Half day morning trip

4 Hour Trip (8 AM)2 adults

Tony was an incredible guide for our half day morning trip, searching for some sheepshead and snapper. We caught a whole bunch of those, which later made for some excellent fish tacos. We also caught a couple snooks, and stopped and caught some shiner to use for bait using some chum and net which was really cool to see. I highly recommend Tony for anyone in search of guide in Siesta Key. We'd be happy to use him again the next time we come here.

    Tony was exceptional!

    2 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    we caught Snook and trout! First cast out I caught a 31” Snook!! We were hoping for trout and got plenty. I would hire him again in a heart beat! If tge fish weren’t biting in one pkave, he moved to another place. He was a gentleman as we are two lady anglers. He earned every cent and then some. He was very attentative to making sure our bait was still alive and viable. He wasn’t at all invasive. pne of us is a seasoned angler and he knew if our organization and is a supporter. Don’t hesitate to contract with tjis company. 🐟🐟

    First fishing experience was perfect!

    2 Hour Trip - 4:30 PM • 2 adults

    It was one of the best experience during our trip, the weather was perfect, even if there were some thunders near around and also a bit of rain. Our captain was also perfect! We will do it again if we are in Florida!

    Great private fishing trip!

    2 Hour Trip • 3 adults

    Our captain, Greg, was awesome. He was very informative, knowledgeable and experienced. He knew all the good spots on Little Sarasota Bay. Three of us caught a dozen fish in 2 hours. Snook, Redfish, and others. Greg cleaned and filleted for us the ones we kept. I would definitely recommend it to those looking for a private short fishing trip!

    Good Time

    4 Hour Trip (8 AM) • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had a great time with Captain Greg, we had a 9 year old who can be impatient and if we weren't on fish he adjusted quickly and found them for us.

    Response from Charter operator

    thanks so much for the feedback! Hope to see you and your crew back soon!
