Capt. SKIP brings incredible experience to your backcountry fishing charter, he was very patient with my son and two newbies and helped teach and coach them and caught some nice fish on a windy day. He also had a good sense of humor and wit that added to the trip.  I’ve been fishing and coming to the keys for 35 years and lived here for 20, Capt. Skip is a real pro.  Thank you!

If you are looking for a captain that not only knows the backcountry waters, but also has the best demeanor, them captain Gary is your charter.  Gary works at putting you on the fish, and imparts a wealth of knowledge to boot.  I only hope we can get back down here, and go out eith him again-fantastic find!

we caught a lot of fish and worked on our casting skills while also learning a lot about Everglades

He took us out longer than expected, did everything he could to get us on tarpon. We got snook, jacks and barracuda. Awesome captain, will book again and suggest to others!
