About Your Trip

Southern Florida is home to some of the greatest inshore fishing in the country. On this epic fishing experience, Captain Mike will be directing you through the endless flats, creeks, and rivers, looking for trophy Snook, Redfish, Trout, and Tarpon. He's an extremely experienced guide, and will do everything he can to help you hook up a giant! You'll be fishing using live bait and light tackle, so be prepared for hard hits and long fights with these fish.

On the day of the trip, you'll heard out aboard Captain Mike's 17' Redfisher flats boat—an ideal vessel for fishing these shallow inshore areas where the fish like to congregate. She has everything you need for a great day on the water. Captain Mike will provide all the rods, reels, bait, and tackle. All you need to bring is sunscreen, a hat, proper clothing, a pair of polarized sunglasses to spot the fish, and some food and drinks.

Mike was an amazing host. Took my 9 year old grandson who doesn’t fish very much and taught him quickly how to live line shiners for some very large bass. We went through 4 dozen baits in three hours and I am guessing we caught around 20 bass up to 8 pounds. He has the patience you need and a lot of fun to fish with. Highly recommend!
