Had a fantastic time on the Englewood fishing charters, where we caught some impressive grouper. Everyone on board was thrilled with the experience.
The snapper bite was decent to start but fell off a bit as the morning progressed. The bite from other fish species was steady all morning long.
Snook fishing in Florida was an unforgettable adventure. As I cast my line into the shimmering waters of the Gulf, the thrill of hooking into these powerful and elusive fish was matched only by the stunning backdrop of Florida's coastline, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Great day—we caught grouper, snook, flounder, snapper, sea trout, and a few other fish. Captain Ron was great with the kids and cleaned the fish perfectly. We had a delicious dinner that night. Really enjoyed the trip and would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommended.

Captain Ron was great. He took the time to show my 15 year old son how to use different baits and equipment. He was very knowledgeable about the fish, the area, and where to find them. I highly recommend him. He is a fun and funny captain who clearly cares about what he does. After the trip, we even watched him catch two pelicans just to remove hooks from them. He is not only a good captain but also a good person with a good heart.
