We have been numerous times deep sea fishing but this was the best!! Cpt Mike's boat was first class....Air conditioned, TV, Microwave and the cleanest bathrooms ever! A huge plus was the 4 fishing chairs....few boats have anchored chairs so this was a plus-who wants to try to stand the whole time slipping on water and waves when you can sit comfortably? Cpt Mike knew all the spots to fish too....if we got to a spot and fish were not biting-he didn't waste any time moving on to another spot-have had many trips where the boat captain would stay at a place for a long time when the fish weren't biting-maybe the other cpt's were trying to save gas? The 5 of us caught way over 100 fish(lost count) on a 6 hour trip!!! The mate Darren never stopped-we had fresh bait and we never had to wait for him to bait our hooks-he was on top of it before we reeled in our lines! Darren also got your fish off the hook in seconds so you never had to wait to get your next baited hooks in!! Cpt Mike is pretty handy if you get a hook caught in your skin too!! Cpt Mike also gave us his home phone number in case we had any questions during our trip about restaurants, attractions or anything! How is that for hospitality!!! The local marina will clean the fish for 50 cents a pound and pack for shipping.
On July 23, 2013, we had a group of nine on the trip and had a wonderful time on Captain Mike's boat! His boat is very clean and comfortable. Alan, his first mate, was a fishing ninja! He was incredible to watch in action! We caught a lot of fish but had to throw some back since they were not in season. Both Mike and Alan were very polite, friendly and very experienced. We will definitely use them again. Thanks Mike and Alan for making our first deep sea fishing experience awesome and unforgettable!
I can't imagine how another company could do this better. Our family of 6, ranging in age from 9-62, went out on the Lady S for a 6-hour fishing trip. Weather was a little dicey, but Captain Chris assured us all was well. Despite some mildly rough seas that caused some seasickness among our group, he was right. He even adjusted our course to mitigate the waves some, and kept us out of the rain as much as possible. Moreover, Mates Brian and Stephen kept us in fish. Despite the less-than-ideal conditions, we brought home over 50 pounds of fish. We released quite a bit that couldn't be kept for various reasons - including a 150+-pound bull shark! Upon return to dock, Brian helped us get everything photographed and cleaned. We had an awesome time, and highly recommend this operation.
Captain Mike was off for our charter so we had a fill in captain. We only ended up with trout size bottom fish that we could catch off a dock. his excuse was the amberjack have migrated. When we got back to the dock, all of t he other 8 hour charters had caught their limit in jacks, to include catching tuna. I don't recommend captain Mike and his crew if this is what he resorts to when he's off.
We (group of 10 co-workers and spouses) did a bottom sea fishing tour with Captain Mike's Crew -- Captain Chris and First Mate Bryan. They were great!! We got a lot of fish (unfortunately due to season we had to throw a lot back but still fun to catch). Bryan was working non-stop for us while on the deck and Captain Chris got us in and out safely, while finding some great fishing holes. I would HIGHLY recommend using Captain Mike's Charters for your fishing tour. Nice, clean, large boat that easily accomodated all of us. Thanks for a great time!!
Capt. Mike and Alan his first mate were excellent. Unfortunately for most of us it was our first experience deep sea fishing. Several of us got sick. If your a first timer, I wouldn't recommend anything longer than 4 hrs. You will still catch plenty of fish. Capt Mike was very knowledgeable and had a clean boat.
