  Big Redfish, Terrific Guide and Teacher

  Near shore multi-species trip on April 18, 2026 • 2 adults

  4 of us took a trip around the waters near St Petersburg FL with Capt Mike. It was like going to a Masters Class in fishing technique: rigging, bait selection, presentation and how to allow the fish to catch themselves. The least skillful angler caught two Redfish at 28 and a 32...she had never caught a Redfish in her life...All of us received a beautiful day on the water with a Captain that really loves what he does and how it impacts others. I plan to fish for a full week with Capt Mike when we can find the right time. Totally professional but a fun and knowledgeable waterman!! Could not recommend this Captain any higher. We started the day by meeting the Captain we hired over Fishing Booker and left with a new friend.

  Thank You for the review. It was a pleasure to fish with all four of you. Hope to see you again. Looking forward to maybe some tarpon on the fly if you’re up for it

  4 Hour Trip on June 15, 2026 • 3 adults

  We had an excellent experience on this fishing charter! The captain was friendly, accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable about the local waters and fishing conditions. He worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time and put us on fish all day long. The action was fantastic—we caught plenty of fish, including pompano, trout, and redfish. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a beginner, this charter provides a fun, enjoyable, and successful day on the water. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!

  Best of the Best

  4 Hour Trip on March 21, 2026 • 3 adults

  We had an amazing fishing trip and couldn’t have asked for a better Captain. Captain Mike was incredibly knowledgeable, not just about where to find fish, but also about techniques, equipment, and making the whole experience enjoyable. What really stood out was how great he was with my sons. He made the trip fun, engaging, and memorable for them from start to finish. He was patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in making sure they had a great time, which meant a lot to me. We all learned a ton and had plenty of action throughout the day. If you’re looking for a guide who knows his stuff and makes the experience enjoyable for the whole family, I highly recommend Capatain Mike. We’ll definitely be back!

  Captain Mike is the best. Look no further!

  4 Hour Trip on March 19, 2026 • 3 adults

  As much as fishing is about the fish, its more about the experience - and who you share it with. We went fishing with Captain Mike and it ended up being the highlight of our week! Mike made sure that my two boys (15 and 17) had the best day possible on the water. The water temp had dropped 10 degrees due to the cold but that didn't stop up from throwing down bait in some of the best spots around! Saw plenty of fish but they were stubborn! We laughed, shared strories and Mike's knowledge is vast. He knows the water, the winds, the fish and is just an amazing and kind guy!! We made memories to last a lifetime. Don't hesitate to book with Down Range Charters! Hands down an awesome experience

  my kids had a blast!

  4 Hour Trip on February 16, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

  I reached out to captain Mike, wanting to take my son and nephew out. He was honest with me telling me the bite was slow. The boys still wanted to go out and we had a blast! My son asked if we can fish with Mike everytime we are down. Fishing was slower like he said but he did everything to put us on fish. The boys caught a good ampunt of fish and they had a great time, in terms I had a great time watching these young guys becoming anglers just like i did. By the end of the day both learned how to cast spinning reels. I highly recommend Captain Mike to take you out. We will be back to fish with him again.
