Captain Mike got us on fish on a grind of a day. Filled up our cooler and when we got back to the ramp we had the most fish of all the incoming boats.

Captain Mike's the best. I question his taste in music, though--ha ha. Seriously, though, he put us on the fish and got us to our limit right before storm rolled in which was especially impressive considering the two fools he had to coach all morning. Follow Mike's instruction and you ...Read More

Captain Mike was friendly and helpful. I (Stephanie) didn’t know how to cast—or really do anything—and Mike was patient and showed me what to do. My husband, Scott, caught several fish and Mike also let us reel in quite a few that Mike caught. It was a ...Read More

Captain Michael was a complete professional and knew what he was doing. Handled everything that was thrown at him from my inexperience to my tantrum having 5yr old. Helped my son catch his first fish and my son is already wanting to go back despite melting on the boat. Can't ...Read More

Our trip with Michael was all that we'd hoped it would be. He is knowledgeable about where and how to catch fish and was eager to make our experience as memorable as possible. We definitely recommend him and would choose him again!!

Had a great time with captain Mike. He put us on the fish despite not having the best weather conditions.

Rose

Captain Mike was absolutely phenomenal. From the first hour we were on the water, he had us on spots where we were already catching. His personality is friendly, helpful, and unfussy. We caught sheephead, redfish, trout, and too many other species to list. My advice? Book him ASAP!!!!!

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs.

Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
