    Trip: Bountiful Backwaters of Sarasota

    Excellent guide! We had a wonderful day with Bobby. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the trip wasting no time to change spots when the bite stopped. There were 4 of us and we had plenty space on his boat. We landed many snooks, mangrove snappers, trout, and more. We highly recommend Bobby and look forward to fishing with him in the future!

    Trip: Placida Inshore Experience

  • ★★★★★
    Capt. Jacob put us on tarpon early and often. One hook-up and quickly gone after one nice leap from the water. We had our chances early with plenty of fish around. Jacob kept up the hunt and our lack of fly casting wasn't a problem for the Captain. After we got more comfortable, we were able to land this nice tarpon on a fly. Something I have dreamed about for a while. Thank you Captain Experiences.

    Captain Steve was super flexible with us when we had to make a change, and also with the rain. He communicated clearly, regularly, and well! He knew the best times and place to fish! He really moved and kept our lines baited with fresh bait and with what was good for what we were fishing for. He is a fun guy, knows his stuff, came prepared, and made the experience great! We all caught at least one fish! (Not all pictured) And, one was a keeper! He filleted it for us right there (we brought a cooler with ice). It was the best fish taco I have ever had!! We would recommend him and go fishing with him again!
