Beautiful morning on the Intracoastal. Mike had rods ready, bait fresh, and his vibe is calm and confident. We had a mix of snapper and trout and enjoyed seeing dolphins, too.

First trip of the new year and we kicked it off with a bang! Redfish, flounder, and a surprise sheepshead. Mike’s knowledge of tide patterns made all the difference. We’ll be back in spring.

Had an awesome fall day with Captain Mike. The water was calm and the redfish were hungry. He even filleted a few for us to cook at our rental. 10/10!

Mike made this trip feel personalized and smooth. The 22’ Pathfinder is a fantastic platform—stable, quiet, and fishable in tight areas. We boated two slot reds and several trout. Would absolutely book again.

Fantastic summer trip! We fished light tackle and had non-stop action with redfish and jacks. Mike was great with gear tips and reading the water. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

This was a birthday trip for my father-in-law and Mike went above and beyond. We caught speckled trout and flounder near the Atlantic. He loved it, and so did we!

Backwater fishing at its best! Captain Mike was early, organized, and made the experience laid-back but productive. Redfish were the highlight, and the scenery around St. Augustine was stunning.

We took our kids on this charter, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Calm waters, beautiful weather, and Mike even taught them how to cast. Redfish and sheepshead were biting steady.

Captain Mike knows every nook and cranny of Salt Run. We bottom fished and ended up with a mixed bag of trout and snapper. This is Florida fishing done right.

Such a peaceful day on the water. My husband and I caught redfish, sheepshead, and even had a tarpon strike (we lost it!). Mike was patient and fun—can't wait to come back in the spring.

Captain Mike is the real deal! We explored the Matanzas River and landed a solid redfish and a couple of flounder. Calm waters, great coaching, and a peaceful setting made it perfect. Highly recommend for families or first-timers!

Captain Mike knows everything that there is to know about the local waters, I have been on many charters before but never seen someone who seemed to know literally everything about the waters we were fishing!
