    Wonderful time on the water. Captain George was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and active in catching all types of inshore fish. Definitely would use again.

    Thank you Matt, we had a blast. You got us on the fish fast and kept us fishing. We just had the best fish dinner with our own fish that you fileted for us. No fresher meal around.

    Trip: Bountiful Backwaters of Sarasota

  • ★★★★★
    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!
