Alex is a consummate professional; demonstrates the uncommon ability to banter with and keep kids on the fish while being relatable to adults. If you want your crew to experience a great time and remain comfortable, this is your guy.

Amazing trip with Captain Bobby. He took us to 4 or 5 different spots, and plenty of fish at each spot. My grandson’s (7 and 10 years old) were fishing for the first time, and Captain Bobby was very patient and helpful with them. The trip exceeded our expectations!

I had 5 teens with little to no experience fishing. They caught a lot of fish , learned a few life lessons, and most of all had a great time .

Trip: Captain's Choice Fishing Adventure
★★★★★
I had a great time fishing with Jesse. I am an experienced fly and spey fisherman from the northwest. My first salt water experience was fishing with Jesse. We were in Florida for a wedding. I spent one day fishing with Jesse. I learned a lot. Her provided first-rate equipment. He was patient with me as my muscle memory kept doing trout sets rather than strip sets. I would fish with him again.

My family had an amazing experience. Brian was very personable and took us to some great spots. We caught some big grouper and lots of grunt fish. I would absolutely go back out on the water with him and his crew.
