Toho, Butler Chain and Felsmere have been great places to fish with both shiners and artificial baits shiners are best but artificial will produce if you are diehard on them Bassboat and pontoon boat trips for larger groups or folks with disabilities are available

Fishing has been consistently good for Redfish and Sheepshead, with a grab bag of other species. Black Drum, Seatrout, Jacks and Mangrove Snappers have all been in the mix. If the weather stays warm, expect Snook and Tarpon action to heat up quick!

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!

Captain Neal was an excellent guide and fisherman. We were on fish in the first thirty minutes and caught over 2 dozen fish. We absolutely recommend using his service and can’t wait to go back out with him again!

We had an amazing day with Captain Greg fishing out of Florida! Caught quite a few nice sized snook, and a few other smaller species. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely be back to fish with him.
