  • "My boyfriend and I had the best fishing experience ever imaginable! We booked the three quarter Day fishing trip and Captain Shane did everything he could do to make our trip memorable! Shane took us to several fishng spots and each spot that we went to, we caught so many fish. Some fish we threw back, in fact a lot of them we threw back either due to size or desirability. But we each caught our daily limits of trout, and then we caught Ladyfish which we threw back, but they were so much fun to catch. After 15 Ladyfish that I personally caught, I quit counting them and just still was having so much fun. Although, it was past the time when we were supposed to be back at the dock, Shane continued to work at having us catch more and more fish in a final stopping point. That's where we got our daily limit of mango snapper! 10 in all! Shane was so kind to separate our large catch and carefully filet and bag them for us! We were so greatly appreciative of this! The fishing trip was certainly a hit but if it wasn't for Shane, it wouldn't have been nearly as much fun. We laughed and we talked and we had a lot of fun and he made that all so possible! If you're looking for a fabulous day with a fantastic captain who really knows his stuff about fish and the waters of Florida, please please don't hesitate to book your trip with Shane! You definitely will not be disappointed and it will be the fishing trip to be remembered for years and years! Thank you, Shane!!! We will definitely see you next time weare in the area!

He was patient , knowledgeable, and made sure we had a great experience on the water. Beyond being a great guide, Shane was simply a good guy to spend the day fishing with. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and hard working fishing guide."
