Wayne is thorough and very friendly. We had an enjoyable morning with him and would book again.
Thanks for the recommendation Debbie. Hope to see you again in the future.
My brother and I booked Wayne for a 3/4 day trip. Arrived to fishing grounds right at sunrise and, BOOM, it was hammer time! Caught a couple nice sized and hard fighting jacks right away, missed a couple tarpon, then hooked up with a hard fighting tarpon that we were able to wear out and bring boat side. Finished the day off taking home some Lane and Mangrove snapper. Also caught and released grouper, puffer, porgy, and pinfish. Captain Wayne did such a great job!! Thank you! Will book again.
Thanks for the nice review Josh. Iโm so glad we were able to make it happen today. Hope to see you again soon.
It was an awesome morning trip!ย Capt Wayne is great, he put us into fish immediately.. I caught my first Tarponโฆit jumped 4 times and my wife got video!ย I fought a Black Tip Shark for about 20 minutes while Wayne expertly maneuvered his boat.ย It almost totally stripped my reel on 5 incredible runsโฆthe reel was singingโฆgood testimony to quality equipment and expert boat handling!ย We moved inshore and caught several Snappers, Groupers, and a Porgyโฆdinner for the next few nights.ย My wife caught her first Puffer Fish.ย We also caught and released about 30 other fish including Snapper, Grouper, Houndfish and Catfish.ย We will definitely fish with Capt. Wayne again!

Thanks for that great review Dave. We did have a good time didnโt we. There is absolutely nothing better than catching a big ole tarpon. Iโll see you in Chesapeake Bay in September.
My wife, myself , and my son (pictured above)ย went out at 8am with Capt. Wayne. He said we are going to fish for Mangrove Snapper. In 2 hours not only did we catch our limit of Mangrove Snapper (5 each), we caught yellow tail, trigger fish and puffer fish. We have been out with other Captains before but Capt Wayne was the best!. 31 years captaining in Marathon , he knows where the fish are, what they eat , when they eat , and what tackle to use. We hope to get back with him in late April for Tarpon. By the way Capt . Wayne also knows the restaurants ( and recipes) that will cook our catch. We had coconut and parmesan encrusted snapper 3 hours after we caught them. Thanks Capt. Wayne!

Thanks for the nice review Frank. I enjoyed fishing with you and your family and look forward to putting you on some big tarpon soon.
Captain Wayne did an Outstanding job making sure we had a great afternoon. Two of us had never fished before. Captain Wayne was vey patient insuring everyone learned how to properly cast. We caught a lot of different types of fish. Captain Wayne identified every fish we caught. Captain Wayne was lots of fun which contributed to an afternoon of family fun.
We highly recommend everyone to reach out to Captain Wayne Gatling for a fun and safe time on the water. You wonโt be disappointed. He is GREAT!!! Spending the day out on the boat was the highlight of our trip thanks to his guidance.
