Ratings & Reviews Summary
July 1, 2025
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.

We booked Precision Backcountry Charters through fishing booker for a trip with my dad son and uncle. Cant Mike was super responsive and easy to deal with. We were unfortunately not able to go out due to tough conditions and wind/chop and we worked to reschedule, Mike was flexible and we had similar conditions on the re-booked day. While I cannot speak to Mike's abilities as a fisherman (from my reading of reviews and research I think he rates very highly) I can speak to Capt Mike's abilities as a responsible and thoughtful Capt. he put enjoyment and safety ahead of profit, he could have easily taken us out, got paid and moved on but he chose not to and refunded out trip and I found that to be honest and commendable. Next time we are in the St.Pete/Tampa area we will 100% be going out with Capt. Mike.

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!
