3/4 Day Trip

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

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

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

I come down to visit my buddy every year. The last couple years that we have gone out fishing we didn’t catch much, let alone a keeper. Within 5 minutes of casting our first lines we were catching fish! Captain Mike was super friendly and knew where the fish were biting. We caught our limit for Redfish and Captain Mike cleaned them for us so we could have them for dinner. Some of the best fish I’ve ever had! This was some of the most fun I had on my vacation. I highly recommend Captain Mike... More

Captain Mike was a great guide. From the start, he was punctual and informed us of everything we’d be doing for the day. He also had a livewell full of good baits to last us all day. The fishing on our specific day was alittle tough. Fish were being very finicky and it was much windier than the forecast projected to be, however Mike still found a way to get us on some fish. Would recommend Mike every time for a guide in Matlacha!!! See you soon Mike!

Hey Jacob! Thank you very much for the kind words and great review! We will get those fish! It was truly unbelievable how every hook pulled right at the boat on those red fish and then the ordeal with the stingray was hilarious.😂😂 enjoyed the day with you both!!
