If I could give 10 stars I would! We went on a trip to celebrate my 12 year old son’s birthday and it was nonstop action at the spots Captain Tony brought us to. Fish after fish after fish. More than 10 different types of fish and more than 30 or even 40 fish (including non-keepers).

Great day with Capt Tony. Very knowledgeable, personable and just fun to fish with. We spent most of the trip on the reef, then moved to the bay to target shark. Tony hustled the entire time to get us on fish, keep lines baited and in the water. Good equipment and gear and boat was spotless. Coached up my wife on technique and helped her land her first shark.
Then spent an hour cleaning our catch! If you’re looking for a guide Tony’s your man.

So I booked this trip with my brother-in-law and father hoping to get out in the ocean unfortunately the weather wouldn’t allow us to get in the open ocean. So Captain Tony said he’s going to take us to his favorite spots in the bay and within 15 minutes of him saying that we caught 13 small sharks and had a great day if you want a good person in Anna Maria area who’s knows how to fish and will show you where to fish Captain Tony’s your guy!!

We couldn’t have asked for a better day, charter, and captain.  Before the trip, I explained what our skill set was (i.e., nil) and hopes were for the day.  Captain Tony was on time in his impeccably maintained vessel and took us to a series of spots offshore where even we were catching a wide variety of fish left and right.  Captain Tony was a pleasure the whole time.  Fantastic company in addition to keeping all our lines stocked with the right bait and helping us take photos with the best catches.  At the end of the excursion, he masterfully fileted our catch and sent us home smiling and stocked up.  We will absolutely be booking more trips with him in the future.  Highly recommend.

Where do I start. With heavy rain and storms in the area, Capt. Tony wasn’t sure we would go out. But after a slight delay my daughter, son and I joined Tony on a great fishing day in the Bay. Tony was knowledgeable about the area, made sure we knew how to fish and was always on the spot making sure we were “baited up.” It wasn’t until the second spot we tried that we caught a wide variety of fish including snook, sea trout and even saltwater catfish. Too many highlights, but at one point both kids had to take a break because they caught so many fish. The highlight was we hooked what Tony thought was a 100 pound sting ray. We fought it for 20 minutes, saw the tail but it broke the line. What a rush !!
I want to personally thank Tony for a great day. !!!
We will do it again !!
