Captain Cooper successfully put us on fish. When one technique was not “hot,” we switched to another, which proved to be the ticket for the day. We caught trout, snapper, ladyfish, sheepshead, and catfish. Even a small Jack made it into the boat! We had the choice of keep, or catch and release, which we appreciated. Our Captain was informative about things we were seeing, and educated us about some of the fauna.
When moving from place to place, Captain Cooper slowed for dolphins and other fishermen. Everyone appreciated that!
We had fun, we caught fish, and we learned some things. I recommend this company, and especially Captain Cooper.

Nick was the best fishing captain we’ve had to date. We have gone on a handful of fishing charters all around, Nick and step up was the best. Starting with the boat, we had 5 adults plus Nick and we had an abundance of space for moving around the boat and space to sit during the times the boat was moving. With our 5 lines in the water, as we caught fish or lost our shrimp Nick was there with a net or another shrimp to get our line back into the water with no time wasted. We went to numerous fishing locations around the islands to make for a full day of reeling in fish, of all species! Thank you again for an exciting, yet relaxing day on the boat. Hats off to Captain Nick!

Although Mother Nature did not cooperate (high winds, low water visibility, chilly temps) and we came home without fish, we look forward to booking with Native Guided in the future. They were very understanding and generously offered to give us the trip ‘at cost’ instead of paying for a full day. It’s refreshing to deal with a business with such honesty and integrity and putting the customer first. Captain Stephen (a true native to the area) did his best to make our trip successful but every fisherman has days like this given the conditions we were dealt so we understand.
