First time fishing in the area on April 22, 2019, and I seriously question if there are any fish worth pursuing. I have fished the Keys many times over the years and have had much more success. I am not sure if the problem was due to the impact of red tide last year, green/blue tide occurring in the region this year or the effect of a recent storm front that had blown through. The only thing we caught were a few small, speckled trout. Other than that, hardly a bite was had and we targeted many different species and techniques.
The boat was well equipped with a Power-Pole anchor system and GPS enabled trolling motor to help maintain position. This allowed the guide to quickly transition from us spot to spot, in search of the elusive bite to no avail.
They advertise a military/veteran discount but that was not extended to me. All in all, a disappointing experience and I doubt that I would take the chance again when in the area.

This was our first experience with a charter. Captain Tony was awesome! He is knowledgeable and will work hard to make sure you have a great experience. He is personable and was great with our boys! Definitely would recommend them!
THANKS MIKE WE HAD A GREAT TIME ALSO.. THANKS FOR YOUR KINDNESS CAPTAIN TONY :)
We had a great experience with Tony today! We came during red tide and even though it made it harder to catch, Tony didn’t give up on finding us some fish to take home. We had a great time on the boat, definitely would recommend!
THANKS HAYDEN YEA RED TIDE NOT OUR FRIEND. THANKS FOR THE KIND WORDS LOOK US UP NEXT TIME CAPTAIN TONY :)
Overall a great experience and Captain Tony was Awesome !! Very fair with our time and Tony did everything he could to make our experience very memorable. I would highly recommend this trip to everyone. We WILL see Captain Tony again next time we come down from New York. Thanks again Captain for the experience of a lifetime!!
THANKS KIETH GREAT TIMES CAPTAIN TONY :)
Our captain is very familiar with the hot spots around the Sarasota area. He is very friendly and attentive and when all of our bait died due to red tide tainted water he found more bait fish quickly and we were up and running. The big “keeper “fish were not biting but we did catch a number of snook one of which just missed the limit size. Still a very enjoyable experience.
Thanks Doug we had a fun time also. Looking forward to the next time and trying some new SPOTS be safe CAPTAIN Tony
