    Great Time

    6 Hour Trip AM– Inshore/Nearshore on June 19, 2026 • 3 adults

    My father, brother and I come to fish Florida every year. We try to target different species and techniques. One of our goals this year was to get a snook and redfish in the boat. Took us down to the wire to get them both but 2 of us caught a redfish and we got our snook. Captain Nick knows his stuff and appreciated how we was not locked in trying one thing. we moved around and found the fish when the bites started to slow. even caught a healthy dinner of some mangrove snapper. Will be back again

    Super Snook!

    4 Hour Trip AM – Inshore/Nearshore on July 23, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had a blast with Captain Nick! Solid guide, knew right where to take us for immediate action. Was very helpful with my 2 younger boys but still coached them up and let them do a lot themselves. This was our first time taking a charter in Indian Shoes and we’ll make sure we go with Nick next time we’re down. We caught plenty of reds and landed a massive Snook that my older son will never forget.

    Endless questions!

    4 Hour Trip AM – Inshore/Nearshore on June 15, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

    My husband and boys enjoyed their trip with Captain Nick. My boys are 10 and 11 and very much into fishing. Captain Nick was kind to answer their many many questions throughout the trip. They did not have the luck that they had hoped with catches but the baby shark was a dream come true for my one son and we got two lunches out of my other son’s catch! it was also a beautiful day out on the water. We would book again for sure.

    Slow day but the Captain never gave up.

    4 Hour Trip AM – Inshore/Nearshore on May 21, 2026 • 4 adults

    It was a slow day, the captain had us on the fish but they just wasnt hitting. It happens sometimes the difference is when you got a good captain that doesn't just throw the towel in and keeps hitting different areas to get fish on. We book charters multiple times a year and solw days are just part of it. The captain did everything right and I would recommend him 100%.

    Awesome time!

    4 Hour Trip AM – Inshore/Nearshore on August 1, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Nick was a great fisherman and guide. We went on the inshore trip and caught a ton of redfish at each stop. We also found a snook and nice trout. He’s a professional and a great guy all around. We really had a great time fishing on his boat and will go back out to try his nearshore charter.

    Great Time!

    4 hour PM- inshore/ nearshore on July 31, 2026 • 4 adults

    While the right fish weren't biting today, we really enjoyed ourselves. We caught a few catfish, a blue crab, and a bonnethead shark. Then we ended the trip by catching a large trout. We really enjoyed our time and spreading our time around to several spots. Thanks again Nick!

    Captain Nick is the man!

    4 Hour Trip AM – Inshore/Nearshore on August 6, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    my family of four (2 adults & 2 kids) had a great fishing trip! Captain Nick was friendly and very patient. He knew right where the fish were. We limited out on Red Fish and caught plenty more and released. Would highly recommend and book again!
