I booked a trip with Captain Alden to take my family out for a great day on the water. It was a little bit of a slow bite that day, but Capt. Alden did everything he could to put us on some fish. We ended up catching 7 different species and kept a cooler of Speckled Sea Trout , which we cooked up later for fish tacos!!! Capt. Alden was very informative and helpful during the whole trip. Thanks Again!!!  We will definitely be using Hot Reels, when we come back to visit Florida.

My son’s and I chartered with Captain Alden Sheils of Hot Reels Inshore fishing Charters today.  We had a great time and caught some fish including a great Red Drum.  Alden is very knowledgeable, helpful, and passionate about his fishing charters.  He was fun to be with and we will charter again.

Caught a variety, including a beautiful black drum that turned into an unforgettable dinner. Can’t recommend them enough—great guys, great experience, and they’re out here grinding.... Meer

The captain took us to several locations and managed to find sites where we were alone but still caught several keepers. My brother who is also a fishing captain in New Jersey was quite pleased with Captain Alden’s knowledge and expertise.
