My daughter and I fished the half day (AM trip) with Captain Buddy on Oct 20 and had a great and productive time fishing. Captain Buddy is very friendly, knowledgeable and likes to pass on his experience and tricks to catch the various types of fish. We started off catching snapper that we took some to a local restaurant to cook for dinner and froze the rest. We also caught some houndfish. We moved on to catching some baracuda and my daughter caught a lemon shark about 80 lbs that was exciting to watch her reel in. Lastly, we moved on to try for tarpon. We hooked a couple of sizable tarpon around 15 lbs that snapped the lines after breaching surface but all-in
-all it was a fun time fishing with Captain Buddy. I definitely recommend booking a charter with Captain Buddy.

We caught dinner first, snapper, then a few sharks. I love that the captain called the day before to ask what we wanted to catch. He knew the spots and made our day so much fun! Highly recommend booking with Captain Buddy

Nothing short of an amazing experience. Captain Buddy did a great job putting my wife and I on snapper which made for a tasty “hook and cook”. However, the tarpon fishing will live in my memories forever. If you want to have an enjoyable trip that goes beyond just wetting a line and includes great conversion, learnings,and genuine pride in making your trip memorable.

My son and grandson and I enjoyed every minute of our morning charter with Captain Buddy. He began with greeting each of us by name and then explaining our plan for catching as much fish as possible, both for the thrill as well as to bring back for dinner. And that we did. From snappers to lady fish to black tip, lemon and nurse sharks, we had a fun day of catching, despite the hot temperatures of August. Captain Buddy is knowledgeable, good natured, patient, great with kids and a real nice guy. We were very happy with our fishing trip with Captain Buddy. We’ll surely return and go out with him again, next time in the Spring for a different variety of inshore fish.
By the way, I dont know which was more delicious, the mangrove snapper or the black tip shark, but we fed a hungry family of six tonight with enough leftover for lunch tomorrow!

This was our third trip with Buddy, and he continues to impress us every time. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and makes the entire experience fun while teaching you something new along the way. Right from our first stop, we started catching fish and even ended the day with a shark, a true bucket-list moment! We can’t recommend Buddy enough; it’s clear he loves what he does and takes pride in creating lasting memories for others.
