    Great Trip!

    3 Hour Fishing on June 27, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Angelo was great, good with the kids. I had messaged him beforehand, as we had been fishing in the Naples and Tampa area the last couple of years, and my son finally wanted to catch a bigger fish. We caught some smaller fish in the beginning, then we hit some snook and red fish, and my son caught a two-foot, 12-pound red fish that made the whole trip worth it. Captain Angelo was very accommodating. I would highly recommend.

    Captain Angelo was on the spot!

    2 Hour Fishing - 10:00 AM on March 4, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Angelo is a reel expert! His knowledge of the fishing spots is top notch. Seemed like every time we threw the line out into the water, we were hooked up. At one point we couldn’t keep up, all lines had fish on! And he was very gracious with his time. We were visiting from the Midwest for my sons college baseball tournament and decided to go fishing on his off day. It couldn’t have gone better. Swapped fishing and baseball stories with the Captain, along with learning alot from him about fishing the waters here. Thanks again, we will be sure to be back!

    Reelly great time

    3 Hour Fishing on July 1, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Had a fantastic 3hr outing with my son. Captain Angelo and his mate Justin were fantastic. With just 3 hours to beat the heat, they kept us moving until we found the fish. We pulled in a lot of big trout which thrilled my son and then redfish on the way back. Angelo was fantastic with son, helping him with his technique. We will certainly rebook when back in the area. Thank you.

    3 Hour Fishing - 1:00 PM on June 15, 2026 • 3 adults

    My husband took the boys on a charter & Angelo was the captain! He was friendly, helpful and a great navigator helping with our youngest helping him reel in fish! They took photos with all the fish, and we even brought one back to eat! Highly recommend! Thank you for our awesome 3 hour charter!

    Absolute Core Memory!

    2 Hour Fishing - 10:00 AM on July 31, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

    This was our first ever trip to Florida and one of the "bucket list" items m girls wanted to do was go fishing. We found this charter and could not have been happier. Catching fish was secondary to the experience and how we were treated! Thank you!!!

    4 Hour Fishing on June 11, 2026 • 3 adults

    Had great time with Cpt Angelo and deckhand Justin. Morning 4 hour trip. Quick boat ride to the first spot and catch 2 in no time. If the bite was slow Angelo quickly got us onto a better location. Thanks Cpt Angelo

    Fishing with Angelo

    6 Hour Fishing - 10:00 AM on April 17, 2026 • 1 adult

    Second time out with Captain Angelo. Another awesome experience. He is patient and knowledgeable. After a recent hip replacement surgery he was very conscious of my abilities. He also never wearied of my questions on why and hows of fishing I look forward to the next time to fishing with him Thank you Captain Angelo!

    Great Experience

    4 Hour Fishing on March 28, 2026 • 2 adults

    The Captain put on a lot of sea trout and several redfish, and some by-catches. He was very prepared, and really worked hard to get us on fish. Had multiple options on a busy day. Also very knowledgeable about nature and the area and would share with us. Loved the whole experience. Highly recommend Captain Angelo.

    Great time on the water!

    2 Hour Fishing - 10:00 AM on March 13, 2026 • 3 adults

    I highly recommend this trip. Captain Angelo is great - professional, easy going, and nice! He will do as much or as little as you like to get your line in the water. Very nice, no stress trip along the intercoastal. Our whole party caught several fish each and five different types. Very fun morning.

awesome captain, awesome trip
3 Hour Fishing on March 11, 2026 • 3 adults

Capt Angelo was great. My brother and I took my Dad out for a 3hr trip. My dad has some mobility and balance issues, and Capt Angelo helped make him comfortable. We were getting fish as soon as we hit the water. We caught plenty of Trout and a bunch of beautiful Redfish. Filled our cooler, and our bellies that night! Great boat, top of the line set up. My brother and are locals, that have since left the state for work. “live like a local” is a perfect name for his company, as we fished several of our old stomping grounds. Only regret is that we didn’t book a longer trip. Fully plan on working with Capt Angelo the next time we come home.

Inshore slam complete!!
3 Hour Fishing on August 29, 2026 • 2 adults

Angelo is great! We caught 8 species including the infamous “Inshore Slam.” Put us on the fish all day long! We never sat on a dead bite, he wasn’t having it. We would move and be back on fish again! Take the trip, you won’t be disappointed. I can see why he’s rated 5 Stars.

Reported catch:
Speckled Trout
Snook
Redfish
Mangrove Snapper
