Warm temperatures keep the bite low after early morning hours. Would like to redo this trip in early spring/fall temperatures when the heat stays away a little longer

If you're an experienced angler (or your kids are), book a trip longer than two hours. You'll go through it quickly and wish you had more time.

Yes, fishing was alittle slow. Different times of year are better. But great for a first time experience!

For first time anglers booking a trip May - Sept. Prepare for the sun. Bring drinks that keep your body hydrated. Prepare with seasickness meds. The fishing is great but if someone on the boat gets sick, it can change the experience or shorten it. A little preparation will make it a great trip.

Captain Jeff was patient and found us fish after trying a few spots. He also is knowledgeable about the area and found marine life including manatees.

Devan mentioned that results depend on time of day and the tides, that the best time to fish is as he tide rolls out. I think next time we will try a morning trip with low tide.

We took the 6 hour trip and that was perfect for us this time. It was such a great experience that next time we will be planning a longer excursion. If you love to fish, take the longer excursion and make a day of it.

Not applicable. The hurricane disrupted everything. We were launched from a boat site over in Bradenton. We fished inland in many different areas between Bradenton and Ana Maria Island. We did love the solution as Devon was able to find different locations that had Fish.
