We gave some freedom as far as what we wanted to fish for. We blocked a 6hr trip and just asked him to show these Midwest boys a fun time. He absolutely did that! They had a blast trying out all kind of fishing…Tarpon, king Mackerel, Snapper, red fish. They had an absolute ball!! Thank you Mike for a great morning on the water.

Highly recommend!! Captain mike was very friendly.  Family had great conversations with him and he was very attentive to my kids.  He got us into fish right away and when they stopped biting we moved to another spot where we were getting more fish.  I would definitely recommend Captain Mike and we will be back fishing with him in the future.

Captain Mike was a wonderful guide. He worked hard to get us our limit of Red Snapper . I had mentioned when I booked the trip that I had recently , within the last year and a half ,  had both knees replaced . Captain Mike went above and beyond to see to it that I was comfortable and that I had a good trip . He helped me onto and off of the boat . I highly recommend Captain Mike Dates of First Shot Charters . My wife and I will be booking trips with him in the future .
