Booked a 8hr offshore but Mother Nature had other plans.  Rain cleared out but high winds really picked up. Captain shifted to inshore for us (3 dads/sons).  Remaind challenging in open water but Captain Andy found many locations for us to help shield in and put us on fish in almost every spot.  He is very professional, respectful, and safe minded.  He is great with all ages too!  He has the knowledge, skills, and equipment to make the most of any situation.  Highly recommend Captain Andy and Reel Tight Charters.  This was my second trip with him/them in last couple of years and won’t be the last!

Overall it was a great trip and experience for the kids.  We had a change in people going and ended up with a 10, 12, and 14 yr old and three adults.  Captain Tyler was really helpful with the kids and put us on the fish.

He provided some good pointers to the kids and adults alike.  Unfortunately for us, we had to relearn how to fish, in the Midwest you yank and set the hook…took a bit, but by the end of the trip everyone had gotten at least one fish onboard that was a keeper. 

We properly caught close to 30 fish, and missed another 30.  We got to see Dolphins and an aggregation of 10 Manatee.  We caught seven species of fish in total and also saw a sting ray. 

I will be booking again next year.  Not sure if it’s going to be a half day or not though, it all depends on who wants to go.  The half day was the perfect length of time for the kids though so it worked out.

Caught flounder,sheepshead,amber jacks,groupers, and mangrove snapper. A lot of action and the captain worked hard to keep us in the action.

Captain Andy was great, the weather was not typical for south Florida, Captain Andy took a bad weather fishing day and made it a great one for our group of 6.  His knowledge and experience of the fish and the waters was second to none.
we will be booking our next fishing trip with Reel Tight again.
