Had a great trip with Capt Kevin. Got to the ramp a little early and got to watch Capt Kevin and Vern throwing the cast name for bait. Kevin was at the dock in time and we were off to the fishing grounds quickly. Was happy to see we were running to where the fish were and not just anchored up a short distance from the ramp.

Once we arrived at the mouth of the inlet we immediately saw fish rolling and jumping out of the water. Vern got lines in the water and in minutes we were on, unfortunately with a toothy fish who cut the line.

Couple more drifts and we had a monster tarpon take the bait and was a fright train quickly dumping the line off of the 7500 series Penn reel and unfortunately lost the fish. It was amazing to have such a large fish spool a reel so fast. There was no controlling that fish. After a few more drifts it got pretty rough and we decided to head into the calmer waters.

My 10 year old daughter quickly hooked into a big barracuda and needed some help holding the rod while she fought the fish as it just keep taking line and putting up an amazing fight. A short time later the fish was boat side and in the net. After a few high fives and pictures it was released to live another day.

We closed out the day hooking a couple more fish and had a few more tarpon miss our bait, one coming up and missing it three times. Super exciting to see while we all crossed our fingers for the hookup.

Kevin and Vern are top notch, quick to answer questions and getting the right baits in the water. We will fish with them again in the future. Thanks for the great day guys!

My family and I had an amazing morning of fishing with Kovach Fishing Charters. Captain Kevin and First-Mate, Vern, were professional, knowledgeable, and knew how and where to catch fish. Minutes after dropping our first baits in the ocean we were reeling in cobia, mahi, sailfish, Bonita, triggerfish, and sea bass. It was the one of the best and friendliest charters we’ve ever been on. We recommend them highly!

Captain and first mate worked hard to get us where the fish were and also gave us an opportunity to catch a lot of different species using different fishing strategies. We fished in surface fishing for Mahi/Wahoo,fishing off the bottom for Vermillion Smapper, and ended the day live casting for Spanish Mackerel. For the day we caught Mahi Mahi, Vermillion Snapper,Grouoer,Blacktip shark,and lots of Spanish Mackerel. They also cleaned the fish at the end of the day, probably brought home 25-30# of filets. Highly recommend these guys, will use them again!

Kevin and Vern we’re amazing! They were honest and up front about conditions that may make our original plans unpleasant due to weather. But they put us into some inshore Spanish mackerel and I’ve never had so much fun fishing. And then, bless their hearts, they filleted everything up so that we had fresh fish ready for an awesome dinner! Highly recommend these two!

We had a great time fishing with Captain Kovach. He and his first mate were very helpful and knowledgeable. They took our requests as to what we wanted to catch and put us on them. We caught a couple mahi and snapper. Towards the end of the day the fish were starting to get more active and they let us stay out until we weren’t catching anymore (well beyond our 8hrs). Thanks Captain for the adventurous day on the water, sorry for the friend that was chumming the water most of the day.
