Ratings & Reviews Summary
July 26, 2024
Highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Santos! My friend and I recently booked a morning trip with him and had an awesome experience. He has a beautiful new Maverick poling skiff that allowed him to take us in some narrow creeks where we caught some nice redfish. Capt. Santos also has plenty of patience for people that are not fishing pros. He coached me along throughout the day giving me advice and tips to help me catch the next fish. We are definitely looking forward to our next trip with him!

Captain Santos ("Jr.") was a great guide. He worked so hard in very tough conditions to put us on some great fish including nice snook and redfish on top water. He is a dedicated and hard core light tackle and fly flats fisherman in the classic tradition! The area around Ozello is amazing, unspoiled water. He also is a blast to be with, with a fun relaxed personality. Highly recommend!
