I’ve used many fishing guides through out Central and North America and hands down Afishionados has been by far the best. We were a group of 5, 2 Adults and 3 kids. I was the only one in the group with a lot of fishing experience, but it didn’t matter. Captain Wade made it so easy and fun to fish the my young niece and nephew, who had no fishing experience, had an amazing time. All the other guides that I have hired have had a fist mate helping them, so when I saw that Captain Wade was working by himself, I mentally prepare myself and the kids to have a lot of down time, but I was pleasantly surprised that this was not the case. Captain Wade’s system for baiting your hook was so efficient that you spend almost all of your time with your line in the water. Which equates to catching more fish. I caught more keepers on this trip than I did in my last 3 trips combined. Also, Captain Wade is a trained photographer and it shows in the quality of the pictures he took. He takes care of taking all the pictures, so that you don’t miss out in capturing the great memories. I can’t wait until I’m in the Tampa area again so that I can hire Captain Wade of Afishionados to take me on another amazing fishing trip.

Our daughter and her friends were home for spring break from college and wanted to go fishing. We booked Wade online. Everything was seamless. He sent all of the info we needed and followed up with a phone call prior to our fishing trip. Wade had a fully outfitted boat. Our party of 6 had him running ragged keeping our rods baited and the fish off our hooks! We caught one fish after another. It was truly a beautiful day. The girls had a blast. We came home and cooked up the fish. Delicious

I sent my husband, son, dad and brothers on an inshore fishing adventure as a Christmas present. The communication with Captain Wade before the charter was excellent. We felt very prepared and he was friendly and considerate. The guys said they all had a great time and one of my brothers “complained” that he didn’t have enough work to do because Captain Wade was so quick at baiting hooks and making sure the guys could spend their time catching fish! Great experience and next time, I’m joining for sure. My husband is asking when he can go again! Thank you again and Merry Christmas!!

I’ve chartered a lot of fishing services in the past and Afishionado ranks up at the top. In addition to having a well-maintained boat, all the fishing tackle and gear was ready-to-go and in excellent condition. There was also plenty of live bait on board to provide the best opportunity to catch fish. On top of that, Wade is highly knowledgeable about the area and where the fish are located. And if for some reason the fish stop hitting in one area, he is quick to suggest other options to provide the most action and the best value. Wade is also great with kids and is skilled at teaching the basics to ensure a good time is had by all. I highly recommend Afishionado Guide Services and Wade Osborne for a truly memorable fishing excursion.
