Hello, everyone! I grew up in Gulfport, Florida, in a small fishing town just minutes away from Boca Ciega Bay and the Gulf. I've been fishing ever since I can remember, whether it's 15 minutes before school or all day every day in the summer.

Half Day Trip (AM) • 5 adults • 1 childWhat a FUN fishing day! This was our first family fishing trip and it did not disappoint! We caught several different kinds of fish along with seeing dolphins right along side the boat! After Captain Mike filleted the fish we bought them to The Wharf where they cooked our fish for dinner. Captain Mike was a fun, knowledgeable guide! Thanks! Our family will be back!

Prefrontal extravaganza
Mar 13, 2016 • Tampa
Had a great trip today, the fish absolutely chewed the bottom out of the boat!
We started the day of on deep water rocks targeting mangrove snapper and grouper. We went 2 for 6 with the biggest being fish being a 22" grouper.
We made a quick short move to some deep water grass flat and caught over 20 trout, the biggest brig over 25".
After we got our fill on big trout we decided to target redfish, unfortunately the winds had really picked up and made for tough sight fishing conditions. We did manage one over slot redfish measuring 29". We also landed about 10 more trout the biggest being the 23" fish pictured.
We made one more move to try and compete our "slam" we landed right on the snook and immediately began catching. We lost at least 6 snook over 30". We landed another 10 in the 25" range. We eventually called it a day and left the fish chewing for the fourth time in one day!

College reunion fishing trip!
Jun 24, 2015 • Tampa
Got a call from a customer who was meeting a few old college friends in Tampa for a bit of a reunion. They wanted to start they trip off with a fishing trip. They wanted to catch species they could eat and were fun to catch. We decided to start our trip targeting mackerel, they are a blast to catch and great to eat when fresh.
We arrived at the spot and the first bait in the water was immediately eaten by a nice mackerel! I knew right then that it was going to be a great day. Over the next few hours we caught lots of mackerel, shark's, jack's and even a nice Cobia.
With about an hour left in our trip we decided to make one move and target trout and snook. We arrive at the next stop and again immediately start catching, this time nice slot sized trout. We end up landing around 10 slot trout and even a couple mid 20's snook.
We took a quick ride back to the dock and got the guy's on their way with some nice mackerel and trout fillets!

Redfish for all!
May 24, 2015 • Tampa
I had some great repeat customers out who wanted to catch a bunch of redfish again this. We were met with higher than expected winds and had to search for them on some leeward shorelines. Once we found them they were very cooperative, with each anglers landing multiple fish.
