My wife, daughter, and I had an incredible half-day excursion with Captain Tony! His expertise led us to a successful fishing experience in a picturesque setting right from the initial cast. As a Bradenton native who has moved away, I aimed to showcase the beauty and abundant fishing opportunities in the area to my family, and this trip exceeded our expectations. We landed Snook and Snapper, encountered breathtaking wildlife, and stumbled upon a charming mangrove island that delighted my daughter. I wholeheartedly recommend this trip and look forward to booking another adventure with Captain Tony in the future!

Captain Tony exceeded our expectations in every way. Our group consisted of five people, including two 9-year-olds, and his spacious skiff provided ample room and shade for all of us. Captain Tony's expertise was evident as he navigated us to various spots teeming with multiple fish species. He's an exceptionally skilled captain, and without a doubt, we'll be booking with him again. Whether you're planning a family outing or you're a die-hard angler, Captain Tony caters to all. If you're extremely serious about catching fish, rest assured, he's got you covered. Trust me, he knows how to put you on the fish!

We began our trip with the intention of targeting tarpon but shifted our focus as the day progressed. We successfully caught a few snook and a trout, making it a rewarding outing. The overall experience was exceptional, with the added bonus of our guide assisting my son in hooking and reeling in some fish. Additionally, our guide's keen eye enabled us to spot several marine creatures we might have otherwise missed, including turtles, sharks, stingrays, and the gentle giants of the sea, manatees. It was truly a memorable adventure on the water.

We retained 11 trout and 3 bluefish while also successfully catching and releasing numerous others. Tony provided excellent guidance, addressing our queries, and ensuring we had a productive fishing experience. Moreover, he displayed exceptional patience and skill when accommodating the child in our group. I wholeheartedly endorse his services and would certainly recommend them to others.

Went out with Capt. Tony and Andrew yesterday. This is our second year in row booking a charter with them and we were not disappointed. These guys will put you on the fish!! We have an eight year old son and they do a wonderful job of engaging with him and teaching him how to fish. Not to mention taking in all of his #chasefacts . Can’t wait for next time.
