Great Trip with Max Gaspeny Max took our 3 sons (24, 14, and 12) out today while my wife and I went with another guide. It was the younger two’s first time with a guide and first time on salt water. Max asked them what they wanted to do and the boys answered you do this for a living so you make the call. The first spot they went they caught 50 plus fish of 11 different species and the boys had a blast. Then Max asked if they wanted to try for some Tarpon he spotted the night before. They said sure. They hooked 8, boated three a couple smaller and one Max thought was around 50 pounds. Needless to say they came back to the dock on cloud 9. Today wasn’t a great fishing day either as my wife and I landed one Jack-our only other bite was a hammerhead. On top of that Max was just so good with the boys. They all came back telling me about the stories they heard and what a great time they had. He was super patient with the little guys and shared some very kind words about them when the got back in. I really can’t speak highly enough about the experience he gave my kids today. Thank you Max.

Nate is awesome Captain …. Super Experience We had an amazing fishing trip this morning with Nate Blackburn ..post hurricane / rainy conditions could have made for a miserable fishing trip . Nate went above and beyond to make it the best experience ever !! Made sure we went to plenty of different spots to achieve our “ dinner “ goal which we did ! Our limit of snapper ! And I also caught Tarpon and Goliath Grouper
( both catch and release , protected species ) .. Great conversations . Great Boat Ride . thank you so much Nate , we had an awesome experience .. Highly Recommend!
