Captain Michael is the best!  We caught a variety of fish with a variety of fishermen:  52, 17, 15 and 7 y/o.  Captain Michael trolled for Spanish Mackerel to get some fish in the cooler and got my 7y/o his first saltwater fish.  Once we had our fill, he took us out to the pass where he hooked us some bull reds.  It was a great time had by all.  Michael’s knowledge of the area is superb and he put us on plenty of fish.  He’s a great guy and his boat is awesome.  Can’t recommend him highly enough whether you want a trip for a youngster or an old salty oldster or a couple looking to catch some fish and get out on the water.  He will game plan whatever you want and let you know what to expect.

Great trip! Michael was fantastic! Great guide and guy. Talked about fishing and why we were doing what we were doing to catch Red Fish. Didn’t just put us on fish but shared his knowledge. To me this is a what a great guide does.

We got on a good amount of fish and the targeted fish we asked for. He had cold drinks for us, bait, fishing licenses, everything we could have asked for honestly. Even gave us some places to go eat in Panama City Beach.

Thanks Michael and Shallow Tails!

This was my first time salt water fishing and it was a trip of a lifetime. First off we me and my father law arrived early and captain Mike was already ready to roll out. During the trip Captain Mike got us on a variety of species of fish and we absolutely hammered some big Red Bulls. My father in law caught a 40 inch red that weighed over 20lbs. Captain Mike was courteous professional funny and took the time to answer any and all questions. If this is your first time fishing in the ocean or if you just enjoy hammering huge fish this is the trip for you. Boat was spectacular and although we took nausea medicine before we came we did not need it as the boat was smooth and rode great. Fishing equipment was top notch bait was on point and we caught 4 different species of fish. Mike even kept us a hair longer in our trip to try to land one more big fish! If you are asking if the money is worth the trip it 100% is! Trip of a lifetime and Mike caught some great pictures that he sent to us later on after the trip was over. 10 million stars and we will def be back next time we come to visit! The adrenaline rush is insane! Thx Captain Mike for giving me and my father memories that will last forever!

Hands down best inshore bay trip I’ve been on. Captain Cowart started his day off with some extra work making sure we had the right bait and plenty of it. We had a short 5 minute boat ride then the action started, which was awesome, no wasted time with this captain. After landing our limit of reds, which put up a great fight to get the blood flowing, we headed to shell island for some trout. Beautiful water and coastline, many different species of fish, small sharks, and some sea turtles swam by as we landed 1 shy of a limit of gorgeous trout. I was super impressed with his boat and very nice gear. Captain Cowart was a blast to be around and talk with, very chill and seemed genuinely happy to be doing his job, which made the trip that much better for this small town east Texas guy. My wife and I are already looking to see when we can book our next trip with Captain Cowart. Thanks again for a great trip, and don’t forget those custom ice bags my man.
