Captain Glenn delivered an amazing trip, despite unseasonably cold weather that made the fish reluctant to bite. Ultimately, we caught 7 Sheepshead/Convict fish that we were able to keep and have for dinner. I enthusiastically recommend Captain Glenn and Inshore Odyssey Fishing!

Captain Glenn was extremely patient and helpful teaching fishing basics to our group (4 adults with some, but very limited experience). He was there to help when we wanted it, but he wasn’t intrusive, giving us all lots of opportunity to get better at casting, detecting nibbles, and landing fish. Captain Glenn did all the hook baiting, equipment set up (selecting the right hook, weight, etc.), removing hooks from fish, and cleaning fish.  He was very knowledgeable about where to go to find fish, and took us to many different locations to try to find a variety of fish.

The unusually cold weather had dropped water temperature to 58 degrees at the beginning of the day, and there was very little fish activity. Nevertheless, Captain Glenn worked hard to maximize our time on the water by trying out lots of different locations and giving us instruction about where to cast to be most likely to find the fish. By the time our 4 hours were up, the water was just starting to warm up and we had a couple fish in the cooler to take home.

However, instead of calling it a day after 4 hours, Captain Glenn offered to extend our trip so that we could benefit from the slightly warmer water. He made it clear that the trip was not yet up to his standards—he seemed more disappointed than we were by the small number of fish we had found so far, and he was also very motivated to find another type of fish for us to catch to broaden our experience. By the end of the trip, we had caught 7 good sized Sheepshead fish along with probably that many Lady fish (which we didn’t keep—the captain taught is this is a bait fish, not an eating fish).

A couple notes on how to pack: Dress for the weather and in layers. A cold morning is extra cold on the water and when traveling at higher speeds between locations! Pack your own sun-protection—there is very little shade afforded by the boat. When applying sunscreen, remember that the sun can reflect back up from the water, so a sun hat does not completely protect your face. Captain Glenn provides water and Gatorade; if you would like additional beverages or snacks you can bring your own. There is one dry-locker on the boat for both the lifejackets and any gear guests bring on to the boat, so pack somewhat lightly. Wear comfortable, and if possible, waterproof shoes as you are likely to be on your feet for nearly the whole time, and landed fish will go right on the deck and occasionally be around your feet.

Our family had an amazing fishing experience with Captain Glenn. His boat was so clean and very accommodating to our needs. Captain Glenn was so knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. We requested to fish for sporting and good eating fish. He made it happen! If we were in a location were the fish weren’t biting, he moved us. He knew all the hot spots. When we got back to the marina, Captain Glenn cleaned and prepared our fish to cook when we got back to our condo. We used his suggested recipe and our fish tacos were amazing.
Our 20 year old boys both agree that this fishing trip was way better than any of their deep sea fishing trips they’ve been on.
I would highly recommend Captain Glenn. Very friendly, easy to talk to and a very knowledgeable fisherman.

My wife and I had a very enjoyable and productive fishing trip with Captain Glenn.  We are not experienced fishermen and he made the experience easy and productive.  His boat is very comfortable.  The trip to the fishing grounds took only 20 minutes.  I was looking for snook and while I lost the big one I did catch 2 smaller ones based on Glenn’s expert advice.  We caught a large variety of fish including redfish, mangrove snapper, sea trout, sheepshead, spanish mackerel, crevalle jack, ladyfish and Goliath grouper.  We came home with snapper, redfish and sea trout.  This trip greatly exceeded our expectations because of the many fish we caught and the friendly support Glenn provided for our hours on the water.  Highly recommend booking with Glenn.

Capt. Glen made it a trip to remember for both the kids and parents. He was a gentleman from the start and payed specific attention to the kids. He helped them with fishing techniques as well as teaching them along the way. Highly recommend!!! We will be back.

What a great morning we had hooking a thousand snapper…a couple grouper, Jack, Sea Trout as well as a giant shark and a redfish that didn’t get in the boat. Glenn was extremely patient with my kiddos as well. We extended the day we were having so much fun.
