  5/5
  Captain Anthony was a great guide for our six hour trip. The fishing started off a little slow, but he moved us around and we found some redfish and then moved out into the flats and cut over 30 sea trout. We had a line in the water, hoping to catch something bigger and all of a sudden the line went crazy and my son managed after 10 minutes to bring in about a five or 6 foot bull shark up to the boat. It was really fun thanks Captain Anthony for a great time. Read full review

  Excellent tour. We had great weather. Caught a mangrove snapper, a sheepshead, a stingray, a puffer fish, and a ladyfish. My 13yr old had a great time. We saw a few shark, a mess of stingray, a horseshoe crab, and we had a few dolphins hanging around. Thanks guys, we had a great day.
