Fightin' the wind... and havin' fun!

4hr Half day starts at 8:30Am.1 adult

Capt. George did everything he could to help me land the big one, but between the wind and my inexperience, all I could land were a few small ones. Still had a great time, though.

Response from Captain

I really appreciate the review but if you remember how we ended the trip with all the trout you were catching two at a time. As you were reeling in one trout I was handing you a rod that was hooked up already to the next one. On the inexperience, I think you caught on quick and started nailing the fish at the end!!! I look forward to getting you out there again, hopefully under better weather conditions. The weather was very unusual for that time of year but at least you caught about 15 or so fish and all on artificial! Thank you for the review, Capt. George Hastick

    Great family experience.

    3hr Quickie Morning trip • 5 adults • 3 children

    We caught too many fish to count and had an amazing time fishing with Captain George! He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and made our first sea fishing trip easy and enjoyable. He knew exactly where to find the fish and was always happy to help, making sure everyone had a great experience. We couldn't have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Captain George to anyone looking for a fun and successful day on the water!

    Reported Catch

    4 Hour with Captain George

    Half day morning 4hr starts 8:30 AM

    Had an amazing day on the water with Captain George! We went to several different spots for different varieties of fish and caught and kept fish at every spot. My son landed a slam Snook, Redfish and and trout. Not only that but plenty of snapper in the cooler as well. Boat was great, tackle was great and Captain George was on it all day! Would HIGHLY recommend for an amazing experience

    Jeff, I am glad that you and your son had a great time. We had a solid 4hr bite, and I was glad when Jeffrey landed his snook and achieved his slam! We were able to avoid the rain and the weatherman had it wrong again. I look forward to getting you out there again, until then be good. Capt. George Hastick

    Captain Hastick is knowledgeable, very attentive and knows where the fish are. He easily worked with three of us keeping hooks baited, casting in difficult situations and keeping us on fish.

    Reported Catch
    Snook

    Terrific fishing trip with a terrific captain!

    Half day morning 4hr starts 8:30 AM • 2 adults

    Captain George put us on the fish right away. George was a great guide. He was set up to fish for several different species. He was extremely patient and helpful, and showed us exactly what to do to successfully land the fish. He filleted our catch so we could take it to the local hook&cook restaurant. Thanks for a great day of fishing.
