Half Day trip with Captain Robert

Half Day Trip (AM)2 adults

We went for a half day trip. The boat was nice, but my father is elderly so a leaning bar would have been ideal instead of a cooler for him to try to sit on. The day was a bit overcast, so fish spotting was a challenge but the fish I caught was a fish I spotted. I do not feel Robert saw fish until they were very near the boat. If our trip is at 10 am and we arrive at ten we should not beat you there and then have to wait for you to get the boat in the water. On a positive note he stayed out longer due to our lack of fish and I landed a nice bone fish, the first of my life and our only fish of the day. Thanks

Response from Captain

Thank you for the constructive feed back. Unfortunaley, i have a new boat so the best thing that I could provide was a cooler to sit on in which i thought would have been a better option rater than standing up. At this point, I am working on getting casting platform with a lean bar. Unfortunaley we had a cloudy day on the water which made sight fishing conditions tough so therefore most of the fish spotted were close to the boat. Unfortunately, I can only do the best I can in those circumstances when the clouds and the wind are a factor. We did catch a nice bonefish that day and had one eat a fly as well and had some juvenile tarpon missed the fly a few times. Besides that, I apoligize for the lack of acommendations.

    Not just going fishing but catching fish!

    Half Day Trip (PM)1 adult

    Captain Robert was fantastic. He went out of his way to accommodate me. From the pick up point to the cleaning of the fish. I cannot recommend this trip enough. I don’t usually leave for a review but he was exceptionally good and I felt he deserved 5 stars!

    Unforgettable Fishing Adventure in the Florida Keys with Captain Robert!

    Half Day Trip (AM)2 adults

    We had an incredible day fishing in the Florida Keys with Captain Robert! Our main goal was to get my son on a Tarpon, and Captain Robert didn't disappoint. He put us on fish right away, and although it was challenging to get them out of the mangroves, we hooked up several times. We took a break from Tarpon fishing to reel in a slew of Snapper, which was a blast. Finally, we hooked up and landed several nice Tarpon, which made the day even more special. We also caught lemon sharks, Snapper, Barracuda, and of course, those elusive Tarpon. Captain Robert's expertise and dedication made for a memorable day on the water. I highly recommend booking a trip with him if you're in the Keys!
