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.

This was one of two trips we took this past week with Reel Tight and Captain Andy.  Got us on fish at every spot, did great with our boy’s.  He knew exactly how to teach them to fish this way compared to how they do in Lake Erie and ponds/rivers in Ohio (i.e. setting the hook,  baiting the hook. etc..). They enjoyed both trips and can’t wait until next year when we are planning on booking two more trips with them.

6 newly retired people and we caught fish to feed us for a month. Andy got us on fish from start to finish and was a hoot. Great guide and person. 2 nd time we’ve gone with him and it would be hard to go with anyone else. Thanks Andy and Matt!!
