Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year.

    Fish didn’t really want to cooperate, but thats fishing. Captain Nick was awesome and did his best. He was super chill and laid back. Lets just say we kept him busy cause our skipping under docks needs some work!

    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!

    Steve & crew were great! They kept our lines in the water, and attended to us quickly. The boat was clean and spacious, lots of space to get out of the sun, but maintain a breeze without getting down into the cabin. 100% would recommend you give Reel Deal a shot!

    Trip: Crushing Clearwater Offshore

  • ★★★★★
    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.

    Greg and his mate Logan were fantastic. They were friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, efficient, and very “fishy”! We had a great day with them. I recommend Captain Greg highly.

    Trip: St. Pete Offshore Experience

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Brad and his first mate were great for our outing. Since my kids were new to ocean fishing, he kept us within a few miles of shore and knew some rocky pockets where we hauled in many fish. We had a blast. One reason I chose Capt Brad was the 33’ boat which was roomy to maneuver for our party of six. They are friendly and accommodating.
