We had an absolutely wonderful time fishing with Nick for Peacock Bass; the trip could not have been better. The boat, rods & reels and bait were on top of the line. Nick was patient, informative and moved as needed to keep us on fish. We caught and released over 50 fish in 7 hours. A few large Peacocks made it a memorable experience. We would highly recommend Nick and we hope to get another trip in before return to the Rockies. Patrick & Brian

We went with my brother-in-law and his wife. It was a great time and we saw numerous manatees. Once there was a group of five. Captain Storm was excellent with information, wit, and just a great guy! Wouldn't hesitate to go again. One of the manatees got so close I think we could have touched it!

We recently visited Naples and went on a fishing trip with Mangrove Charters. It was EXCELLENT !!! My husband and I took our two teenagers fishing - and we all enjoyed it. Captain Paul was such a good host - his boat was beautiful and clean - and he provided water, soft drinks, and snacks. Captain Paul also taught us what to do (we are pretty new to fishing) and helped us bait the lines time after time (I don't like touching the live shrimp). It was truly a great experience - so much fun and we look forward to the opportunity to do it again. Thank you Captain Paul!
