My son and I had lots of fun with Capt. Tripp! Started off in the morning looking for trout and some bait fish. Tide was going out so we couldn’t spend too much time in open water (not Tripp’s fault, just bad luck on the tide charts while we were in the area) so we moved back into the canals and found some more trout and redfish before it got too hot.
Managed some flounder and black drum as well but had to throw those back (out of season and too small, respectively). Capt. Tripp was really knowledgeable and knows lots of great spots in the area, had lots of great tips and recommendations, and really knows how to get around the canals quickly. Lots of fun to talk to as well. We will definitely be using Capt. Tripp on future trips.

Capt was awesome.
We had two boys with us 11 and 12. Capt was super patient and laidback. Baited hooks and casts for the boys. Untangled all their messes lol. Put us on good spots (caught something at every stop) while teaching the boys (and us) a lot about what’s in these waters.

We caught a lot we had to throw back. The pics don’t show just how many bites we actually had.

What was also fun the kids was watching Capt catch a ton of bait fish like it was nothing.

Fishing with live shrimp Capt has just caught was a huge bonus.

Super nice guy that knows his craft well.

Captain Tripp is a great, easy-going guide with extensive knowledge of the local waterways.  We had our first fish within 15 minutes and enjoyed the rest of the day checking out different spots and catching a variety of species.  Tripp worked well with our group that contained guys with a wide range of experience from rookie to experienced freshwater fisherman and made sure it stayed fun for everyone.  I cannot recommend Captain Tripp highly enough - we wouldn’t hesitate to go again any day!

Tripp worked with us to reschedule and make adjustments due to a storm riddled week. He was upfront and open with us on the tough fishing conditions he had experienced in the days prior to our trip. It is obvious that Tripp is passionate about what he does, and respects the local fishery. Despite tough/slow fishing conditions, Tripp managed to put us on our target, Red drum. Tripp was very personable and made for good conversation throughout our trip.
