We had an excellent time with Captain Mike. He not only takes you to where the fish are but educates you on how to fish for a particular species. Very kind and very knowledgeable. II wish I could give him more than 5 STARS. I will definitely use Mike as my future guide.

It's hard to review these types of trips a lot of factors go into this from weather, the way the fish bite etc. the trip was pretty straightforward nothing spectacular I was really bummed we did not catch a lot. Captain Mike was informative as a guide.
The fish were just not cooperating that day so keep that in mind. I would suggest though if you aren't sure what the fish taste like to have him use different zip lock bags, he put all of ours in one bag and I'm not sure which fish is what now. For what we paid though I can say it was more affordable that most other guides make sure you bring cash though I also didn't know about the live bait which was 25.00 it said it on his website but not on captain experiences so luckily, I had cash on me, but it affected the tip I was going to leave him.

Mike is a very professional fishing captain who is willing to take the time to share his knowledge and experience to improve your fishing skills/experience. He works very hard to put you on fish and I highly recommend booking a trip with Mike.
