    Unforgettable time with Capt Nevins!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM)

    We recently celebrated my husband’s birthday with a fishing trip chartered through Likley Fishing, and it was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we boarded the impeccably clean vessel, Captain Nevins welcomed us with a warm and knowledgeable demeanor that set the tone for the entire day. Captain Nevins' expertise in the local fishing spots and his understanding of the gaming and fishing laws were impressive. Thanks to his guidance, my husband caught a stunning 9 lb, 28-inch Red Fish, which was the highlight of our trip. The joy and excitement of that moment were truly priceless, and it was all made possible by Captain Nevins' skill in navigating the best fishing locations. The whole experience felt very personalized and well-organized, which made us feel extra special on this important occasion. Captain Nevins went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic time, and it was evident in every detail of the trip. I highly recommend Likley Fishing for anyone looking to create lasting memories on the water. Whether you’re an avid angler or a first-timer, Likely Fishing and the crew will deliver an exceptional experience. A heartfelt thank you to Captain Nevins for giving my husband the time of his life on his birthday—we couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful adventure!

    Inshore with Captain Mike

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM)

    First off, Mike was a great Captain! Skillful at the helm, and keeps an emasculate boat. The riding was smooth and dry. Secondly, he was attentive to the wants of specific species we were after, and definitely delivered. Caught a slam of red, trout, and flounder. He can find the money slot reds too. He also has a great character which made the day enjoyable all charter long. His instruction was clear and easy to understand to get you on the fish. He had nice gear, and all pre rigged ready to go for the charter. A lot of the time you don’t get the personality with captains, but with Capt. Mike you do. Great fishing, and a great time all around. You can’t beat it! Definitely recommend you booking with him. I look forward to a Nearshore trip with him soon.

    Phenomenal Trip!

    Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) • 2 adults

    We had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Rob! Even though it rained off and on and water was a bit rough to catch some of the fish we were after, but the challenge was just part of the experience! We loved the trip enough we were able to schedule another trip before heading home. So excited!

    Today's fishing conditions have been excellent, with exciting catches reported across various species. Anglers targeting red drum and flounder have enjoyed a particularly hot bite, with good numbers being landed throughout the day. Both species are actively feeding, making it a great time to hit the water. Additionally, nearshore fishing for kingfish has been highly productive. Anglers have reported a hot bite, with kingfish being caught consistently within reachable distances from the shore. This action-packed fishing nearshore has attracted many enthusiasts looking for a thrilling day on the water. For those planning a fishing trip soon, focusing on red drum, flounder, and kingfish seems to be the winning strategy based on recent reports. Tight lines and happy fishing!

    We had a great time on the water but unfortunately didn’t catch any fish we could keep. The boat and fishing gear were great and our guides were friendly and accommodating. We did catch a shark so that was exciting, but of course threw him back. It was a fun day, just wish we would have caught some fish.

    Great trip and knowledgeable captain. We had a “for fun” fishing tournament we were doing and he worked hard to get us on the fish. We ended up catching a nice amount of flounder along with several other species. Will definitely book again
