I recently booked both a night fishing trip and a half day of fly fishing with John Meskauskas in…read moreStuart, Florida and it turned out to be one of the better experiences that I have had with a guide over many years of fishing. John was patient with me as I struggled to battle my adrenaline rushes as we cast to snook along seawalls, under docks and on the rocks at the inlet. He put me onto my first Tarpon on the first night within the first hour. This guy has no big ego and is all business. I had expressed an interest in catching and releasing as many species as possible during my trip and he never forgot the plan. In an off tide day we still managed to land Snook, Tarpon, Jack Crevalle , Bonita, Mackerel and even a funky Catfish with a massive dorsal fin. We tried hard for the Sea Trout and Blue Runners but they will have to wait for next time. He let me use my own rod and reel without huffing and puffing. Again, no ego or lecture about losing fish due to my poor casting or whatever. Contrast this to the hot shot guides that make you feel like an amateur with all their blustering when you make a little mistake or two. After all, we are out to have fun. All fish were released with lots of care for the health of the fish when taking photos etc. I will be back with a friend to log more time on the water with this guy in the spring.

My daughter and I wanted to go fishing and I found Mark. I called and set up a trip during the week…read morewe were visiting Florida. I read the reviews and Marks responses. I've been to Florida on two other occasions and until we went with Mark I had not caught a keeper fish. I've fished all my like and there is a reason they call it fishing and not just catching. I mostly bass fish and it's very common to move from spot to spot to find fish. This was Mark's tactic. We went out several mines and I'll say we caught a very nice day and it wasn't rough. My daughter was the first to catch a keeper and from there she went on to have a stellar day. Mark provided an awesome day. Great service and a lot of conversation. Mark had different spots and he worked hard to get us on fish. It should be noted that he has a gps driven Minolta trolling Moyer that will keep his boat on a spot without an anchor. Saves a lot of time in moving between spots because he didn't use an anchor. The electronics were second to none and I felt very safe. If you want a personal or small family fishing experience I recommend Captain Mark. So ask the best question. Would you go fishing with Mark a second trip. Answer. We are planning on it. Thanks Mark for an awesome day of fishing and catching. Tom

On a recent trip to the Port St. Lucie area, my father chartered a boat as a late Christmas gift to…read morego fishing off the coast. All things considered, I enjoyed my time out on the water with my family, but thought that the overall service lacked a personal touch that would have elevated the experience. The Captain / Service: This is where I was the most disappointed. If you are taking money to have us on your boat, you need to be a 'Tour Guide of the Seas'. Although I am sure that some people look to get out on the water for peace and solitude, I am also looking for an experience in both a knowledge, and educational-sense. I am not from the area, so I want to know everything there is to know about the area and the adventure we're about to embark on. When he was asked a question, he answered in his monotone, unenthusiastic tone which seemed to say, "Leave me alone", more than, "Sure, let me be helpful and enhance this experience for you." Honestly, reflecting back a little more closely now, he was almost entirely useless. I could have Googled how to do the few things he showed us. We would have been equally fine ...if not better...without him. Another issue...when we were travelling from one spot to another - a good 15 minute ride - the wind and weather was whipping in a way that constantly sprayed me and was getting me very wet. Not a little damp, which I can handle...as I'm on a boat...legitimately wet. It was unseasonably cool in Port St.Lucie that weekend. So being wet in 59 degree weather with no sun shine is not a comfortable feeling. Do you think he offered me to stand under the canopy with him? Nope. Instead I relocated up front to try and get out of the spray, but he through a tantrum because 'too many of us were in the front' and it could damage the boat. I am not arguing that point, what I am upset about is your lack of customer service. Lastly, we are out on the water for 5-6 hours and you don't have complimentary bottles of water -- after all that we've paid? Ummm... Captain/Service: 2 / 5 Boat/Gear: The boat had seen better days. It was by no means ragged, but it had cracks in the interior, ripped fabric and trimmings, and an overall look that made it obvious that the boat's best days were quickly becoming a distant memory. In terms of the gear, all seemed OK; but on two separate occasions we had a massive hit on one of our 'trolling' poles -- the one where we attached live bait and attached a 'buoy' of sorts. On both occasions, the line snapped. Once? Ok. Twice? That gets me thinking. Furthermore, the second time it happened, I told the dude that I think the fish 'took everything'. He dismissed me like I had no idea what I was talking about. Then, an hour later, we reeled it in to find the line snapped... Boat/Gear: 2 / 5 Fish: Unfortunately, we did not catch too many fish. On a relatively cool day, this made the trip a little bit more disappointing. We caught some small channel catfish, a couple of 'Porgis', and a couple very small sea bass. The three of us combined for about 18-20 useless fish that were pointless to take home, even though we took 2. This is not necessarily the fault of the Captain, as fishing can be a spotty-sport in terms of success. Though, I feel as if between the missed 'big catches', and the excessive lack of success, that there is a correlation that can't be ignored. Fish: 2 / 5 Final Thoughts: I loved being out on the water with my dad and brother. Wish it was just us though, because the Captain was entirely useless. I would not recommend this company. Yes, some of my complaints may seem 'nit-picky'. But they all add up. All I could think the whole time was how 'I could do a much better job', with regard to service and overall experience. Just seemed to be an extreme lack of personal touch. Maybe my expectations were just to high...

I found myself waiting at a traffic light and to my right a bright green truck stops and it has a snook on its side...did I say bright green? It's can't miss advertising, nice. I chat up the guy, note some contact info and off we go. Some time passes and I see the truck in a shopping center, bright green. good color. I commenced to stalk the truck, like working the flats for passing snook, here he comes....boom, I set the hook. The adventure is on. I chatted with William Troutman for awhile, exchanged contact info, plans made. William is a passionate snook guy. I'm excited...the day comes for fishing. We met in Stuart. The gear he uses is top shelf Hobie kayaks, mirage drive equipped, nice stout rods too. We pushed off and began working the area. In short order I had a snook pound my lure...oh baby. What a fish...hang on you're going for a ride. Do your homework, he has YouTube videos, dialed in stuff. Tight lines is soooo much fun.

My Board was ordered on a Thursday and it was delivered to me through The Boardroom SUP all with in a week, I picked it up on a Friday and I was on the water the following weekend after placing my order amazing no one else I know can do that in that amount of time. They have staff from team riders who sat down with me to help me design the function of my board and what I was going to use it for. They helped me decided the future fin box set up in which i went with a quad plus one so I can take it from the flat water to the waves all in the same day depending upon the weather conditions. I was able to customize my board even more by adding the color of my rail the color of the top and bottom of the board, and i was able to have them inlay my favorite designers fabric into the board. My board is a one of a kind and I get awesome comments on it all the time. For a Custom SUP or Custom Stand Up Paddleboard get in contact with the Boardroom Sup who carrys KaiBoards the brand is amazing I can't say enough about them my board fits me perfectly and it was Made In The USA and not some mass produced board out of China like other companies like Naish, Jimmy Lewis, Yolo, SUP atx, and Jimmy Stix are doing this board was made for me about me and for me, and I love it. Thanks to the awesome staff at the Boardroom SUP from the input from Pro riders, to the staff, and to those who built my board Thank YOU Each and Everyone of You Guys and Girls.
