We had an amazing day with Mike! My boyfriend, who is more experienced, celebrated his birthday in style, and Mike was kind enough to assist me with live bait so I could catch a few too. Fantastic trip! Mike quickly located the fish, and we caught our limits of trout and redfish. An outstanding guide—looking forward to our next trip!
Our time with Captain Mike was truly exceptional. It was our first boat fishing trip, arranged as a special treat for my son’s 17th birthday. Mike was extremely accommodating, easy to talk to, and incredibly knowledgeable about fishing. He patiently taught each of us, ensuring everyone learned casting techniques and enjoyed themselves. He worked hard to help us reach our catch limits, and I’m sure he would have stayed out all day to make it happen. As a beginner, this experience was exactly what I hoped for. Book a trip with him—you won’t regret it! Many thanks, Captain Mike, for a memorable adventure!
Thanks so much for the great review. Hopefully, we’ll fish together again soon. It was a pleasure guiding you all!
Enjoyed a fantastic outing with Captain Mike, who was professional from the outset and excellent with kids and novices alike. Carson, thank you—it was a blast! I hope we get another chance to fish together and catch even more.
Mike was an amazing captain. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, making the experience unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back and fish with him again!
Thank you for your kind words. Looking forward to future trips together.
On January 27th, 2024, my nephew and I went fishing with Captain Mike. He greeted us warmly, prepared some rigs quickly before we left the pier, and his boat was comfortable and well-equipped. Upon reaching our fishing spot, he explained everything clearly and guided us patiently. Though we booked a 5-hour trip, we caught our limits of Red Drum and Speckled Trout within just 3 hours. Mike knew exactly where to go and what to do. When we returned, a very friendly gentleman was ready to clean our fish to our liking. I give Captain Mike a full 5-star rating and will definitely book with him again. Thank you, Captain Mike, for an exceptional day.
David, it’s always a pleasure fishing with you. Thanks again and see you next time!
Despite challenging weather, Captain Mike kept us catching fish in various locations. My 12-year-old son was thrilled to land his first slot redfish, along with several other nice trout and redfish. We’re definitely eager to fish with Captain Mike again. Thanks for the enjoyable trip!
A wonderful experience with a top-notch guide. The day had perfect timing and pace. We caught our limits of trout, a red, and even a catfish. Mike was great with our teenage daughters, teaching them and making sure everyone got to fish. We all had a blast.
Mike was professional, fun, and engaging. From the start, he had us on ducks, making for a fantastic hunt with plenty of birds. I really enjoyed the experience and plan to return for another hunt with Mike.
Richard, thanks again. I’ll see you in January and look forward to it.
Mike’s knowledge of the bay is impressive, always doing his best to put us on the fish. Although I had a few concerns about his communication style and his preference for fishing hard, I appreciate the effort. Best wishes to you and your family. May your passion for fishing lead to many great adventures ahead. Tight lines!
We kicked off the trip with an adventurous change of pace, catching several fish early, and wrapped things up in the bay with a full limit of trout. It was a great outing. Mike was patient and even kindly gave me a ride back to my hotel. Enjoyed the company and conversation—it was truly an adventure. Looking forward to doing it again someday.
Had a fantastic time catching some quality fish. I highly recommend fishing with Captain Mike and would definitely book again. Jesus, it was great meeting and fishing with you all. Hope to get you back out on the water soon. Thanks!
We faced a windy day, making fishing a challenge, but Captain Mike’s persistence paid off as he worked hard to get us on the fish. Thank you—let’s plan another trip sometime soon!
