Snook season is open and the bite is consistently strong. Big bull redfish are starting to show up for their fall pattern. Fall is coming and it's the best time of year to fish the legendary Sebastian Inlet! The mullet run is heating up which is an awesome experience to...

Satellite Beach, Florida
Reported: 1 year ago

Pompano have been showing up in the area since we've had our first cold fronts of the winter. We are finding that there are lots of quality fish coming through which makes up for the lack of numbers. As this pattern goes on and with the weather cooperating we're looking...

AWESOME!! Captain Brent and Garrett were phenomenal guides. Brent took us out to the right spots and Garrett showed us the right techniques to land our 7 king mackerel and 1 barracuda. Myself and my brothers all had an awesome time and will and book with Captain Brent and Garrett again!

Excellent experience with Capt Rick and his 1st mate for a full day trip. We caught 7 fish and kept 6. We didn’t see any other boat returning with fish on this hot day. Upon returning, Capt Rick cleaned the fish for us.

Overall the trip with Richard was excellent. My party arrived at the prescribed time and Richard already had the boat off the ramp and in the water. We loaded out stuff and off we went. The trip to the spot he selected took about an hour to arrive. He kept the hooks baited and provided suggestions and helped our youngest (11 yo) to hook fish and bring them it. Richard had a great selection of live and frozen bait that worked very well. Of the four of us each pulled in at least two fish with some getting more. Good selection pulled in with at least 4 different breeds of fish being kept which Richard prepared for us after we arrived. Well worth the money spent. The captain became a friend.

We had a blast on Captain Rick's boat. He took us straight out to a reef on top of wide open Mahi, sight fishing. Hes friendly, understanding, super knowledgeable, helpful and all around does it to make sure all types of anglers get an awesome chart with some big trophy catches. I would highly recommend getting on Captain Rick's boat for a fun day of big game fishing. Offers drinks om the boat. Filet, clean, and bag our catch. Next time we get back to the area, he will be our first choice for our next charter. Thank you, Captain Rick. Till next time!

Couldn’t recommend enough. Kenny was really knowledgeable, a great coach, had a great set up and made sure we had plenty of decent catches. We also got the opportunity to spot some local wildlife along the way. Would definitely book with him again in the future.
