Josh and I had an awesome afternoon hunt with this big cold front that came in. There are ducks absolutely everywhere - big flocks of redheads, shovelers, pintails, and blue bills. The tides have been a little struggle, but my Mud Boat is running really well and I can get...

Fort Pierce has been producing very well when the weather allows us to get offshore. Sailfish are in good numbers and are being caught on a regular basis. Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, King Mackerel are also around as well and being caught in good numbers once you find them. There are also a few Wahoo being hooked into as well. The bottom fishing has been nothing short of great with limits of "flag" Lane Snapper being caught as well as some nice Mangrove Snapper, Mutton Snapper and Cobia.

Larry was an absolute rock star!! My previous reservation fell through with another company and he gladly cleared his schedule to take my son and I on our first inshore fishing trip. Lots of fun, education and fish activity. We will definitely be booking with him again.

My buddy and I went on a half day inshore fishing trip with Capt Fred in May, in the Laguna Madre and had a really great time! Fred was punctual, professional, knew his business very well, found us good Redfidh and Trout and was very enjoyable company too! Highly recommend Cpt. Fred and Cpt Experiences.

A very challenging morning for Dawson and crew with freezing rain, snow, sleet, 30 to 32 degree temps, fog and they still managed to make it a fun experience for all of us hunters with them on Jan. 9, 2025. Birds stayed roosted til around 10:00 but then came in bringing some action which was fun and then entertaining to watch the crew chase down the downed birds in the slick clay mud! 🤣 7 birds on a day like that was pretty great in my book!

I had a wonderful experience hunting with Dawson and his crew on Wednesday January 8, 2025! We saw lots of birds, had 7 shot opportunities called if my memory is correct with anywhere from a lone bird to maybe 30 or 40 coming in. The total taken that morning was 21. Good action and enough for everyone to take some home! Also a nice bunch of friendly guys, hunters and crew included! Again, a very fun day!!

We had an awesome time hunting with Brice. We arrived a little early and crashed at his lodge on the property. The lodge was super spacious with enough beds to sleep an army, full kitchen, mud room, porch with a fire pit, the works. Brice drove us out to our blinds for our afternoon hog hunt and the hunt did not disappoint. We all downed nice hogs and each saw plenty. Thanks Brice for the great hunt and full freezers! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

Everyone needs to experience this hunt as far as I'm concerned. Elliott runs a great sandhill crane program top to bottom. He stays on the birds, can call em in like an absolute pro, and is totally focused on providing every group with a safe and successful hunt. He's got top-of-the-line coffin blinds and decoys and is a great dude to hunt with. We smoked em with Elliott and can't wait to run it back! Thanks Elliott, awesome times! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

We had an epic hunt with Clayton! We got into town late and crashed at his lodge spot in the middle of town. It has everything you need (and nothing you don't) to sleep a big group and we all had a great night's sleep. We were up early and followed Clayton to his tucked away spot. We got settled in the blind and Clayton started calling em in! The season hadn't hit full swing but we managed to bag some nice birds. Clayton's calling came in clutch and his retriever brought home the goods. Super nice guy with hilarious stories for days. 10/10 hunt, can't wait to run it back! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences
