Manny was incredible. We had a great time and caught a lot of fish. When one area was a little choppy he realized my daughter was really nervous so he took us in closer to shore where it was more calm.  My son loves to fish and the rest of us were rookies. He was a great instructor to us all. If we are ever back in the keys we’ll be booking with Manny again!

What an amazing day. We took off from the Tarpon basin from a convenient little neighborhood dock. The water coming through the canals was crystal clear. The tide was running strong. We went out to a patch reef that at first didn’t seem to have much going on. Once the Capt found the right drift he set the anchor, put out the chum, got the rods ready, and then they started coming. We caught many fish to including a 15” mutton snapper,  several 12+ inch yellowtails, mangrove snapper, 18” Red Grouper, and an 8lb trigger fish.  If we had a little better skills we may have managed some bigger fish. But it is hard to react and stop a freight train grouper if you have never done it before so we lost several nice fish due to poor reaction times. We will get them next time. And next time we will be again fishing with our new keys Captain, Capt Manny. And also that Mako 25 is a sweet ride. People who like boats should book him just to ride on that baby.

It was great!  He was energetic, hard working and knows where the fish are hanging out. His boat is well maintained and ocean worthy.  Our catch included Glassy Snapper, Brown Spotted Grouper, Princess Parrot Fish, Sailor’s Choice Grunt, Blue Stripped Grunt and Yellow Tail Snapper.  We also had four fighters that we hooked and were reeling in when something much bigger bent our rods U shaped and snapped our lines. Captain Manny blamed those on “Shark”.  Overall it was a pleasant experience for us and a perfect way to spend the morning offshore in Key Largo.

Capt Manny had great communication before the trip and was flexible as far as timing and what we wanted to try fishing for. He worked hard and was very attentive making sure we were always fishing while we were on the water. Good guide!

We had a great time on our excursion with Manny! He is a very knowledgeable, experienced Captain!
We would highly recommend booking him for this experience when you’re in the area! We would definitely do it again! We were very inexperienced fisherman, and he took very good care of us. We caught enough fish to have a nice meal that evening! Thank you again for everything Manny.
