Memorial Fishing Trip

Full Day Trip4 adults

Not to long ago my father passed away and one of the things he taught me and my sister was the joy of fishing. Jamie came down from Wisconsin and we set out on a "Memorial Fishing Trip". Capt. Roland was an awesome guide. He was ready to go on time, had all the gear and bait we needed and let us know the plan up front so we could drop as soon as we hit the spot. We went out on an eight hour trip that seemed to go much faster because we were pulling in so many fish! I know the guide can't guarantee fish, but his attitude made it seem like the fish just knew to come to his boat. He even got me and my nephew some sharks. For a couple of folks from Wisconsin it was the perfect way to honor the fishing spirit taught by my dad and make some new memories along the way. I would highly recommend Capt. Roland and can't wait to turn this into an annual event.

    simply the Best

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    I could write a comment about all the fish we caught but it wouldn't give captain Roland enough credit. The man just knows where they are. At every spot he took us we were reeling them in and I'm not talking little ones I'm talking real fighting fish so the only thing I can write is that if you are looking for a good day of fishing ....Roland Bell is the one you want end of story

    Best Day Ever

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    Great communication leading up to the trip! I booked for my sons 13th birthday and Captain Roland did not disappoint. He made the most of our four hour charter. We caught Lane Snapper, Sheepshead, Drum, and Trout. Seven of those fish were keepers, which he fileted and bagged for us at the end. Captain Roland was great about keeping our hooks baited and getting our lines unstuck to maximize time on the water. He was GREAT with kids. I think he has a sixth sense for when fish are biting so if you are like me and need some guidance, book with Captain Roland! Super knowledgeable of the water, tides, fish biting, and places to take you to have the best experience.

    Captain Roland does not dissapoint!

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    My girlfriend booked a fishing trip for my birthday and had me find the captain to take us out and I came across Captain Roland. Our experience was not only above expectations but personable and genuinely a great hangout on the water whether you choose to fish or lay in the sun like my girlfriend! Captain Roland will personalize the experience to your liking to maximize the time your line is in the water or find the best sandbar to eat lunch on. He does it all! Highly recommend his charter to anyone looking or interested in a great Florida fishing experience winter or summer!
