We had a great time with Captain Tom! He was very knowledgeable, helpful, patient and phenomenal! My 16 year old caught our first one and my 6½ year old caught his first ever fish! Lori from the office was amazing too! Our trip was originally scheduled for afternoon and with the water conditions she called to see if we could move to morning. Of course we did and we had a blast! Would 100% recommend this Poseidon Fishing Charters to everyone and will most definitely be a return customer!

Our captain was great. His 1st mate was extremely helpful as well. She’s a very small statured Asian female and was bouncing all over the place baiting hooks, detangling lines, helping the kids cast and reel in when they caught something, etc. We got into Red Snappers and trout. Maybe 1/4 were keepers. We also caught a young shark(maybe 3 feet long). I think it was a Mako but I’m not sure. The Cpt had 1 large pole out and that it is what it was caught on. He let my 11 y/o son actually reel it in, which made his day. We didn’t end up with $600 worth of fish by any stretch but we were at least catching them; a lot of them. Most were just too small to keep.  The time spent out doing something fun with the kids made it worthwhile though and hopefully it will be a fond memory for them when they’re older. I definitely feel comfortable recommending Poseidon for your next fishing charter.

First things first fishing booker does not describe the trip or boat accurately.  A full day trip does include lunch or snacks nor does the boat include bathrooms.  I was told the company has tried to correct the description on fishing booker but it is still not accurately described.  That needs to be fixed or at least Poseidon fishing need to send an accurate discerption to the customer family can plan accordingly. 

Fishing is good for shallow water 9 miles out in your in 40 feet of water.  Caught grouper that we below keeping limits, was able to keep some grunts and some snapper species and my personal favorites on the 2nd half of our trip we came into the bay because of some increasing roughness in the full we freeline for some trout and caught some beauties. 

We got a late start but the captain gave us extra time on the backend and I know the captain and firsthand were dead tired but cleaned our fish and cleaned it with care. 

So what made the trip was the staff.  They were professional, knowledgeable but not arrogant and so helpful, I have never had my hooked baited nor fish taken off and was not expecting it but those guys went beyond my expectations.  We didn’t waste time on spots that weren’t producing and we in the end got what we paid for.

Thank you captain J and first hand Jacob, hope to fish with you guys again.
