We all landed sharks today! The captain stayed busy keeping us on the fish and making the necessary tackle adjustments. Right before wrapping up, we hooked an impressive 8’ bull shark. Watching it being reeled in was incredible — the captain even had to maneuver the boat toward it to keep from running out of line. He shared plenty of interesting information and was easy to talk to. We’ll definitely book with him again next time we’re here!

Tanner was fantastic! We exceeded every goal we set. Since it had been a while since we’d been on the water, we wanted to make the most of our time — and we did. We caught multiple species for the table, battled sharks for fun, and enjoyed unbeatable scenery. Thanks again!

The boat was well equipped, and the captain was friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to great fishing spots where we caught a total of 9 fish, including 2 huge redfish. He baited our hooks the entire time and cleaned and bagged the fish exactly how we wanted. Very pleased with the trip!

Best Surfcasting Lessons Ever! Hi Ron! Thanks for a great day of casting! Can't believe you held a 10 year old attention for so long we really appreciate how well you work with kids and the time you took to let the little guy learn not only how to cast and work different lures, but the fly casting bonus as well! He learned so much. Thank you so much for the memories that will last a lifetime. The McLanes.
