    Trip: Cape Coral Inshore Excursion

    Capt. Logan was best fishing charter experience yet! He got us on fish quickly and was great getting my kids going and off catching snook. His equipment was well prepared, clean, and ready for the day. A few times we had doubles going and he was cool and collected even with the occasional snagged line. When it was time to take a break Logan took us to get the "Cheeseburger in Paradise" at Cabbage Key Inn. Then we headed back out for some trout and was able to score a couple keepers and our dinner problems were solved. Capt. Logan's music choice on the way out and way in was great for our family. We highly recommend Logan if you are looking to fish in Southwest Florida. We will be back, maybe for iguanas though.

    My trip with Captain Logan is kinda hard to put into words, but I’m gonna try. This Marine, and I say marine cause that is what he is, loves his job. It shows with his knowledge of the area and of the fish that you catch. I have done quite a few charters and Captain Logan is, by leaps and bounds, the absolute best I have ever used. I am going to make special trips from Indiana to his area just to go fishing with him. Captain Logan if you read this next time I come down I’ll bring the MRE’s. Semper Fi devil and thanks for the absolute best fishing trip.

    This was a very fun experience for our family! Brandon was a great captain and very friendly. We have very little experience with fishing and Brandon made it easy for us and even cleaned our fish!
