was very knowledgeable. As an ex local, that also grew up here, I knew we were in good hands. He has great gear and and a great boat. He got us on the fish right away! I caught my pb snook and redfish within the first hour. We actually lost count how many we caught. After the bite slowed down, we took a trip to Cayo Costa and saw some dolphins then got to see some manatees up close. I highly recommend booking him! The pictures dont lie! I will be... More

We had a FANTASTIC time with Captain Mike! He is knowledgeable about the waters that we fished in. He also has an innate love for nature. So, if you’re a naturalist, you will absolutely enjoy his time and energy. We had a half day excursion, and we caught numerous species of fish. However, the most abundant species that we caught were Snook. They ranged from approximately 1-1.5lbs to 8lbs. We also caught an approximately 8-10lb Red Fish, Cat Fish, and some other small fish. We got a... More

It was early in the season. One of the first days of nice weather. We caught fish but nothing legal. Any day fishing is better than any other.

Thank you Scott!! I had a good time fishing with you, enjoyed your company. Thanks for staying patient, even though the bite was slow. Trust me, it bothers me more than you, when its slow. Drives me crazy!!! 🤪🤪🤪 I hope you have a great time at the baseball game. thanks again, give me a holler anytime. Mike
