I’ve went fishing twice with Jesus. Both times were amazing. We caught a lot of fish and had a great time. He’s very professional and courteous. I’d highly recommend.

My family had a our yearly 4th of July get together, and most wanted to hit the water for some fishing/Relaxation. Captain Chris of Pisces Fishing & Adventures made that happen, he went above beyond to cater to everyone no more the age and wants. The day we went out we hit a school of Maui, the kids could not bait fast enough, or should I say Chris and I lol. He even took his time to let the kids swim a bit after fishing on shell island. I would recommend Pisces Fishing & Adventures to anyone looking to have a great time. We will be going out again!!

We met Rene in the Naples canals and had an easy ride up to fishing areas. We located some peacock bass quickly on top water and missed a few bites. Rene quickly adjusted and swapped baits for everyone and we started catching fish.
