    We had a nice experience with Captain Todd.

    Great time! Caught lots of fish! Friendly captain and first mate. We're recommending you to our friends! Thanks.

    David Y. with Brad C. of New Smyrna Beach, Florida

    We went out with captain Leon and it was an experience we will never forget! He was fun, entertaining, very knowledgeable and put his best effort in to make the trip unforgettable! Definitely recommend heading out with Leon!!

    Marina M. with Leon S. of New Smyrna Beach, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    With a huge storm the day before and winds still keeping most boats off the water we did very well. 12 fish total with 2 being sharks. One fish we caught was bit in half! Great day on the beach! Learned so many new skills as well and Kathy is too notch at sharing her techniques and working diligently to keep all three of us busey with four rods. You won't find that from a boat. Honestly with four poles soaking, most double rigs totaling 7-8 baits in the water at all times seems much more productive than one rod per angler getting snagged on a reef or baits getting stripped. Being an avid angler myself I'm very impressed with my first time surf fishing under post cold front conditions when many fish get finiky and tuff to commit to feed. Thank you Kathy!!! I'll be back!

    Brian G. with Cathy S. of Flagler Beach, Florida

    Hadn't checked the fishing schedule and ended up booking on red snapper weekend. Was a super busy weekend for fishing but captain Brad got us set up and out on fish right away. Had great time out on the water and ended up limiting out. Would definitely recommend/go back.

    We went out with Captain Chris and had an amazing experience! Our party consisted of four people with a grandmother and three teenage grandchildren. With Chris’ knowledge and skills, each of us were able to catch at least one shark. He prepared the one we kept and we were able to have it cooked at a nearby restaurant for lunch!

    Pat S. with Chris E. of Port Orange, Florida
