We caught so many fish, we threw back at least 10 keepers because we were at the limit in no time at all. I would recommend playin hookey to anyone who loves to fish and loves to come home with a cooler full of the gulf's finest snapper and grouper. From keeping the lines full of bait, untangling backlashes, to cleaning and packing the fish ( he even helped us keep track of the aggregate for our little side bet) Captain Pete did it all, so we could just hang out, have fun and catch a boatload of fish!

That's the difference with fishing with Captain Jayce. He took us out the next day to Red Snapper fish and caught our limit in 30 minutes, then headed inshore and caught our limit of Trout.

Captain Korye is amazing! I booked 3 days back to back. We…read morehad a daunting task. Catch a goliath grouper in the slot as I had drawn a tag thru the florida fish and wildlife. He lost his sonar the evening before. So we had to find a fish with his knowledge alone. I didnt sleep well that night. I saw us at noon on my last day here with no fish and no way to find one. Well captain knows his stuff. We left the dock at 720 or so the first morning. He drives his boat out about an hour or so hands me a pole with a jig and said cast it out and let sink and we will see if we can catch a permit while I get set up for goliath. I cast out the 3rd cast and he says WE HAVE ONE COME HERE!!!! I reel in a 35 inch goliath grouper. 5 minutes into a 3 day trip and months of anxiety and anguish gone. Tagged out. Thanks for coming! We continued fishing for the next 2.99 days to catch red grouper and snapper without anything but a GPS map. No idea what's under the boat! No clue if we are on it or just close. But we caught fish. No depth finder, no fish finder, no idea of what kind on fish were under us. We definitely had to work for our fish. We even drifted on the calmest day and caught a good sized red grouper. I know he could have done better with all the gear he is used to having at his disposal, but he still managed to catch plenty of fish every day. We threw back at least as many fish back as we kept. Sometimes we got over blue runners and couldnt get any bait past them down to the snapper and grouper. Sometimes we would catch nothing but undersized fish. So on to the next spot. He drove that boat 2 hrs out 2.5 hrs out moved 6 or 7 moves anything he could to get a fish in the boat. Even without sonar! I was in awe. I fish a lot. I know my fishing holes back home in southern Indiana like the back of my hand. I don't need sonar on them. I can't catch squat without it on anything I fish only a couple times a year. And we are talking lakes. Small lakes. Captain covered miles and miles of ocean even after tagging the fish i came for in 5 minutes. He know fishing and fish. It was a tough bite. I went with him to get bait a couple mornings and we talked with other captains. Everybody was working hard for their fish. They were spread out and hard to find for a captain with sonar. I dont know how he did it. If you want to have a good time and catch fish, go with captain Korye. You will always be part of one of my trophy stories for the rest of my life! Thank you Brad

My father-in-law booked with him last week and he got an excuse on why he had to reschedule also. Our trip comes up this week and he tries to change the trip from 8:00 AM to 9:30 AM. No problem we said. Low and behold, the morning of the trip we get the call. "I have an emergency, can we reschedule?" Needless to say I just canceled. I'm not sure what he has going on as this happened to me this week, my father-in-law last week and 90% of the other reviewers on Yelp here. Suggestion to the owner, If you plan on keeping business then get your act together! If not then don't waste people's time!! Fortunately he did return my $120 deposit (still need to confirm that it went back on my credit card) all I have is an email, no money yet. Unfortunately the Groupon I purchased for $250 that was supposed to go towards this trip is not getting returned due to Groupon policies!! Not ever buying from there again! Thanks captain/owner!!
