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!

Fished with Captain Skip on Saturday, April 19th.  Windy as heck so we couldn’t get everywhere we wanted to.  Found a few spots and hit a nice speckled trout hole and limited out while also catching alot of fish.  Recommend fishing with these guys

We fished hard. Captain put us in some great spots. Ended the day slaying trout.  Gary is very knowledgeable and a master of his craft. We will be back for another day on the water.

My son and I had a great time.  We had to work at it, but the Capt put us in places to catch snook, tarpon and redfish.
