Just fished with Capt Kirby today. My son and I had a great day with big redfish, snook a tarpon hookup and a few other species. He was a knowledgeable and gracious Capt and will definitely be fishing with him again.

Our family of 4 took our first fishing charter with Captain Kirby in Bradenton, FL. He was informative about what to expect prior to the trip, kept in contact with us before the trip, and was ready and waiting for us at the boat launch that morning. Captain Kirby was well-equipped and very prepared for the trip. His boat and his fishing equipment were in excellent condition. He was extremely knowledgeable about the species of fish we’d be catching in the different spots in the bay. He was very patient and caring as he assisted our kids with the fishing equipment and being safe on the boat. We caught many fish which was very exciting to the kids that day. Captain Kirby was very personable and asked us about our previous experience fishing and shared information about his family as well. He was even highly regarded by his fellow fishing charter captains there. We were extremely pleased with our experience with Captain Kirby and are looking forward to working with him again on our next visit.

We had an amazing day on the water with Captain Alex today! We went to 4 spots throughout the day and had great success catching Mangrove Snapper, a bonus trout, and redfish. There were many other catches not in season which meant plenty of time reeling in fish! Captain Alex was incredibly friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We will absolutely be booking with him again as soon as possibly! Thank you Captain Alex!

Captain was knowledgeable and made sure I caught fish for dinner, then we went on the hunt for snook and caught some really nice fish

Vacationing on Longboat Key from Michigan and enjoying the beautiful scenery and weather. Missing boating and fishing we took advantage of booking a half day fishing charter with Captain Alex. He was prompt, professional, and friendly. We enjoyed fishing at three different places all yielding different a variety of scenery and fish caught. Alex was well equipped and knowledgeable keeping us busy catching fish! The surroundings were amazing and we spotted Dolphins as well as a Manatee who swam right up to the boat. We kept the good eating fish and Alex filleted them well and put them on ice for us when we came into dock. We had a wonderful time and would return again as well as recommend Captain Alex to anyone visiting this area!
