Not booking this charter especially after Captains response to my review $500 is not his cheapest and correct I wasn’t on the boat BUT I paid for it and saw the pictures and my bf who was on the trip told me about the experience so….

If you are going offshore fishing for the first time, I suggest taking a shorter trip to make sure you don't get seasick. It's a different ballgame when you are over 30 miles out. Not everyone can handle it.

Fished offshore with Joe and had a fantastic time. Captain Joe put us on many species including King, Cobia, Grunt and others. Went home with fish dinner for days! Great boat and captain! Will be going again. Thanks Joe.

I'm sure there are more plentiful seasons, but it has been a great experience for us 2 years in a row. We are out for the fun and memories, and if we get a mess of fish for the table even better- we've accomplished that 2 years in a row.

Book a trip the fits your time limits and get it done. It’s not really hot yet in June and there’s a lot of fish out there to be caught!!

It may take you a few attempts to find a capt./ guide that you want to charter with repeatedly. Don't discourage. Your guide is on this app. Fish On!

The sun in S. Florida is intense when compared to any place north of there. Be prepared to sunscreen up, large hat and hot/humid conditions, after all, it is a tropical paradise.

Susan Giles
The Captain said it wasn't a good fishing day. But we were happy! It was cloudy in waters. But we caught and had fish for dinner. Ed even filets your fish!

Fishing can be a grind in Fort Myers...need to know the area, where to target fish, which baits and setups to use.

Larissa Martin
We are newbies to the fishing world but captain Nick did an excellent job of making us feel comfortable and taught us alot in a short time. We caught some great fish and seen some great sights.

Craig Mobley
Drink plenty of water, use sunscreen, take a hat and sunglasses and don’t be afraid to ask questions!!!

If you book a fishing trip and when you get there and the weather is great and then the Captain changes what you booked, don't go on the trip.

Eric OConnell
Its tough to tell. It was nice and warm but the wind made the whole day tough. I will need another trip to make a great assessment

Ken Faus
Was a perfect day and we had so much fun. Even saw sunken boats from the hurricane. He pointed out so much interesting stuff to us!

Justin Hill
The weather was great while we were out fishing. The waves were smooth. It was nice being out on the boat!

This is a great place to go fishing but the summer months is not the greatest for catching the best fish, which is anywhere you go. We plan on a fall or winter trip.

Dress accordingly. Sunscreen, if you need to reapply, remember to bring lotion, not the spray Listen to the captain and you will catch fish

What a fantastic day fishing with friends...the crew was so helpful and fun! Would highly recommend this to anyone whether an experienced fisherman or a novice like myself.

The heat of mid-summer on the Gulf Coast of South Florida can be difficult if you are looking to fill your cooler, but Mangrove Snapper and Blacktip Shark can make some fine eating.

This is great fishing even if you don't want to go all the way out in the ocean. There are so many areas and the charters know where to take you.

Dress in layers because it is cool when that boat moves this time of year and bring sunscreen even if you don't think you need it!

Matthew Misson
It was a great time. We caught fish and the kids stayed entertained the whole 4 hours.

Benjamin Morales
Had a fun morning with my teens fishing for sharks on Spring Break. Highly recommend.

Joe Nolan
Be prepared for windy and chilly temps in January, but there are still fish out there.

Robert Fleming
Ask what fish are in season and don't expect others. And it was foggy so weather plays a factor.

Melany Dolter
We went in the afternoon and didn’t have a lot of bites, but it was the afternoon!

Ben Cross
Stay on the pine island sound in the mangroves.check the tide charts for fishiness.

Research fishing charter in pricing and if there is contingency if expected trip is not met
