This was the best fishing trip, ever! Let me tell you why... If you are new or a novice fisher…read moreperson the crew makes things so simple for you! They are very skilled and go hands on to help you set up your rod & reel, give you tips and pointers, as well as take your catch off the hook for you so you don't get yourself cut up! They even clean and filet them for you!! If you're a skilled fisher they let you be to do your own thing. Not only are they super helpful but they are incredibly friendly, funny and entertaining! They gave us lots of ideas for things to do in the area also. Super great crew! If you slow down catching fish they will move to a different area to make the most of the fishing! We say a few dolphins swimming with us along the way also. I highly recommend this trip for single people, couples or the entire family. We met some great people (mostly locals) on the trip that we call family now! (Terry & Terrance) Drew & the rest of the crew were awesome. They cook breakfast & lunch! For a small fee ($4 to $5) you can buy breakfast sandwiches, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chips, snacks, soda, water and beer. We went in early May so we caught mostly grunts but several people caught hog fish as well. Your bait and tackle is included but they have frozen shrimp for an additional $5 if you want to fish for bigger fish.

He knows where to go, keeps your line in the water 99% of the time and is just plain full of interesting fish facts as he's been fishing the area all his life. He's the 5th generation, born and raised in the area plus has fished all over the world but loves Tarpon Springs best. His boat is small but efficient, clean and perfect for getting you in areas that other big boats cannot. My husband, grandson (19) and i fished with him today from Tarpon Springs. We did a four hour trip. We had a great experience thanks to Corey's knowledge of the area and his persistent attitude. You could tell he enjoyed seeing us catch fish. It was windy and cool but we persuaded him to take us out and with his help, we caught a whole bunch of fish! 3 Snook 5 Sea Trout 1 Red fish And a few turns! Anyway, the guy next to him seemed good too but Corey's boat is clean and he's sweet. Thank you Corey for an amazing day!

Went fishing with my family and capt. John Fischbach over the thanksgiving weekend. Stayed in shore…read morebecause my cousins wife is 9 months pregnant so we had to maintain cell reception. Non the less best fishing trip ever. We caught 16 fish total between the 4 of us. Four different types of fish, Red drum, Jack, Snook, and Trout. Kept 11 of em. Captain John was hands down the best. His attitude kept a great atmosphere, the laughs were reeled in as much as the fish were, if not more. Some of the locals texted him and asked him what bait we were using because we were catching so many. They were jealous. So needless to say at this point if you want a good trip hit up Capt. John Fischback.

Reserved a Gulf-side deep sea fishing charter about 9 months in advance for me and my 5 adult sons…read more The seas were too choppy all week for the to take out the 34' Marauder. The capt doesn't have any control over this. What he does control is communication to us as to his plans based on the weather the night before. He asked me to text instead of calling so as not to distract him operating the boat. I did as he asked numerous times, with no response. Thus we weren't able to make other plans on the days that he couldn't go out. I'm sure he is a great fishing guide, but he is a poor businessman and communicator.
