Kevin Moran
New Smyrna Beach, Florida
Reported: 3 weeks ago

King fish are in thick offshore. Great time of year for multi species bottom fishing. Caught everything from triggerfish to scamp grouper not too far offshore. Inshore, snook and bull reds are in and when you get the tide right you have the chance for a fish of a lifetime.

We had a great experience with Capt Mike. The communication leading up to the trip was professional and informative. We met Mike around 7 in the morning, he explained the day and the challenges of a cold snap. The air temp had dropped 20-30 degrees over the past couple of days. Mikes knowledge of the fisheries were excellent and we were soon putting fish in the boat. We caught 30+ fish to include some nice keeper drum. From the moment we got on the boat, Mike took great care of us and pride in getting up on fish. He even cleaned our fish and provided them to a restaurant to prepare for us. Great day on the water with Capt. Mike.

We had a great fishing experience with Captain Mike inshore and in the marsh area. Mike knew exactly where to go to catch the big ones. All five of us guys had a great day and caught lots of keepers. We would highly recommend Mike

Aaron is a lights out captain. Goes the extra mile and is funny and keeps things light and fun. My boys and I celebrated my birthday with 2 of the biggest reds of his season which was an awesome experience! Highly recommended.

Captain Aaron was fantastic ! The trip was a blast - our sons had the time of their life … caught redfish , whiting , sheepshead , lady fish , mangrove snappers and even a 50 pound bull shark … he was great with our younger sons who admittedly can be a handful !! Highly recommend!

We had a great day on the water. The bite was tough but Billy still got us some fish and we had a blast. We fished a lot of different spots and techniques all day. Will definitely book with Billy again when we come back.

Todd brought us to the spot and we started catching right away. Got enough to feed 6 the next day. He is always baiting the hook or doing something for us. I would love to go with him again. David Doyle
