Read this review, it’s long but tells you a lot. Did a half day trip with some family and Nick put us on the fish right away! From the first spot we went to our lines were never in the water longer than 2-3 minutes before pulling up one of the many fish found in Florida. He was super knowledgeable about each species and attentive to each fisherman on the boat. Nick is super laid back and personable. It was like Nick was just one of the boys out there fishing with us but don’t take that as he won’t work hard for you because my man moves quick to get you set up every time. We caught a bunch of grunts, hogs, mackerel, king fish, and more!  He cut up the fish nicely for us as well! I had such a great time with Nick, I ask him if he would take me out the next day to the mangroves for some snook and red fish but I only had about 2 hours mid day to work with. Not a problem for Nick, he was super accommodating and communicative with me to work out a place and time. Again, in minutes of getting into the mangroves we were landing snook and red fish left and right. On the way in we hit a spot to catch a few trout as well. In 2 hours I believe we caught 15 fish and that is not an exaggeration. I couldn’t have asked for a better first time experience fishing in Longboat Key and I will without a doubt be back next year and calling Nick!
Be sure to tell him exactly what you’re looking for on your trip! The more specific you are the more accurate he can be, trust me. (Species and size) I never met Nick before in my life before this trip so this is not a review by a family member or friend.

We had the best experience today fishing with Captain Nick! My son caught his first fish ever the first time he dropped a hook in the water. Captain Nick was a great host and took us to several spots. We caught a number of different species, grouper, mackerel, trout, blue, snook and even a small sandbar shark! His boat was terrific as well! It was very clean and in pristine condition. He explained to us that he rebuilt it himself over the past year. He did a great job! If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Highly recommend!

We booked a last minute trip with Nick over Labor Day weekend after he was recommended by one of the other local captains. We had an absolute blast and caught just about every species of fish in the area! The boat and gear were perfect and Nick was very knowledgeable and safe. All of this combined made for a fantastic and relaxing day on the water. If you’re in SW Florida and looking for a great fishing trip, do not hesitate to book with Nick!

Captain Nick is not only very knowledgeable about the area and wildlife where he’s fishing but he’s extremely kind and makes it a priority to satisfy any passengers needs. Went out today and caught a wide variety of different species of fish, it was a blast! If you’re looking to get out either inshore or offshore, Nick is your guy! You won’t be disappointed. Will definitely be booking with him in the future.
