My son and I went out for a 4-hour near shore fishing trip a with Captain Anthony, and we truly couldn’t have had a better time!

He was awesome at explaining everything so we were all on the same page, worked incredibly hard getting us on fish the whole trip, our hooks re-baited, and fish coming in over the rail, sometimes as we could drop new bait down, we often had “Fish On” almost indelicately after lowering our lines!

We caught more than we could keep, including Grunts, Hog Fish (delicious to eat!), Red Fish, and a few other more exotic species too!

Great time, Great Captain, Great Boat and Great, excellent time out on the water and we’ve had a few awesome meals from the fish we caught!  I definitely would book with Captain Anthony and So Salty Fishing the next time we go out!

Captain Anthony was everything I could hope for.  Coming from Wisconsin to Florida for vacation, the communication with Capt Anthony was attentive and prompt. We had to change pickup locations at the last minute due to dock repainting, bit he communicated this information and the new location was easy to find.  He was able to put us on fish at several different locations, which made us able to catch several different species of fish.  My wife, daughter, son, and I had a wonderful time. Not once out there did we feel like this was just a job to him, but it was his passion and he loved doing it.  Our conversations flowed naturally, as if we were out there with an old friend catching up.  Captain Anthony
will be my only pick for a fishing charter the next time we come down and I will be recommending his charter to those I know.

Let me start off by saying when I booked this trip, I didn’t realize that it would be a 2.5 hour drive for us but reading the description about the kid friendly experience the wife and I decided to keep the booking and make the drive and boy are we glad we did. Capt. Anthony was absolutely amazing! He was super friendly and great with our two boys (10 and 4). We had a beautiful day for fishing and Capt. Anthony got us right on the fish.

Capt. Anthony was very informative and great with answering all the questions the kids had, even the 4 year old that questions everything… 😅. Our 10 year old has some experience fishing so after we got him started and the wife and I were catching fish, Capt. Anthony took our youngest for one on one and helped him out so mom and I could enjoy ourselves as well.

Even though the fish didn’t stop biting the whole time we were out there, eventually the attention span of the children shifted from the fish in the ocean to the bait fish in the boat. Capt. Anthony kept them busy by “giving them a job” and having them dip out bait fish when lines needed fresh bait which the kids absolutely loved.

All in all, if we ever find our selves back in his part of Florida we will definitely be return customers. Heck, we may even make the 2.5 hour drive again the experience was so good.

First time out for me and my three boys (16,14,12). We had a wonderful time. Our goal was to catch several species of fish and take some fish home to eat. We caught 11 different species of fish and brought more than enough fish home. Anthony was great with my sons. He is really good at reading people and knowing their level of fishing experience. My boys fish in the Midwest but this was their first time out on the ocean. We went several miles off shore and fished several good spots. Anthony is really good at communicating in advance and working his hardest for the customer. He is good at explaining things and setting you up to succeed. He took his time to clean all of our fish really nice (compared to some of the other guides we saw who quickly clout through the fish and left a lot of meat on the bone).

Definitely, memories we will cherish for a lifetime. It was a joy to spend a morning with him. I am glad we chose him for the good reviews we saw. We definitely will choose Anthony when we come back to Florida. My sons say, “Fishing with Anthony is a must!”

one of the best fishing experiences we’ve ever had. From the start, his communication was top-notch—he made sure we knew exactly what to expect before we even stepped on the boat. Once we were on the water, his dedication and hard work were evident.

Captain Anthony didn’t just take us to a spot and wait for the fish to come to us. He put in the effort to actively find where they were biting, making smart adjustments throughout the day based on conditions. It was clear he had a well-thought-out plan, but he also adapted as needed to maximize our chances of success. His knowledge and willingness to educate us along the way added even more to the experience.

If you’re looking for a captain who truly cares about making your trip the best it can be, Captain Anthony is the one. He’s professional, hardworking, and genuinely passionate about what he does. We can’t recommend him highly enough
