The trip was awesome, but like anything in Florida during July, it was extremely hot. Make sure to take plenty of water and sunscreen.

I would 100% recommend this trip for novice and experienced anglers alike. It was an amazing day on water which gave my son and I the chance to use various fishing techniques, some which we were accustomed to and some which were more unique. If you are looking for a great fishing experience book this trip and IMO half day is the way to go regardless of experience.

Weather can change weekly, I was lucky and had stable warm weather. Have realistic expectations, if your looking for a big bite, wait a couple more months. We caught plenty and had a blast.

While we were completely satisfied with the fish we caught in January, we’d like to come back when the waters are warmer and try our luck with some larger fish.

We had the perfect weather. Cool, but partly cloudy in the 60s. We caught lots of different fish and some sharks.

The water is a little cold for the fish so you might not catch a lot of fish that swim in the middle or top mainly bottom feeding fish

If it’s your first time fishing in this area, Marco Island, Captain Rio is your man. Just can’t say enough about him. Do you want fish? He is the one to call. If they’re out there, he will find them.

It is always fun to fish in FL, but some months are widely considered better if searching for specific fish. Only reason it was not a 5 star.
