He was great with my son and I. Very patient and worked very hard to move to find fish. We limited on trout, caught some redfish, and multiple trout just under the limit. I would recommend him to everyone

Mike was wonderful. Put me on the fish early and had a great time doing it! Also had an encounter with the TPWD, gave us a report and we did better than the majority of the boats on the water! I’ll be coming back without a doubt.

Captain Mike was hands down the BEST!! He beat us to the dock so that’s saying something. This Captain put us on the fish early and he kept us on them. No kidding box was full by 7:45am. Definitely a hell of a good time. Not sure if he realizes it or not he gained a customer for life with us.

We enjoyed our trip with Captain Mike. He was very helpful and patient with my dad. While we initially didn't have much success where we started, we soon moved to another area and started catching Trout and Black Drum. By the end of the 6 hours, we ended up with our limit of trout and had 5 black drum. We had several red drum, but no keepers. Captain Mike decided to extend the trip to give us an opportunity to catch some and took us to a couple of other locations but we were unable to land one. We appreciated him taking the time to allow us to try and catch some (ended up with an additional black drum) and enjoyed our time with him. Would (and have) recommend him. Thank you!
