Captain Mike was very nice and had a lot of stories about the area that were shared.  He was calm in some tough situations (I ended up needing a tetanus shot.) We were disappointed that all of the red snapper we caught had to be thrown back especially since this trip was advertised as a AM Red Snapper trip. We caught almost ALL Red Snapper so it was pretty discouraging getting to only take home 2 fish when we caught about 14 & those red snapper were huge. Fishing Booker should not be titling the trips with fish that are out of season, that’s a pretty clear switch & bait tactic. We didn’t find out jt wasn’t red snapper season till we had caught the first fish & were told we had to throw it back, the dolphins got a feast that day. However, Captain Mike is really kind & is a fun Captain.

We booked a 6 hour trip with Captain Mike.  We spoke on the phone several times prior to our trip to be sure we could target a specific species and Mike agreed.  The morning of the trip he called and pushed back our start time back an hour, however the trip itself was not extended to compensate so we only ended up with a 5 hour trip.  We were under the impression that we were booking a charter for our group of 4 for a set price.  When we met at the dock there were two additional guests joining however our price was not discounted. The first hour of the trip was spent netting bait which we did not feel should have been part of our charter.  We never targeted the species in which we had discussed several times that we wanted to try to catch.  We were disappointed in the experience and service received.  We did not go home with any fish at all, which we totally understand is very possible when it comes to fishing but we feel we did not receive a full charter focused on fishing.
