About Your Guide

Captain Mike is an experienced fishing and hunting guide dedicated to providing outdoor enthusiasts with memorable adventures along the Gulf Coast’s rich and varied natural habitats. With deep familiarity of local fishing spots and hunting areas, he excels in creating exceptional fishing and hunting journeys. Whether you’re hoping to reel in redfish and speckled trout in the bay waters or chase waterfowl through the marshes, Captain Mike’s expert knowledge guarantees exciting and productive excursions.

Our trip with Mike was absolutely fantastic! My boyfriend, who is much more experienced, had an amazing birthday, and Mike was kind enough to assist me with live bait so I could land a few fish myself! Truly a wonderful outing. Mike quickly got us on the fish. We caught our limits of trout and redfish in no time. He’s a fantastic guide, and we had a blast. Looking forward to next time! 👍

We had such an incredible experience with Captain Mike on our first-ever boat fishing trip, organized for my son's 17th birthday. Mike was very accommodating, easy to communicate with, and extremely knowledgeable about fishing. He patiently taught all four of us how to cast properly and ensured we had a fantastic time. He even stayed out longer to make certain we caught our limits. For someone new to fishing like me, this was exactly the kind of experience you hope for. Book a trip with Captain Mike—you won’t regret it! Thanks again, Captain Mike, for a truly memorable day!

Thank you for the review. I look forward to fishing together again sometime—it was my pleasure.

We had an excellent outing with Captain Mike, who showed professionalism from start to finish and was great with kids and beginners. Carson, thanks for the fun fishing trip. I hope we cross paths again for more fishing adventures.

Mike was an amazing captain; we had so much fun. He was very knowledgeable and helpful, making it a trip worth repeating for sure. 😂😂😂🎣🎣🎣 Thanks for the kind words and I hope we get to fish again soon.

My nephew and I fished with Captain Mike on January 27th, 2024. Right from the start, Captain Mike was approachable and personable. He quickly set up rigs before leaving the pier, and his boat was very comfortable and well-equipped. Once at our fishing spot, Mike thoroughly explained how to fish and was very patient with us. We planned a 5-hour trip but ended up catching our limits of Red Drum and Speckled Trout in just 3 hours. He knew exactly where to go and what techniques to use. Back at the dock, a friendly gentleman was ready to clean our fish just how we wanted. Without hesitation, I give Captain Mike a full 5-star recommendation and plan to fish with him again soon. Thank you, Captain Mike, for an unforgettable experience.

David, it’s always a pleasure to fish with you. Thanks, and see you next time.

Despite challenging weather, Captain Mike consistently guided us to fish. My 12-year-old son caught his first slot red along with several quality trout and redfish. We can’t wait to fish with Captain Mike again! Thanks for such an enjoyable trip. Looking forward to next time.

Captain Mike is an excellent guide. We enjoyed a well-paced trip and caught our limits of trout, plus a redfish and an unusual catfish. He was great with our teenage daughters, teaching them patiently and keeping us on the fish. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend his services.

Mike was professional and fun during our hunt, immediately putting us on ducks. We had a great hunt with lots of ducks to bag. I was so engaged in the hunt that I forgot to take photos. I’m already looking forward to booking another duck hunt with Mike.

Richard, thank you—and see you again in January. I’m looking forward to it.

Mike demonstrated exceptional knowledge of the bay and consistently did his best to put us on fish. I did feel, at times, that his demeanor was a bit condescending when answering questions, and that he enjoys fishing a bit much himself. Nonetheless, thank you for choosing us for your trip. Wishing you and your family the best, and may your passion for fishing lead you to many exciting new adventures. Tight lines!

We had a great trip that mixed adventure with success—starting the day trying something new, catching several fish, then finishing it by limiting out on trout in the bay. Mike was very patient and even gave me a ride back to my hotel. It was a great adventure, and I enjoyed the company and conversation. Hoping to fish with Mike again soon. Thanks!

Caught some good fish and had a good time. I would definitely recommend Captain Mike and plan to fish with him again. Thanks, Captain Mike! 👍👍

Jesus, it was great to meet and fish with you. I hope we get a chance to take you out again. Thank you!

We had a great day with Captain Mike. Although the wind made fishing challenging, Mike worked hard to ensure we found fish and had a good time. Thank you, and let’s go fishing again soon!
