The fishing is heating up and so are the water temperatures! Our customers have enjoyed targeting Snook, Redfish and Trout in Sarasota Bay along our oyster bars and seekers mud holes.

    Great 30 foot boat into 40ft deeper water! Michael was the best! Had a group of 3 and caught our limit of grouper! Did great about switching spots and keeping us on fish the entire time. Would highly recommend Michael for any fishing trip and will be using him again!!!

    What an amazing trip and experience on Father’s Day. I couldn’t have asked for a better captain. He’s extremely knowledgeable, accommodating to all family members no matter age or experience level and his passion is contagious. Can’t wait to go out with him again!

    Trip: Sarasota Inshore

  • ★★★★★
    Kyle is a very knowledgeable and professional captain. My son and I didn’t have a lot of time to squeeze in a long fishing trip but Captain Kyle put us on the fish. We caught 3 keepers (Trout and Jack), 3 non-keepers (Cat) and lost several bait to really strong hits in a very short amount of time! He kept the rods bated and cleaned and filleted the fish for us to take with us at no charge. We even had a few dolphin come up and greet us at one point! This is definitely a trip that will be remembered for a lifetime for both my son and I! Thank you Captain Kyle for the memories!
