This trip exceeded expectations! Thanks for the fun time.

I wanted to go after Mahi-Mahi, so I inquired and was informed that they weren't being caught lately. However, Paul guided us to where the Mahi-Mahi were biting! We managed to catch more than 20 fish and kept 7. It was an incredible experience, and I highly recommend it. Additionally, Paul assisted us in finding a reliable company to ship some of our fish back home and connected us with a local restaurant to have our catch prepared. The meal turned out to be absolutely fantastic!

Since bottom fishing didn't yield good results, we made the decision to try something different. And it turned out to be an excellent choice! We ended up catching an enormous sailfish. The captain and crew were fantastic, providing us with guidance and support throughout the entire process. Even though we didn't catch dinner, the experience was far more rewarding and enjoyable.

I had the pleasure of going out fishing with Captain Paul and first mate Micah, and it turned out to be a fantastic day. The water was quite choppy, so the fish weren't as active as we had hoped. However, my son managed to land a nice Almacore Jack, which we enjoyed for dinner a couple of nights later at our condo (it was absolutely delicious!). I also had the thrill of reeling in a good-sized barracuda, thanks to Micah's excellent effort. Despite the fishing conditions, we had an amazing time, and I would definitely go out with them again the next time I'm in the Keys!

We had an incredible time on our fishing trip. The weather couldn't have been better—it was sunny, hot, and there was hardly any wind. The deckhand was not only knowledgeable but also friendly and easy to get along with. While we didn't catch any big fish, we did manage to reel in a bunch of smaller ones. It was an enjoyable experience, and I would jump at the chance to do it again without hesitation!

I had an amazing experience with Captain Paul! He knew exactly where to take us to find the fish, and we ended up going home with a cooler full of fresh catch. It was a fun and exciting time on the water. Thank you, Captain Paul, for providing such a great fishing trip!
