"Captain Sandot is simply the best! He's incredibly knowledgeable about the local waterways and knows exactly the right setup for a successful fishing trip. We had an amazing time and caught over 30 speckled trout and three redfish in just five hours. Highly recommend!"

Had an all day trip booked with Captain Clinton. We met him at his boat and he greeted us like we'd been friends for yrs. He was very knowledgeable and experienced. He took time to understand each of our individual levels of experience and catered to each accordingly. He made the trip very fun and enjoyable. He put us in the right spots to catch fish. We will definitely be booking another trip in the future.

Captain Drake guided me, my dad, and my two brothers on a memorable two-day fishing trip. The day before, he reached out to discuss weather conditions, warning us that the first day might be challenging due to wind. Fortunately, the conditions improved when we arrived, leading to an outstanding day where we caught over 40 fish. A highlight was all three of us hooking into 20+ lb black drum simultaneously—an incredible experience! On the second day, we faced higher winds than anticipated, but Captain Drake still managed to find us plenty of fish. We ended up bringing home over 50, with a variety of catches, including speckled trout, redfish, and black drum.I highly recommend Captain Drake for anyone looking for a fantastic fishing experience. He was not only knowledgeable and fun but also made the trip enjoyable and informative. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him for future fishing adventures.
