It was the kids first trip out and Captain Caleb treated u awesome. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the review Larry! we are glad that you and the boys had a great time for their first time out.
This trip wasnโt perfect due to some unforeseen circumstances but we still had a great trip! Capt. Caleb was awesome and very good with our special needs friend. He got us on some fish including a record 25 in trout and a 19 in trout. Wish more were biting but all 5 of us caught sone fish. Capt Jonathan called after our trip concluded to see how it was. We had booked for nesr shore but due to weather conditions, we had to do in shore fishing. Iโve been on at least a dozen charters but this was the first time a captain called us personally to make sure we got what we wanted and is willing to make sure we were happy. We are extremely happy, lucky to have found them, and we HIGHLY recommend you call Reel Smart Charters! Jax Ritchey

Thank you, Jax, for the great review and recommendation! We appreciate your flexibility when the weather required us to switch from nearshore to inshore fishing.
Weโre glad we were able to put your group on some quality trout and make the trip enjoyable for everyone. It also means a lot to hear that our communication and follow-up stood out from your previous charter experiences.
Thank you for choosing Reel Smart Charters. We enjoyed having your group aboard and look forward to fishing with you again soon!

great guide worked hard to put us on fish did exactly as i asked . will definitely use captain jon again
We had a great time fishing with all of you today! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We truly appreciate it and look forward to welcoming you back next year for another memorable trip.
Liked the guys who took us out. But: trolling motor did not work, and was vital for fishing in one of the spots. Unbeknownst to us, captain added an additional crewmember to the trip (wouldโve been nice to know). Our goal was to catch a trophy tarpon, it didnโt happen which is understandable. But it was insulting when they took us to fish in the harbor, and competed for a spot with a 6 year old kid fishing from a dock.. Also, for $900+, no food or water onboard for guests is unheard of. We brought our own, but.. that felt wrong.

Unfortunately, equipment can occasionally fail without warning. The trolling motor issue was unexpected, and it was not something that could have been repaired on the water during the charter. We recognize the inconvenience this caused and regret its impact on the day.
Regarding the fishing locations, none of us could have anticipated that a child would be fishing from the exact area we intended to target. That situation was completely outside of our control.
As for the fishing itself, tarpon fishing is highly dependent on fish behavior, tides, and conditions. During your trip, only one boat among the fleet fishing the main tarpon run was able to hook up. We discussed options with you on the water, including whether to remain in the area or relocate, and we made multiple moves in an effort to find active fish. While we always work hard to put our guests in the best possible position for success, no charter can guarantee that fish will bite.
Finally, our policy is that guests provide their own food and beverages. We have chosen this approach because dietary preferences, allergies, and individual needs vary significantly from one group to another
