Years of local knowledge makes a difference

3 Hour Trip (PM)5 adults

If you are looking for a great fishing experience on a comfortable boat, this is the one! Captain Mike knows the waters from his decades of fishing experience and the same goes for Brad, his first mate and deck hand. Both were very nice guys, and made the experience great for our group! Won’t hesitate to book with them in the future.

Response from Charter operator

Thank you so much, Greg that means a lot to us. Looking forward to next time.

    We all caught fish!!

    6 Hour Trip – Trolling/Bottom5 adults

    We booked this trip for our senior graduates and the trip did not disappoint! The boat was awesome, clean, and very roomy. The captain was the most friendly and knowledgeable of all captains and well experienced with the deep waters! The deck hand was phenomenal and an expert in her field. Im sure she will be captain of her own ship one day! We caught snapper, amber jack, grouper, and very big trigger fish! One of the best fishing experiences and we will book again! Also thanks for the restaurant recommendation to cook our fish it was delicious and great service as well!! We will book again!!

    Kim was great

    5 Hour Trip – Trolling/Bottom (PM)5 adults2 children

    We were a family of 5, 2 willing adults to fish, one child with no interest in fishing and a somewhat handicap mother in law who just wanted to ride on the boat, Captain Mike was very accommodating for my mother in law, we got out on the water and caught plenty of spanish mackerel and vermillion snapper, Kim was super nice and stayed busy with just the two of us primarily fishing, had a pretty good catch and probably would of been better with with more anglers but overall super happy, will book again next time we are in the area. we did 5 hour pm

    Fishing Captain and Mate, not boatride

    6 Hour Trip – Trolling/Bottom2 adults

    There is always a risk when booking with an unknown to you Capt. I took the risk and was not disappointed. we lucked into good weather although hot, even for August. Throw in my wife and were celebrating our 47th anniversary and 70 is just a number. Kim, the mate (also a Capt) was bait friendly and very attentive. We caught fish, King Mackerel, Trigger, American Red Snapper, b-liners, vermillion, grunts so brought home something to eat for several meals. I highly recommend this team.

    Reported Catch
    King Mackerel (Kingfish)
    Red Snapper
    Gray Triggerfish

    Best trip!

    6 Hour Trip – Trolling/Bottom5 adults3 children

    This was my family’s first time on a charter! And we were NOT let down! Capitan Mike and first mate terri were nothing short of amazing in helping us in every way and great with the kiddos, helping them to cast/ reel in a keeping our poles in the water ready to catch the next fish ! We had a great experience! Cant wait to book with Sure Shot Fishing Charters again! We were treated just like family. Got to catch our limit for opening day Snapper season. 😁

    Best Crew!

    4 Hour Trip - 6:30 AM6 adults1 child

    Our family had a fun time fishing with sure shot! Kim and Captain Mike were down to earth people who cared about whether or not our family had a good time and caught some fish. Kim was Johnny on the spot with helping rebate our hooks and grabbing all the fish we caught. Since we had to bottom fish instead of troll, Captain Mike made sure that we had perfect spots so we were able to catch some trigger fish, sand perch, and red snapper! We appreciate all of their hard work! :)
