My brother and I booked Wayne for a 3/4 day trip. Arrived to fishing grounds right at sunrise and, BOOM, it was hammer time! Caught a couple nice sized and hard fighting jacks right away, missed a couple tarpon, then hooked up with a hard fighting tarpon that we were able to wear out and bring boat side. Finished the day off taking home some Lane and Mangrove snapper. Also caught and released grouper, puffer, porgy, and pinfish. Captain Wayne did such a great job!! Thank you! Will book again.

Great trip with our two kids. Caught a ton of snapper, over 20 keepers. Captain filleted them for us and we went across the street to Burdines Waterfront restaurant at the captains recommendation. They cooked the snapper three different ways and we enjoyed with the incredible fresh cut French fries. A highlight of our trip. Would definitely recommend this fishing charter!

Capt. put us on tons of fish! We limited out of Mangrove snapper and filled a cooler with fillets. Wayne is very knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and fun to talk with. Highly, highly recommend him. I hope to book another trip soon.

Our family of four had a great time with Wayne. We caught all types of snappers which were promptly enjoyed for dinner that evening (thanks to Wayne’s fish prep). Definitely recommend Wayne for a great day out!
