Took this gracious couple out in the Indian and St. Lucie River. They wanted to fish just for fun and had a blast. They caught mangrove and mutton snapper, this decent Jack Cravalle, along with some others. We saw some wonderful wildlife too

Jeremy was very nice . He has a lot knowledge of the areas . My Dad is almost 80yrs old and catching Snook has always been on his bucket list. Jeremy helped him check that one off.

Captain Remus and First Mate Big Willie were outstanding guides and instructors. We were novice fishermen and they made this a fun and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend them to be your Captain and First Mate! We caught 38 fish in 4 hours! They know where the fish are!!
