Reel natives sport fishing seems like a good charter to choose for those looking to head out, however I have to be honest, we (group of 6) weren’t completely satisfied with our trip. Captain Trevor was a good captain and made sure our rods were tied and re tied when necessary, he was a nice genuine guy that was friendly and easy to get along with, he knew his stuff and seems knowledgeable. The boat was very spacious and had comfortable bean bag chairs for the ride. Moreover, we spent almost 2hrs trying to catch bait (1hr and 40 mins to be exact) and that was a mood killer for us as we were excited to fish the full 5hrs. We payed $630 for a 5hour trip and ended up only fishing about 2hrs and 30 minutes. When paying that much we expected that the bait situation was already going to be set and we fish for 5 hours as the description says. We as a group felt it was unfair to us to pay $630 for basically 2hrs and 30 mins of fishing! We didn’t get the time desired to fish for our target species of snook. Another mood killer for us was that when nothing was biting we stood in the same spot for the 2hrs and 30 mins we fished, we know how fishing goes and we did miss a couple of hook ups but when the bite dies completely in a area I would think it’s time to change the game plan and either target something else or move spots. But we were idle in the same spot for the whole time. Like I said we did hook up and lose fish and that’s how the game is you win some you lose some but this trip we lost all as we did not catch anything and did nothing to change the game plan. As said before Reel natives sport fishing is still a good charter and I do recommend people book with them, just contact the captain with any questions before hand. Captain Trevor nothing against you, it was still a awesome time to be on that 29’ boat and be on the water. Blessings!
