Had us on the fish all day.  We had a great experience and would go again in a heartbeat.

I had initially planned a full day tarpon trip, but when Mike contacted me, he suggested changing it to a half day trip due to unfavorable weather conditions. He genuinely cared about our experience and didn't want us to be disappointed. It was truly heartwarming to encounter such honesty, as he could have easily gone ahead with the full day trip and taken advantage of the situation. Thanks to his integrity, we were able to save some money. The half day trip turned out to be fantastic; Mike guided us to a lot of fish, and the entire experience was so enjoyable that I would gladly do it again. I highly recommend Captain Mike! Many thanks for everything!

I couldn't have asked for a better fishing charter experience. Captain Mike exceeded all my expectations. He skillfully guided us to excellent fishing spots, resulting in an abundance of catches. Beyond his expertise, Captain Mike's fantastic personality made the time fly by; in fact, I found myself wishing we could have extended the trip. Without a doubt, I'll choose to fish with him again whenever we return to this area. A perfect 10 out of 10!

Despite being a spur-of-the-moment decision, our 2-hour charter turned out to be incredibly successful. We had an amazing time catching five different species of fish, among them a blacktip shark. Even within the limited timeframe, we managed to catch enough fish to have a delicious dinner. The captain's assistance and encouragement were invaluable; he went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience and found the best fishing spots. We wholeheartedly recommend him to others and will undoubtedly go on another fishing trip with him in the future.

Despite facing rough water and strong winds of 20 to 30 mph, we decided to give it a try with Mike. He made every effort to assist us and managed to help us catch several fish. The highlight was a magnificent 26" redfish, and though we lost a larger one, we also landed a couple of snook and a catfish. Despite some missed opportunities, we had a great time with Mike. While the weather conditions deserved a 1-star rating, Mike's dedication and expertise earned him a well-deserved 5-star rating. We would gladly go out with him again in the future.
