The bait is finally showing up on the beaches. The bite is slowing down in the afternoon due the heat. Lots of fun bites out there though

A fantastic day out on the water. Chilly but comfortable. Captain Edwin is a real pro. We didn’t really catch much, but he went out of his way to try and find us some good spots. Very patient and very jovial captain great conversations Looking forward to having us guide us again in the near future

Brandon was great! Having grown up in the area, he really knows his stuff and found us some great fishing spots. Also, he took great care and showed wonderful patience with our seven year old grandson (who had a blast fishing). I highly recommend Brandon as your boat captain and guide.

We had a great time fishing with Capt Tim! His knowledge of the area maximized our time on the water, and his personality added to our enjoyment. Can’t wait to get out there again!

Edwin was the man! I went on a trip with my friend and my father, and we had a great time. We all got on some great fights with Goliath grouper which we won’t forget any time soon. Edwin was extremely accommodating with our plans, as weather was a big concern. He was very knowledgeable about the area, and provided us with many different options to fish throughout the trip. The boat and gear is all top notch as well. I have had a handful of experiences with different captains, and Edwin is as good as they come! I would recommend to anyone looking to have a good time and catch some fish!

Captain Edwin is the best guide around! His boat is brand new, Triton, newer than the listing shows. He took us straight to the giant grouper, we had fish in the boat within minutes of setting the trolling motor on spot lock. After the grouper bite slowed down, we ran to the mangroves and sight fished snook. He definitely knows what he is doing and didn't act like a smart-ass all day like other guides I've seen in the past. Super laid back and all business with the fish

Edwin was a great Captain. He was very easy to get along with and very knowledgeable with fishing and where to go to find great fishing spots. He was a pleasure to spend six hours with. I would recommend him to anyone and look forward to seeing him again soon.
