My family just spent a great day with Lyons Charters. Having had some bad experiences with other captains it was refreshing to take a charter that focused on the trip not only the fish.(and we still caught a ton of fish!!) I am sure my family will have good memories for years to come. We are certainly looking forward to our next opportunity to get out on the water with Captain Mark and would recommend his service to anyone looking for fun trip.

I surprised my dad with a light tackle inshore fishing day and it was absolutely amazing! The captain was entertaining, friendly, knowledgeable, extremely helpful, and made this trip overall a perfect fishing day! If you are looking to try inshore light tackle fishing this captain knows where to find the fish and can teach you some very valuable skills to catching the keepers! An if you have been fishing inshore with light tackle before I would recommend this charter it was very reasonable prices for excellent service, I know we will be using his services again!!

We had a good day out on the water. We opted for the offshore/reef fishing because that was our highest chance of success. We had fish on the line most of the time -- many were catch and release due to size, but we had FUN and ended up with enough fish for four people to have dinner! :) Captain was very friendly and made sure we were happy!
