"So our little family chartered a nice fishing trip here recently and we really enjoyed our time. Captain Brad and Ryan are very knowledgeable and all around great guys. The fishing spot was the bomb we all caught something. The price is well worth it and we look forward to doing it again. You can't go wrong chartering these guys! They deserve 10 stars!!"

"We had an amazing time and a fantastic overall experience. I highly recommend this guide — Brad was extremely knowledgeable and experienced. We landed two sharks over 6 feet long, each weighing around 160–200 lbs. We likely would have caught four if not for a couple of rookie mistakes on our end."

"What an amazing experience. Captain Brad was extremely professional and very determined to make it an exciting fishing trip, and it sure was! We went with our group of 5 and everyone was given the opportunity to fish. We caught 7 and took home 2 bonnethead sharks that they filleted for us. Knocked another one off the bucket list. Can't thank him and his first mate Ryan enough. Definitely going to come back!!"

"Captain Brad and Ryan are top notch guys and outstanding to fish with! Third time fishing with them this past July, and we bested ourselves yet again with a monster Tarpon! We actually hooked into two that day — the second fish BOATED!! Hands down mine and my daughter's favorite saltwater fishing guides. We highly recommend booking a trip with Brad and Ryan!"

Conditions are very calm, making it an excellent choice for beginners, children, or those prone to seasickness. Target species include Redfish, Snook, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, and Sheepshead. This experience provides consistent action with light tackle, ensuring a hands-on, active fishing experience.
