We had an amazing time on our fishing charter! There were four of us, and everyone had a great experience from start to finish. The Captain was friendly, helpful, and clearly knew all the best spots—we were reeling in fish all day. We ended up catching a cooler full of fish which was icing on the cake. Everything was well-organized, and the atmosphere was relaxed and fun. Highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a successful and enjoyable day on the water!

Captain Mike was awesome, he put us on baitfish early in the morning caught a big black snapper while trolling another while drop fishing and a king mackrel and missed about four more caught several bonitas which fight really good and fun to catch. We even hooked about a 9’ bull shark that we fought for a good hour before it cut our line, but we did get him to the top of the water to get to see him. Awesome day. Captain Mike was very knowledgeable knew where to go and was a down to earth fun... Еще

First Shot Charters is the Best! Captain Mike is a Master of his Craft. Going out for our First time on his 20ft boat was the perfect fit for me and my 2 sons. Captain Mike Skillfully navigated the waters, reading his Lowrance (FishFinder) screens like Neo from the Matrix. He landed us in great spots for an overall amazing fishing experience. He plays great music and answers any questions with an educational stance. We learned a lot and had the best time. First Shot Charters is the Way to go.... Еще

Made some adjustments due to less than ideal weather and wnded up with plenty of fish.  Me any my son had a great experience and would recommend Captain Mike to anyone.

We had used the same Captain for 10 previous years but he retired and sold his boat.  The new people rate see the price and essentially priced us out.  We found captain Mike Dates and fished with him in July, 2025.  We had a blast, he worked hard and put us on fish.  We caught an assortment of fish from Snapper to Grouper to Amberjack.  Two of us even fought 2 Bull sharks for an hour each.  Highly recommend and we will fish with him again.
