Captain's a real pro! We booked a shark fishing gig, and before our 8 am start, he casually snagged some live bait. Found us sweet spots to fish for snook and snapper while waiting for the shark action, making the trip a blast. I've tried other shark charters around here, but this guy takes the cake. Definitely the go-to for a laid-back and awesome fishing time.

Spent an awesome day out on the water, reeling in tarpon, snook, snapper, and barracuda. Captain really hustled to get us on those fish. Couldn't ask for a better day.

Spent a few hours snagging both dinner-worthy fish and bait fish. Following that, we hooked two sharks and added a couple more delicious catches to the mix. It was an incredible time. Highly, highly recommended!
