Great thanks to captain Ryan! Baits and gears are ready so we started our trip right in the morning. My wife caught two little sheepsheads and then we moved to the Jetty.  Ryan lead us to a place about a mile to the sea, and then the fish bites started. My daughters caught several quite big sheepshead (17’‘), while I was fighting with small white grunts… My wife even caught a sea robin and almost landed a big blue crab. :).  It is indeed a fantastic family trip! Captain Ryan kept everybody busy and happy.  Oh, the boat is nice and clean too.  We actually enjoy the foggy day every much.  Definitely will recommend Ryan to anyone who love to have a easy family water day finishing inshore/intercostal.

    Capt Ryan Miller kept communication with us before the trip by readily responding to our questions and emails.  This trip was for my husband and our 9 year old granddaughter, and for me to join in with a camera to record the day.  We started in the mangrove’s, with success right away!  Then off to see if the Gulf was smooth and it was…we fought with the local dolphin over the fish we were catching, then on to Snake Island where our granddaughter got a chance to get off the boat, get wet and find shells to take home…finally our last stop was around the pilings of private docks.  Our granddaughter was comfortable with Capt Ryan and wasn’t afraid to ask him questions or request lessons on casting.  We will arrange an adults only adventure with him sometime in the near future. 
    The boat was clean and well cared for.  Ryan drove it in such a way that even when rough water churned up due to fast boaters going by, we took the force very gently.  The only negative is that there were very few cushions to sit on.

My wife and I invited two friends from PA for their first fishing trip. The captain prepared everything and was very patient to teach first timers to catch some keeper sheepers and even more.  We caught various species of fish and enjoyed seeing dolphin Dali swimming by the boat….

Our family of four fished @ 8 am and had a great time. Ryan took us from Osprey down to the Venice area. Ryan had plenty of bait and found several spots where the fish were biting. We caught jacks, snappers, catfish, and pinfish. We had a few that were keepers. Super nice guy and very patient. My daughter even caught a boat lift on a dock and Ryan had to troll the boat up to the dock to release the hook from the lift. He was very courteous and professional. At the end of our time, he filleted the fish for us to take home.

We so enjoyed our trip with Ryan. He is so patient, good natured, and helpful. We caught many fish, but couldn’t keep them all due to size. But the thrill of getting one hooked made it so exciting. And best of all,  my grandson came to me in the evening and said it was the best day of his life. Ryan made that possible and we are grateful for the memory made!
