3 Hr AM Trip – Inshore (Kids trip) on December 13, 2024
Truly makes it his passion to make sure you get as many fish possible with weather conditions and time of year. We took three kids and grandma out in mid December and catch over 20 fish including many species. Sea trout, puffer fish, snapper, sea bass and sheep head. Recommend an amazing local restaurant to get our fish made to our liking and it was the best blackened and fried batter ever! Ethan was extremely personable, helpful and all over outstanding!

Half Day-Nearshore on July 26, 2024
Ethan was great!! He came well prepared and was able to accommodate 5 people in our group with a pretty wide range of experience. He would help you put on the bait and unhook caught fish if needed. He came with squid, live shrimp, live bait fish, and shark bait. We went to about 4 different spots and we caught around 40 fish in a span of 4 hours. We got 3 small sharks as well as groupers, trout, sea bass, flounder, pufferfish, toadfish, redfish, lane snappers, mangrove snappers, and more. We also briefly saw some turtles and dolphins. We kept a couple of fish to eat and Ethan helped clean and filter them for us. We also took a quick dip near a sandbar to cool down when it got too hot. The boat ride was pretty calm and no one got sea sick, although a few people took Dramamine just in case. Overall, this was an excellent trip and we loved every minute!!!! 10/10 would recommend.

Extended AM Trip – Inshore on July 17, 2024
My 10 year old son wanted to catch a shark so badly on our trip, I messaged Ethan about it and he did everything in his power to put us on sharks. We hooked 3 different kinds of sharks (lemon, reef and black tip) but only landed 2 of them (lemon and black tip). While waiting for the sharks to bite we caught like 10 different types of fish from grouper to snapper to puffer fish to sea trout and everything in between. He was great with my son and very nice to all of us. I’d consider myself an experienced freshwater angler and I was highly impressed with him. I’d recommend him 10 out of 10 times. I cannot recommend him enough!

Half Day PM Trip - Inshore on June 7, 2024
My son and I made some great memories together with Cap’n Ethan. His service and expertise approach with fishing and guiding was absolutely what I was looking for. He welcomed us to his boat like we were family members. He made us feel comfortable and provided excellent service throughout the whole trip. His boat was clean and had a nice sun shield (overhead hard top) that made for comfort on an otherwise very hot afternoon. The best part, he knows how to fish AND guide, very well. He had us on redfish from the start fishing mango trees and boom — double 30” redfish hookups my son and I will always remember their incredible fight. We caught over 25 total fish that afternoon mixed with redfish, ladyfish, sea trout and 1 Jack, all just as he had targeted as our excellent guide. THANK YOU Ethan!!! We will definitely look you up next time we are in Tampa area!

Half Day-Nearshore on December 30, 2024
Really great trip!! Captain Eathan put us on ‘em. Would recommend it for anyone that enjoys catching. Caught more than we could eat and marked off 6 more species from our families catch list. I’ve chased trophies across multiple countries and on the east coast from the outer banks to key west…this is one of our most memorable excursions just based on the variety and activity of the bite.
