Last Tues., 5 of us went on 1/2 day morning fishing trip with Captain Fabian. We targeted Spotted Sea Trout first and caught 2 keepers (Slot Size 15 - 19โ) and a whole bunch smaller than that.
Then, on the way back, we stopped and targeted some Ladyfish and there was a feeding frenzy and we landed a whole bunch of those. captain Fabian kept some for his planned shark fishing in the afternoon โฆ
We asked Captain Fabian about the eatability of the Ladyfish and he did not recommend it โฆ
Nevertheless, we took a couple of them home with us along with the spotted sea trout and prepared them and wrapped them in aluminum foil and put them on the grill โฆ
And, Captain Fabian was right โฆ The ladyfish meat was pasty and mushy and full of tiny bones and pretty much tasteless โฆ So, lesson learned - listen to the Captain !
We thoroughly enjoyed our fishing trip with Captain Fabian!

Took my eight and ten year old boys out with captain Fabian, The entire experience was awesome. The boys were excited and eager to catch something cool.
We started the morning catching Lady fish which we would later use for bait. The boys loved catching them and the action was on once we drew them in.
After about an hr of catching Lady fish we moved to a different location and targeted Sharks.
My younger son Landed a nice 4-5โ Bull shark and my older son hooked into Two but they both broke free. Overall it was an amazing first time out for the boys and Captain Fabian was extremely patient and accommodating to their skill level.ย
Highly recommend.

What a great day we had on the gulf. Captain Fabian was so pleasant, accommodating, and helpful. He ensured we were prepared for the trip in advance amd during the trip was very helpful and educated our son on fishing techniques. We caught several snooks, lady fish, and for two hours attempted to reel in either a bull shark or saw fish. What an experience! I highly recommend his excursion. We will be back soon. Thank you.
Captain Fabian was terrific.ย He was extremely patient with our kids (7 and 4), teaching them what to do and even letting them play with his bait fish.ย He kept us busy catching lady fish, trout, and jacks, and we even got to reel in a small shark and had another on the line all the way to the boat.ย We have a great time.ย Highly recommend.
Took my wife and boys (age 19 and 20) for a morning charter, and couldnโt be more impressed with the trip. Captain Fabian was a fantastic guide in showing us fish and assisting in getting the gear rigged for what we were fishing. The boat was very clean and well maintained. We caught Spanish Mackerel, Snook, Redfish, Trout and Jack. I would highly recommend this character even with those with younger kids as the captain is very helpful and knowledgeable with locations to fish.
