Our Captain was awesome. He kept us on the fish as we picked up and moved if the action slowed. We will book another trip!

Stephen, I'm really sorry to hear about your experience. I'm afraid I can't contact you directly on this site, but please reach out to [email protected] to sort out your refund. If the trip was canceled by the captain you are entitled to a full refund of the deposit you paid and this should be processed automatically as soon as we confirm the details.

1st Fishing Trip in Branson MO
May 6, 2021

Despite weather not being favorable & fish not biting, Dave made sure we enjoyed our trip. We all caught at least one trout. He was very patient with my 2 younger grandsons that got bored quickly. Would use Dave again. Easy to get fishing licenses at the marina.

Mix up

Thought I had a five hour trip booked turned out it was only a four hour trip.
Feel maybe a discount when it's only one person.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and sorry to hear about the mixup with the trip length. Did this happen on your tarpon trip or the backwater trip? We'd like to make sure that everything's as clear as possible on the listing for future customers.

Feel free to get in touch with us at [email protected] if you need any help or have any questions at all.

Great day for grandsons.
May 3, 2021

Had a great trip! Captain Jason went over a d beyond to make it a great experience. My grandson is still talking about catching 21 fish. Captain Jason knows where to find the fish and was great with my 5 year old and 10 year old grandsons.

Great time out on the water
April 27, 2021

We went out on a windy day by my choice. The captain did a great job keeping us dry and stocked with bait. Saw a bunch of dolphins and caught a bunch of fish! Got the keepers fileted for a good eat another day!

Great captain and mate. We had a couple of kids who were very excited as it would be their first time fishing in the ocean. They both caught fish and are now "hooked" on ocean fishing. Highly recommended!

I was unpleasantly surprised to find out that we couldn't keep most of the fish we caught in Estero Bay. I think this must be clearly specified on your Website, and any customer MUST be made aware of it BEFORE booking a fishing trip.

Hi Michael,

Thanks very much for your feedback, this makes a lot of sense. I'll see what we can do to improve this in the future and make it more clear which fish can and can't be kept in the area.

My 10 year old loved it. The Captain was there about 10 minutes early and had us on fish in no time.
It was everything as advertised. Great experience!

Fishing with a Brian Lemelin
April 21, 2021

We had a wonderful time and Captain Brian took very good care of all of us and made sure that each one had a very good experience fishing.
Brian was stung by a Catfish and he still made sure the fun we had continued although he was in pain. We caught a ton of Snook and some Red and the catch and release was fun much fun for all.
