Captain Kyle will give YOU the experience you want.. for the first timers he will bait and cast for you and all you have to do is reel those babies in to the boat and smile with them squiggling in front of you… to the pros who are looking for some sport/trophy photos… this is the charter captain for you! His equipment & boat are top notch.. really comfortable and zippy. Snook, red fish.. and even a 60 pound ray … In fact my husband had to go out and buy the rig that he supplied to us on the boat we liked it so much. The captain has lived his life on the bays and coves of St. Pete.. he will sniff the fish out for you. It’s always an exciting day on the water with Kyle. Two years in a row we have booked with him and we can’t wait to do it again… Hey tell him Mo says Hi… maybe he’ll give us a deal next year;)”

Fishing with Capt Kyle was awesome today, wish we would have had more time. Caught a bunch of Spanish Mackerel, and some nice big Reds. Had a nice snook snap the line as well, but that’s why it’s called fishing and not catching. I would highly recommend fishing with Capt Kyle on your next trip. He will definitely put you on some fish. Can’t wait till we come back again for our next trip.
