what our customers say

Awesome fishing. We had fish on in 3 seconds and caught over 60 snook and snapper in the first 3 hours. 7 nice snappers for hook and cook and they were amazing. Highly recommend and Phil was awesome.

I was able to land the first red and snook of my life. To say it was a great day of fishing is a huge understatement. Cpt. Phil is not just a 5 star Captain, but a 5-star man as well. I will highly recommend him to anyone.

As a fishing guide myself from Alaska, I would not hesitate to recommend Phil to anyone and I will definitely utilize his service again if we vacation there in the future.
