Captain Nick Is Amazing

Half Day Trip AM - Inshore (MAX 3)3 adults

This was the best fishing charter I have ever been on. Captain Nick was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, patient and totally flexible to what we wanted. He worked tirelessly the entire time baiting our hooks, casting, giving us advice, guiding us on how to reel in the fish. We felt like he enjoyed the trip and genuinely wanted all to have a good time and catch fish. Everyone on the trip caught fish and had a fantastic dinner that night. I would recommend Captain Nick to anyone thinking about doing a fishing trip in this area.

    Perfect Day

    Half Day Trip AM - Inshore (MAX 3) • 1 adult

    The winds were calm so Nick suggested we go offshore. We got to an area he had marked on his GPS. We were on fish immediately. Caught a wide variety of fish. A 4 to 5 foot shark followed up a smaller fish I had caught. Great to see. Sharks bit us off a few times so Nick set up a pole for sharks. Within 3 minutes we were hooked up. After about a 25 minute fight we got the fish to the boat. This was a 6 footer. Had a great time, came back to shore with tired arms from reeling up all the fish. Will definitely fish with Nick again. Just a great friendly guy. You won’t go wrong fishing with Captain Nick!!!

    Great Experience!

    Half Day Trip AM - Inshore (MAX 3) • 2 adults

    Great boat, great gear, great captain. Captain Nick is awesome. Very personable and welcoming. We had a cold front move in, and Captain Nick called me the day before to warn us and let us know he’d get creative. He turned a day that would normally be a slow bite into an epic day. Caught multiple species (snook, snapper, Jack, catfish). Nick is a wealth of knowledge with a wide range of expertise in targeting just about all species. Which was extremely helpful to a fishing novice with us. As someone who’s been on dozens of fishing charters, Captain Nick is one of the best.

    Fantastic Fishing Experience with a Great Guide!

    Half Day Nearshore/ Gulf of Mexico • 3 adults • 2 children

    If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing experience in Englewood, Florida, I can't recommend Captain Nick enough! We had an amazing time fishing both in the Gulf of Mexico and the inland waters, and Captain Nick made the whole trip special. From the moment we met, it was clear that Captain Nick was not only an expert fisherman but also fantastic with kids. My young ones were totally engaged throughout the day. He was patient, teaching them the basics while making sure they had a blast reeling in their catches. The way he kept things fun yet educational was awesome. And from my 11 year old he said "I feel like he's my best fishing friend now." Whether we were out on the Gulf, jigging for some larger catches, or on the calmer inland waters, he knew exactly where to go for the best action. His local knowledge was spot on, and he made sure we were comfortable with the gear. The equipment was top-notch. Overall, the experience was fantastic. We walked away with plenty of fish, 9 species total, great memories, and a new appreciation for the sport. If you’re in the Englewood area and looking for a fishing trip that’s both relaxing and thrilling, definitely give Captain Nick a call. Highly recommend!

    I can't thank you enough Chris. That was a nearly perfect morning on the water with a great mix of both inshore and nearshore fish. You guys are welcome back anytime. Thank you again for booking Whipp it Reel Good Charters. Tight lines, Captain Nick Whipp

    2nd trip even better then the first!

    Half Day Trip AM - Inshore (MAX 3) • 2 adults • 1 child

    This was our second trip with Captain Nick. This trip was even better then the first. We fished inshore last time and offshore this time. Captain Nick put us on plenty of fish, including some Goliath gouper. We look forward to next time.
