It's hot and it's that time of year were we have to dodge a few storms but the bites still great and there are plenty of fish to be caught. Getting close to the fall fishing bite and the reds should be schooling up soon

    Trip: Cape Coral Inshore Excursion

  • ★★★★★
    I brought my son down for a weekend of cast and bkast. We soent all day Sunday with Captain Vasiliy aka The Russian Redneck. He runs a very nice wellcraft center consolw. Boat is in great shape with lots if room. We met at the boat launch around 0745 and after quick introductions we shoved off. A quixk stop at a marina baitshop on our way and the day began. We hit an area on tge way out fir maybe 30 min to catch some live baitfish and puahed offshore around 8-9 miles. Over our 8 hour charter we moved to several locations. If a spot got slow, pulled anchor and off to another. I didnt count total fish caught, but several dozen grunts, at least 15 grouper, a hog fish, some others im nor familiar with. We lost a couple big fish. Guessing they were goliaths. I will absolutely go fish with him again. If youre looking fir a friendlt captain who keeps you on the fish this is the one.

    We had a great time out on the water with Captain Jerry! He made sure we had ice, water, and plenty of bait. The weather kept us inland a little bit but he was flexible and moved to where the fish were. Our boys were very excited to catch two sharks, two pufferfish, a catfish, and several other types of fish, some of which we were able to keep for dinner. Thanks Captain Jerry!

    We had an absolute blast fishing with Captain Ty! He put us on an incredible variety of fish, including Goliath grouper, shark, snook, and ladyfish. 🎣 Captain Ty worked incredibly hard the entire trip. He never gave up and did everything he could to put us on fish and keep us on them. His knowledge, effort, and determination made the trip an experience we won’t forget. If you’re looking for a great fishing charter, I highly recommend Captain Ty. We had an amazing time, and I will definitely be back and booking another trip with him! Thanks again, Captain Ty, for an awesome day on the water! 🤙🎣

    We had an amazing time fishing with Capt. Mike today!! Pulled in some nice grouper and red snapper!! Recommend at least a 6 hour trip to pull in big fish! On the way back to shore we had the most comfortable ride sitting in beanbags! Would 100% recommend. Shawn and Christine

    Captain Chris was amazing! He provided great communication before our iguana hunting trip and during. Captain Chris was great with his instructions for our 10-year old and 8-year old. He was also very considerate and had a great approach to dealing with kids. We saw quite a few iguanas, shot quite a few, and recovered quite a bit. Overall, it was a great experience and I'd highly recommend Captain Chris! Very knowledgeable and experienced!

    If anyone on this website is looking for a charter offshore in Sarasota, use Captain Mike! He is extremely professional, knows what he's doing and got us on the fish. Traveled out 50+ miles into the Gulf of America for a 3/4 day charter with my friends from Long Island and we started pulling grouper over the gunwales within minutes of dropping lines. No red snapper but had at least 20 grouper and a few nice mango snappers. Oh and a Goliath Grouper that found his way back in the rocks and broke off! That one hurt! If we got him up, I'd have been in the water for a pic. We had a killer time with fish, belly laughs and phenomenal weather. One of the best captains I have ever chartered by far! Seriously, this is your guy! While he still has his accent from Southie, he's a Floridian for sure! Had a great time with tight lines and fair winds!
