Our party of 5 did a Tortugas trip the 1st week of April. Friday night and Saturda were pretty…read morerough seas with 2 of our party getting seasick. First stop was around 9pm after a 6 hour ride. Fishing was slow. Captain Bryson headed south for mutton snapper grounds. Around daybreak we had fishing chaos for a couple of hours. Big muttons, big porgy, some mangroves and vermilion. Bite stopped and captain moved multiple times looking for fish. We found plenty of American Reds which were out of season and forced some of the moves. Picked up a few keepers (mostly vermilion) at most of the spots but nothing significant until a late afternoon move to a ledge. More fishing chaos with huge porgy, red grouper, mutton snapper, big mangoes, with some yellowtail and vermilion mixed in. It was incredible well into the late evening. Fish stopped biting. Many ate a late dinner. The tide changed and fishing chaos resumed until early morning and we headed for Marco. We filled 3 coolers with big fish. Wish I could post pictures! It was my 5th trip on the Hunter. I live on Marco and can deal with the inconvenience of weather cancellations. The other 4 in my party had to deal with an inconvenient weather cancellation last fall wasting PTO and vacation. This is a bucket list opportunity for a lot of quality fish which are hard to come by inside of 80 miles from Marco Island. The captain and mates worked hard and were accommodating and energetic. Food was excellent. Never a reason to be hungry (unless you were seasick). I have noticed on my trips that hot afternoons produce little action. Sunrise, sunset and night fishing produced the most action and mitigated shark and barracuda pilfering which would be abundant on daytime wrecks. I used the boat rods which are designed to rest on the rail when you are fighting big fish. Snapped my favorite grouper rod on a prior trip. But you must bring your own terminal tackle (sinkers, swivels, hooks, etc,). Bring 4-10 ounce sinkers because of huge tide fluctuations. Plenty of different circle hooks depending on what the action requires eg. Yellowtail and vermilion vs big mutton, porgy, mangrove and grouper capable of straightening weaker hooks. I think the Tortugas trips are more predictable to produce fish than the Pulley Ridge trips. It's anchored over structure vs drifting. Fast current is hard to fish in 200 feet of water when anchored. It can be a nightmare in 800 feet of rough water while drifting and trying to maintain contact with the bottom. The Hunter is smaller than the Patriot with fewer amenities. The trade off is more space to fish with fewer fishermen resulting in fewer tangles. Tangles are truly frustrating when the bite is on and you are missing out on fishing chaos!

The gentleman who collects the cash on the other hand is a slick operator and not very kind or understanding in my opinion. I'll spare the details here as I this is my first post on Yelp ever.

My wife booked a deep-sea fishing adventure for me, but as the day approached, the weather took a turn for the worse--cold and windy conditions. However, the team communicated with us ahead of time, offering the option to reschedule or go ahead with the trip. We decided to go for it, and I'm so glad we did! Captain Kevin met us at Rose Marina, and we set off full of anticipation. Unfortunately, the Gulf was too rough, so we had to turn around. Instead of giving up, Captain Kevin took us to some backcountry fishing spots to wait for the winds to settle. After a couple of hours, he offered us the choice to either call it a day and go back without any charge, or try again to head out to the Gulf. We decided to give it one more go--and this time, it paid off! Captain Kevin got us on a huge variety of fish, including Snapper, Mackerel, Ladyfish, Grouper, and even a Lionfish! We caught fish non-stop until our cooler was packed full, and we had an absolute blast doing it. What could have been a canceled trip turned into the perfect day, all thanks to Captain Kevin's persistence and dedication. As a bonus, Captain Kevin cleaned 72 oz. of fresh Snapper fillets, and we were able to feed our entire party of nine at Cocomo's! Thank you, Captain Kevin, for going above and beyond to ensure we had such an amazing time. We'll definitely be back for more!

At least a dozen maybe more! If you want to see a genuine smile and excitement on someone's face put them on a shark in Guy's boat. Just an absolute blast. We have been doing charters in Marco a few times and they have always been more money and less fun than with Guy. We will NEVER go out with anyone else.
