Captain Oz was fantastic! Put us on the snook all day long. I set my personal best record with 21 snook to the boat. I will be planning many more trips with Afishionado guide services in the future.

Captain Chet Was amazing! His expert knowledge made for an extremely fun day. He took us straight to the manatees, even on a cold day, then put us right on top of the bit along the Bay for Bonnethead and Sheepshead. I don't think we will ever find a more experienced captain in the Bay, or a more fun one at that! I will be back in June, Captain Chet!

Capt Chet is a great guy and if you want to catch fish (Snook) he is the MAN! Had a super trip, caught fish in three different locations. I would hire Capt Chet again and again!!!🎣

Had a great day on the water with Captain Wade. We were on fish (snook) all the time. My boys had a great time and I caught my first saltwater fish on a fly. I’ve been on charters before, but I can easily say that Wade probably had the best communication of any of them. If you’re in the Tampa area, he’s worth the drive.

We have chartered a fishing trip with Wade several times now and he never disappoints! He is a fantastic guy and an even better guide, he definitely knows his stuff. He is so helpful and willing to teach that even if you don't have a lot of fishing experience you will still have a successful day! We have always caught a multitude of species, including some we weren't expecting! He also will clean and fillet your catch for you so they're ready to be cooked! Plus he is a great conversationalist! We refuse to charter with anyone else!

Professional. Expert. Exciting. MONSTER FISH. Spanish Mackeral, Red Snapper, Trout, Redfish, and Snook - all in one trip. I lost count how many times I've fished with Capt. Wade or how many different people I have brought on his boat - but, I have never left dissatisfied. One time we went hunting for Tarpon, and when that was slow, he took us to spots where we hooked up on snook and trout - no Tarpon, but we caught fish - you will always catch fish. This last trip was the second time with my pal Brian from Ohio - this may have been the BEST time I've ever had on the water fishing, with Brian scoring an in-shore slam from ONE spot and all within 10 minutes. Saturday, the water was a mess, he kept us out of the wind and on fish. Sunday, started out rough, but eased into a great day - and, again, ON FISH. A true estimate, we caught over 80 fish - quality fish. "Wade, here is what I want to target .." OK - let's go. "Wade, Brian just wants to catch fish .." OK - here we go. He gives you options, he suggests what may or may not be available due to weather and sea conditions. And, the guy is ONE FUNNY SOB !!!! You will not be disappointed -
