We had a great half day with Captain Shawn on the morning of July 29th 2021.ย He was very patient and kind with our two boys, ages 9 &5.ย He took us to great spots and we literally started catching fish after fish upon our first cast.ย Within 15 mins all 4 of us had caught multiple fish.ย I want to say in all we caught around 40 fish.ย We caught 20+ snooks, 10+ snappers, 1 zebra looking fish (forgot name), and almost had a tarpon.ย To add to the experience & excitement we had a 300lbs bull shark trying to snag some of our fresh catches for the around 45 mins of our trip, which our boys loved.ย Capt Shawn had great custom rods and gear and a brand new boat.ย Everything was super clean and nice. We had a wonderful trip and will recommend Capt Shawn to all our friends and family.

First day Shawn Picked me up on timeโฆ his Boat is Clean as a whistleโฆ everything in a place and spotlessโฆย
We had rough weather but Shawn found the fish! Started on Trout, then snook then some Trippel tail, and finished with the Snook, and a nice Mangrove snapper YUM..ย I had a snook bite near the boat the Jig pulled from fish and sling shot to my headโฆ I did not know what hit me!ย He was very diligent to be sure I was OK, Suggesting Ice and sitting for a moment.. (I just lost a snook do you think I took a break?)ย
Last cast landed a 30+ Snook!ย what a way to end the day!ย Long ride to find them but well worth it.. sometimes you have to book a full day to get to the fish ask Shawn if you are unsure he is very honest.
Second Day was just Shawn and I it felt like I knew him for years..ย He was a good fishing buddy and he and I really got into the snook!ย at one point we had a snook about every 2 minsโฆย The bite was great!ย End of day total over 20 Snook, 1 Big Snapper and and 4 trout.ย Shawn recommended this restaurant to cook the catch, so I off to Mrs. Macs (where Shawn delivered the cleaned fish) for diner it was outstanding!ย ย I highly recommend Shawn for you next keys trip!

Asked for a scenic trip with light tackle fishing. We fished near the Everglades NP. The island we fished by gave us close up views of osprey, bald eagle, royal terns and both brown and white pelicans. We caught nice sized snook a barracuda and a redfish. Then a 100 pound plus tarpon got on the line. Capt. Shawn coached me for oven an hour until it was successfully brought to the boat, and then turned loose. Fun knowledgeable person to spend time on the water with too.
Shawn was great. He was punctual, kind, and made the experience really fun for everyone on board. Shawn was knowledgeable of the fish we wanted to catch and kept things entertaining and fun at all times. I would highly recommend using Shawn to anyone looking for a great time in the keys. We will definitely be booking again.
Our half day trip with Shawn to the Everglades was one of the highlights of our trip. His boat was top notch and he knew exactly where to find the fish. He was kind and patient with our boys (ages 8 and 12) who had a ton of questions for him, and made our time on his boat very memorable. We have been on several fishing charters and this one was undoubtedly our favorite. If we could do it again, I would definitely opt for 3/4 or a full day trip. It was worth every penny.
