    4 Hour Trip – Inshore Bay on June 9, 2026 • 2 adults

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an incredible day on the water with Michael! He made the trip a complete experience by showing us the entire process from catching our own bait and rigging the lines to putting us on some absolute hawgs. What really stood out was how much he cared about making sure everyone had a great time. When one member of our group hadn’t hooked up with a fish while the rest of us had, Michael didn’t just call it a day when our trip was supposed to end. He stayed out with us for nearly two extra hours to make sure everyone had a chance to land one. If you’re looking for an inshore guide who works hard, teaches you along the way, and genuinely wants his clients to succeed, Michael is your guy. We’ll absolutely be booking with him again!

    We all caught our personal best redfish!

    5 Hour Trip – Nearshore Coastal - 7:00 AM on August 6, 2026 • 3 adults

    Capt Michael took my dad, son, and I out for an outstanding day of fishing! He asked what we wanted to fish for and he delivered on every request. We caught our limit within the first hour and then went for the bull redfish. All three of us each hooked our personal bests while talking to Michael about the area and types of fishing available. He was extremely knowledgeable on every aspect of the trip. We will definitely be booking a trip with Captain Michael in the future. Thanks for a great trip!

    We always enjoy fishing with Michael! This is our 4th time booking with him and it was a blast! He maxed out our limit with red fish and also caught other fish during the trip. And we got to see a dolphin!

Limited out on Reds, even though it was a slow day
4 Hour Trip – Inshore Bay on July 24, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

I would highly recommend Captain Michael for a Redfish trip. He hunted the Red's the entire trip and even though it was a slow day all throughout the Bay we ended up catching our limit, Including my 8 year olds first Red fish! Would definitely go on another trip with him Lance M.
