Mike was an awesome guide with plenty of great stories, and plenty of helpful tips for out on the water.

We targeted shark and sea trout and had success on both, with two sharks, and multiple sea trout being caught.

Mike was very knowledgeable and came prepared with lots of bait, high quality tackle and rods/reels, and a beautiful, clean, spacious and comfortable vessel.

He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, and on any and all fish that were biting. Thanks again Captain Mike, we’ll be back for the full day trip soon!

Captain Mike was awesome and we had the best experience catching saltwater fish with lures ever. Mike hosted my family Parents, Kids, and Wife and made every effort to make everyone comfortable and knowledgeable in fishing. Mike is very knowledgable about the wild life and water ways as a full on resource.

We crushed some Spotted Trout as Mike went out of his way to make sure we went home with some dinner.

Overall I give Mike a perfect score with one critique. We’re used to going to a Marina for being picked up for Fishing Excursions. However, this trip started at Sanibel Public Boat launch off the main bridge and we had no warning about Parking costs being unfamiliar with the area. In the end it’s our fault but a heads up would have been nice.

For future customers it appears the Sanibel boat launch will be off limits as the government is trying to limit the traffic to that area to speed up the bridge repairs.

The trip was a great time. The captain was knowledgeable to put us on the fish right away. Very patient with us and our teenage daughter as we havent fished much in the past 5 years and this was our first time in the Gulf. When we come back down, Mike will be on our radar to go back out in the gulf.

We had an incredible time on our afternoon charter With BIG ONE CHARTER!
Captain Mike Sharpe was fantastic and really knows his way around these waters! His enthusiasm is wonderful and his knowledge incredible! You can go wrong with captain Mike!

Take a real fishing charter if you’re up for a tarpon trip, Capt Mike goes out of his way to make sure you have the best advantage with the proper live baits and timing for an adventure
