This was exactly the fishing fun we needed for our super spur of the moment trip with a teenaged kid that wanted to catch fish in Florida. Lots of different species, super friendly contain and never a dull moment. It helped that the weather was great and we caught lots of fish.

Captain Kenny was outstanding. He got us reeling in fish right away. We kept him bust baiting hooks and netting big fish until it was time to call it a day. Great day fishing. Highly recommend, thank you very much. Looking forward to another fishing trip with him next year.

Unfortunately I'm not able to run charters for a while as I'm due to have surgery on my back! Trust me when I say, I'd love if I was able to run but my back says no! As our business has grown over the last 15 years, we have added boats and captains. If you choose to fish with us again, please request me or any of my guides and I will make it happen! We appreciate y'all's business and from mine to your's God Bless!

Kenny was AMAZING! The fish weren’t biting but we had such a great time! Richard was unable to take us out due to a scheduling conflict but Kenny was there to take us out.
He took us to several different spots and tried all the tricks but they just weren’t biting. Had the BEST time with him and would definitely book with Kenny again!

Captain was very nice, he rigged all of the poles and took us to lots of different locations trying to find fish. Used all kinds of bait, gave us pointers, but because of a tropical storm the week before the fish just were not biting.

Captain Rich was by far the best captain we have ever had during our fishing adventures! His boat was very comfortable. He made the effort to go to the fishing spots that would get us the most action. He was fun, funny and very quick to re-bait our hooks as soon as we lost our bait to the "nibblers" out there. My fiance and I cannot wait to go out with him again!
