We had a near shore trip booked, but weather didn’t cooperate. Kevin offered us a refund since we couldn’t do our original trip. We opted to go out anyway and fish in-shore. My boys, ages 7 and 9 had a blast. We caught a few ladyfish which are fun to catch.  We caught way too many catfish. But to kids used to catching small panfish in Michigan, they were excited! Kevin did everything he could to make sure some fish were caught. He is knowledgeable and also patient with my kids. I’m not sure he knew he would have so many random questions to answer this morning. We saw tons of dolphins too. If we ever get back down to Treasure Island or know anyone else who does, we would definitely recommend Catch On!

Early October 2022 trip. I booked the extra hour to allow for travel time away from shore (we ended up about 9 miles out fishing in 35ft of water).

The captain was excellent in talking about the water and the area. Bait was barely off our hooks for more than 30 seconds. In 18 years of knowing my wife this the first time she ever caught a fish and second time fishing. He made her feel comfortable and respect any requests. (Like throwing the fish head in the water so it wasn’t staring at her!). We were still fighting red tide tail end in Madeira beach but the big fish were starting to come back. We came upon some some big schools of mackerel and redfish. Unfortunately user error on my part lost then big one of the fag. Guide thought maybe red fish or Bonita. Overall we caught about 30 fish and maybe 8 species.  Bites were constant and the baitfish were all over the finder. I imagine the bigger fish were about a week out as the water was still a touch warm. will book again when we are down next year.

Our first time out with Captain Kevin and Catch-On Charters. Three of us (wife, 18 yr old son and I). What a great time! Captain Kevin asked what we’d like to target and I told him we just wanted to catch a lot of fish as we were unable to keep anything due to leaving so soon afterward. We caught a lot of fish alright and a great variety. Captain Kevin was johnny on the spot keeping us in the water and on the fish. Highly recommend!

Was very friendly and made us feel welcome from the get go. Kevin worked his tail off to make sure we always had bait on and poles in the water. Would recommend Captain Kevin to anyone who wants to do near shore fishing. We had a blast!

The trip was amazing!  We saw dolphins,  a sting ray, a shark and a flying fish while on our ride to the reefs that we were fishing off of.  Captain Kevin was a great host and very friendly.  We had a great time and brought back plenty of fish.
