Captain Paul had us on the fish from start to finish! Had beginner to intermediate anglers in our family and the Captain was able to accommodate all of us with ease. Caught a great variety of fish, saw dolphins and manatee. knowledgeable of the area and very professional!

    what a great fishjng adventure!

    Half Day Trip2 adults

    Captain Paul did such a great job getting us to the fish! We caught lots of snapper, a couple of lady fish, a few snook, husband got his in but mine saw the net coming and did a shook lose but it looked pretty big! I caught a big sting ray that was a fun fight. We caught a few trout (no keeper sizes) until mother nature decided to send a storm our way. Cpt. Paul let us stay out on the water longer then the 4 hours not counting the drive time which was a nice bonus :) He was also very patient getting us untangled from trees, docks, and each other! LOL! Good day on the water!

    Awesome day on the water with Captain Paul

    Half Day Trip3 adults

    Booked a morning charter with Captain Paul and he was great. He runs a 21-foot Skeeter bay boat that gets right into the shallow mangrove pockets. We timed the outgoing tide perfectly and caught a handful of snook, including a good size snook to round off the day, and a solid redfish. We also kept plenty of quality mangrove snapper for tacos tonight. Paul knows his stuff and put us right on the fish. Great guy to fish with and a wonderful guide. Highly recommend booking with him.

    Brandon, Thanks for choosing me as your captain. That was a great day. When you find those holes where the snapper are biting…so much fun. Hope we can do it again sometime. 👍🎣 And thanks for the review.

    Great Trip

    Half Day Trip2 adults

    We had a blast, plenty of action amongst several spots. Paul is a great captain and even better dude. He is very patient and encouraging, he illuminates postive energy the whole day. He photographs the whole trip which is a nice touch, now we have a very well documented trip. Paul is very knowledgable with all the wildlife in the bay, we learned alot. Overall very satisfied with the fishing trip.

    Response from Captain

    Wow, Kyle. Thanks for the kind words. That was a great outing, and I’m so glad you boys enjoyed the day. If you get back this way, let me know and we’ll do it again.

    Best fishing trip ever, hands down!!!

    Half Day Trip2 adults

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Captain Paul really delivered!!! He asked what we were were hoping for and he hit a home run! Limited out on snapper and redfish! Also caught a beautiful drum, sheepshead, and snook! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 10/10!!!!
