About Your Guide

As a lifelong fisherman, Captain Steve decided to make his passion his profession and has been fishing saltwater since 1996. He loves sharing his experience and knowledge with all kinds of anglers and is just as adept in helping kids land their first catch as he is in giving a professional fishing trip.

Captain Steve will take you out in his 24’ JH Performance center console which has everything you need for a productive day on the water. Up to 3 guests are welcome aboard with two coolers provided for fish and drinks and snacks. All 3 folks can comfortably fish from the boat, or you can all hop in the water and wade fish. The boat also reaches speeds of up to 50 knots, so you’ll be at the fishing spots in no time, spending the maximum time fishing. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided and live bait can be provided at market rate.

We had a wonderful time all around. I went with my brothers and we all have fishing experience but not from a boat. It has been raining a lot so we didn't have our hopes up for a large haul. Captain Steve took us around a couple places until we were able to get on some fish. According to the local posting we did quite well given the circumstances. We used his gear and had no issues. He knows his stuff and was very easy to be comfortable around for the entire time, which only added to our experience. He was very professional and helpful. We learned a thing or two and would certainly use him again. - Cheers and tight lines!

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
