Had a great time with Wade.  He was able to get us on some trout within about 20 minutes of leaving the dock.  There was multiple tournaments the weekend he took us out but he still had solid spots that all produced.  He handles pretty much everything besides casting and reeling, so this would be great for less experienced folks too! 
(He’s a great photographer also!)

We had a great time, thanks again for everything Wade.

my original “guide” I booked on here (johnny tb a no-show) ghosted me after I booked a month ahead, took multiple days off work, airfare, hotel, car rental, etc.  anyway, in comes the afishianado!  saved the day! great guide, very ool dude, personable and honestly the hardest working guide I’ve ever had the luck of using!  he will show up (key detail!!!) on time, loaded with bait, and ready to put you on the fish!  a guide’s job is to help you catch fish, not make you watch HIM catch fish, and captain owen gets it!  I had a blast and hope to be in the tampa area again one day so we can get back out and catch some more!  I definitely recommend this guide!

I’ve used many fishing guides through out Central and North America and hands down Afishionados has been by far the best. We were a group of 5, 2 Adults and 3 kids. I was the only one in the group with a lot of fishing experience, but it didn’t matter. Captain Wade made it so easy and fun to fish the my young niece and nephew, who had no fishing experience, had an amazing time. All the other guides that I have hired have had a fist mate helping them, so when I saw that Captain Wade was working by himself, I mentally prepare myself and the kids to have a lot of down time, but I was pleasantly surprised that this was not the case. Captain Wade’s system for baiting your hook was so efficient that you spend almost all of your time with your line in the water. Which equates to catching more fish. I caught more keepers on this trip than I did in my last 3 trips combined. Also, Captain Wade is a trained photographer and it shows in the quality of the pictures he took. He takes care of taking all the pictures, so that you don’t miss out in capturing the great memories. I can’t wait until I’m in the Tampa area again so that I can hire Captain Wade of Afishionados to take me on another amazing fishing trip.

Cptn. Wade of Afishionado put us on specs and silver trout, mackerel, and mangrove snapper. He provided a safe, fun and memorable outing.  Thanks Cptn. Wade!
