Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

    Captain Hank was a wonderful addition to our trip! He was smart, funny and a great conversationalist. The fishing was slow but we knew that with the pre day conversation of wind and murky water. We caught an array of different species including a bonnet head shark. Thanks for making memories with us Hank! See you next trip down from Canada!

    Captain Tommy is awesome! I searched through all the guides for a Tampa Bay fishing trip. Decided to pick Tommy because he would take take kids. And while my son and I aren't kids, I figured he must be a patient man. Boy was I right! We aren't novice fisherman by any means, but I don't particularly like a judgmental guide. Captain Tommy is great, gave us lots of options. I specifically said we just wanted action, and we sure got that. Seven hour charter under the absolute worst conditions! Absolute low tide with a full moon cycle at the start. We ended up with 52 fish landed.

    We had a great time. We caught around 40 fish. Gray snapper, Redfish, Porgy, and Sheep Head. Caught some group or two, but they’re out of season so I’d throw them back. The fish we did keep we took back and cooked them up. They were delicious.
