my original “guide” I booked on here (johnny tb a no-show) ghosted me after I booked a month ahead, took multiple days off work, airfare, hotel, car rental, etc.  anyway, in comes the afishianado!  saved the day! great guide, very ool dude, personable and honestly the hardest working guide I’ve ever had the luck of using!  he will show up (key detail!!!) on time, loaded with bait, and ready to put you on the fish!  a guide’s job is to help you catch fish, not make you watch HIM catch fish, and captain owen gets it!  I had a blast and hope to be in the tampa area again one day so we can get back out and catch some more!  I definitely recommend this guide!

It was a birthday suprise for me and it was really great. Wade is a great captain. He has everything you need for fishing. You just need to bring snacks.
We approached a meticulously clean boat with great music playing- especially if you like Zeppelin!.. we do🙂.
Our first stop gave us the opportunity to to fish in a quiet fish filled area. I am a novice fisher.. but Wade made sure to put bait on for us and bring us to places where a catch would be guaranteed.

He is a proud boat owner and it shows. His boat is clean, clutter free and comfortable.
We caught multiple fish and kept 4. When we arrived back to shore- Wade fileted our catch..which we will have for dinner tonight.
If you want a guaranteed good day on the water… I say choose Wade.
We will definitely book him again.
He also takes photos and sends them to you- which is awesome.

Blazing hot water temps, an unforgiving sun and a slow tide didn’t stop Capt. Wade from putting us on the snook and mangrove. Steady bite and steady catching. Only thing that came close to the action was listening to Wade’s terrific stories. He’s worth the time — everytime!

Had a great time with Wade.  He was able to get us on some trout within about 20 minutes of leaving the dock.  There was multiple tournaments the weekend he took us out but he still had solid spots that all produced.  He handles pretty much everything besides casting and reeling, so this would be great for less experienced folks too! 
(He’s a great photographer also!)

We had a great time, thanks again for everything Wade.

Had a great time with Captain Wade and Afishianado! Wade spent the time to familiarize us with the equipment and techniques, and had us on Redfish and Snook pretty quickly. We also caught Mackerel and Sea Trout, among other species. Not to mention that we saw an Osprey, numerous wading birds, several dolphins, and two manatees! One cow and one calf. Outstanding day!!! Thank you Wade!!!!!
We’d highly recommend Afishianado to anyone!
