I wanted to take my daughter on a salt water fishing excursion for the first time.  We booked the 4 hour inshore trip.  The owner of the Reel Naughty reached out quickly after booking and put me in touch with Captain Manning who gave me an update on the fishing and the weather about a week out.  The weather was outstanding and the fishing was great. My daughter and I caught at least twenty bonita, a blue and a mackerel.  The 1st Mate, Kyle, was fantastic. He was easy to talk to, quick to get lines in the water, and just great all around.  Captain Manning got us on the fish within 3 minutes of getting the lines wet. When the fishing slowed up after an hour of nonstop action he gave us the choice to go after some bigger fish, so we took him up on the offer. Unfortunately, they weren’t biting. Although we did get a strike as Kyle was putting out the first line.  Hooked two more Bonita before heading back.  All in all, I cannot say enough about how professional and friendly the crew were.  My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her first salt water trip and now she’s “hooked”.  We look forward to maybe another trip when the big fish are back in the area. Oh, the boat is great too.  She’s big, fast, and comfortable.  First class experience!

We had a tuna trip booked in late May and the captain messaged me and told me the tuna were not running and that they did not recommend going out for the day. While that was a dissapointment, I was happy they did not take us for a $3k boat ride. Instead we went for blues for half a day and we all had a great time. The boat owner Captain George also followed up with me to make sure we were all happy.
I would happily book with these guys again and will most likely be looking to book a tuna/marlin trip with them in the future.

We would definitely recommend this crew and trip to anyone.  John and Kyle were great and extremely helpful the whole way.  We didn’t catch anything due to cutting trip short for personal reasons.
