Great day on the water! Most knowledgeable crew I have ever fished with. They know where the fish are!
Thank you so much Andrew. You and your son were great to fish with. Hope to see you again. Happy New Year.
Booked this charter for my fiances birthday and I am so glad I did! We met them at the pier at Phil Foster Park and they made us feel comfortable emediately always offering beverages and making sure we were fine. They asked us prior what we were looking to accomplish and made sure we got that. My fiance wanted to fight with a fish and boy did we do a lot of that! Caught all kinds of beautiful fish. They try really hard to make sure they get you on too of fish. You couldnโt even blink fast enough and you had new baits on your line ready to go out. We had a great time, we will definitely repeat!

Thank you so much Nori. We had a blast. So glad we were able to make his birthday special. Thanks for choosing us. Hope to see you again.
I was planning a trip to Florida back in February. I was looking up fishing trips and came across Papa Bear Fishing. I chose them based on the great reviews. I must say my choice was spot on! Rudy and Mike communicated with me the entire time all the way up to the day of my scheduled fishing adventure. These guys know what they are doing! I had not met them before this trip but fishing with them was like fishing with old friends right from the start. My nephew Jordan joined us on the trip. We were always into fish wherever we went. The day was awesome and the fishing buddies even better! We will be back and will not even consider going out fishing with anyone but Captain Rudy and Mike. Great time with my nephew and my new friends! Book them for your trip. You will be very happy you did! Brian

Thanks Brian hope to see you again
Had a great trip with Captain Rudy and Mike. They worked hard to get us on fish. We caught a sailfish each of the first 2 days. The crew was able to make sure the sailfish survived each day. Great atmosphere on their family friendly charter. Brought my 13 year old son and Rudy and Mike made sure to help teach him how to fight the sailfish that he brought in by himself (no help from Dad). We caught a nice variety of fish each day from porgy to bonita to a few small mahi. Donโt hesitate to try these guys out. Itโs a fun father and son duo who will work with you to try to go after whatever you want.

Thank you Curt. It was a great pleasure having you and Alex with us. Until next time. Stay safe.
My family (ages 15 to 67) had a wonderful experience of deep sea fishing with Captain Rudy and Adam. We spent the day catching so many different types of fish and they took time to tell us about the unique features of some of them, it was awesome! We saw sharks, jellyfish, sea turtles, rays and more. They recommended we take some of our catch to Johnny Longboatโs, where theyโd fix it for our supper how we wanted it cooked; I highly recommend; food was delicious. We even had enough fish to bring home in a carry on bag on ice. This was a wonderful experience that I would definitely do again!

Thank you so much Rachel. I am so glad we were able to make your trip enjoyable. Hope to see you soon
If you want to catch a variety of fish this is your boat. Captain Rudy and first mate Adam were on time and ready go when we arrived. My wife and two teenage children were made to feel welcome right from the get go. We stopped on the way out at Sailfish Marina and purchased some live bait. I think the live bait was worth it but we did well on the dead sardines as well. We made Rudy aware that we hoped to catch some good eating fish to help cover the grocery bill for the duration of our holiday. He didnโt disappoint. We started in deep water (600 feet) in the seaweed beds hoping for some Mahi. After a few small barracuda messed with our bait for awhile we moved inland. We trolled through the seaweed beds for a bit but still no luck. Then we went to about 130 feet and fished some top water baits and bottom fished as well. This is when the fish came. The top water baits were hit by bonita and a nice mahi. On the bottom we caught mutton snapper, barracuda, porgy, yellowtail, almaco jack, caesar grunts, blue runners, queen and gray triggers. We would have easily doubled our numbers but the fish had to run the shark gauntlet on their way to the boat. Sadly a lot of them didnโt make it. Also the ramoras took a lot of our bait. Both Rudy and Adam worked extremely hard to keep all the rods baited and their combined knowledge of the area paid off. Most of all, these guys love what they do. Even though we have done a fair amount of deep sea fishing as a family we are by no means experts. The vibe on the boat was always relaxed and if mistakes were made it was no big deal. More importantly they both made sure to teach us new things to make the overall experience better. Adam processed all of our fish at the end of the trip and gave us some pointers on how to prepare them. All in all this was our best deep sea experience so far. 5+ stars for sure. Thank you Rudy and Adam!
