    Very very fun trip!

    Half Day Trip • 4 adults

    We had an absolute blast with captain mike! Caught some really nice red fish even when the fish wasn’t biting and very finicky. He definitely knows his stuff when it comes to fishing. Apart from fishing we had an amazing time being out on his boat and he was extremely friendly even let us fish for a little longer waiting for the perfect bite! We had 4 people on the boat and had plenty of room to. I highly recommend him if you want to have a good time and catch some fish!

    Great trip with an experienced local captian.

    3/4 Day Trip • 3 adults

    Captain Mike’s charter was a fantastic experience. Mike put us on active spots the entire trip, resulting in a productive day of fishing even in lass than ideal conditions. While other boats were getting skunked we were hooking up on trophy reds. Mike obviously knew the local fishery well, and cared deeply about the health of the local populations.

Today a cold front came through and slowed the bite down a bit but patients was the key. Had a large school of redfish 20foot in front of us all day and picked at them most of the trip. Sight fishing is key this time of year. Take your kids fishing!’
