  Captain was very enthusiastic and accommodating. We had a terrific experience for our grandson's 12th birthday, wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

  Batten the scallywags!

  Batten down the Scallywags! A.M. on October 13, 2018 • 4 adults

  We had a great day on the water with Captain Skunkbeard! Our group consisted of my wife and I and our 9 year old daughter and 5 year old son. We lost track of the number of snook we caught. Our daughter caught a nice Spanish Mackerel for her first time fishing. We also caught a bunch of snapper and a pompano. We were visited by a group of dolphins towards the end that really interacted with our kids. Captain Skunkbeard knows the area and was really great with the kids. Very family friendly! He was very patient with the kids and with people with limited fishing skills. The kids said the trip was better than Disney. We will definitely book with him again.

  Good Times!! Good People and Good Fishing!!

  6 Hour Trip on January 8, 2018

  The gear was awesome! All top notch stuff, he had plenty of backup gear ready so there was little-no down time on change ups or break offs. The boat is awesome! The water temp. was at record lows when we went, but he knew where to find the fish. My friend was in town from Alaska, so it was nice to take him with me and catch so many fish on such a cold day. I felt safe and confident on the boat. I am sure the fishing is much better now the water is warm. I have been fishing the bay since the early 80's and I have never caught that many fish in the whole winter. Given the weather my expectations were low, but even if they had been much higher still hit the mark. Book the trip, and have some fun! Bring a couple beers because you will be behind the reel, not behind the wheel. Louis

  It was a killer day man, all those snook still ate in 52° water temps!

  Best day fishing in Tampa

  Three sheets to the wind P.M. on November 7, 2020 • 4 adults

  Hands down the best captain and experience I’ve had in Tampa in 5+ years living in the bay. Highly recommend and won’t ever go out on the bay without anyone else!!
