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 .

Capt Mike handled our trip from beginning to end. We were on the fish we were looking for immediately after we got on the water. We caught all the fish we wanted and more. One of the best trips ever. Look forward to coming back next year!

We had a pretty good time. Only bummer was the boat was smaller than I expected for the price of the trip and the weather wasn’t the greatest so we couldn’t go into the gulf which was the one thing I wanted to do. Captain mike made sure we went home with a catch tho. We got several Spanish mackerel. They are an easy catch tho and I wish we could have had more variety of fish but I suppose that is the time of year. Overall we had a pretty good time.

My fiance and I booked a 4hr trip with Mike, had a great time! Caught some fish and made some memories. Mike was awesome and made the experience even better. We would definitely fish with him again!
