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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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

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