FAQ

 I  recommend  you  bring  adequate  supplies  to  sustain  yourself.    Plenty  of  water/beverages,  snacks ,  and  sandwich  type  substance.    I  provide  a  cooler  which  will  keep  your items  cold,  or  you  are  more  than welcome  to  bring  a  small soft sided cooler.    I  also  recommend  you  bring  a  hat,  polarized  sunglasses,  sun  tan  lotion  (non-aerosol  only),  and  a  small  hand  towel.   

 You  certainly  may  bring  your  own  gear.    I  provide  professional  quality  gear  from  Bull  Bay  Rods and  Florida  Fishing  Products,  which  I  keep  fully  maintained.   Please  let  me  know  if  you  intend  to  bring  your  own  equipment so that the boat can be set up accordingly prior to your arrival!. 

 Yes! Additionally  I  offer  discounts  for  all  first  responders. As a retired police officer, I want nothing more than to give back to my brothers and sister of public service, and our veterans.  Let's spend a stress free day on the water!

Reel Insane Fishing is dedicated to the conservation of our sport.  All trips are catch & release.  Should you want a "Meat" Trip, please call me, and I will refer you to an excellent network of captains who cater to those requests!

Every captain has their own way of conducting business, no different than myself. I feel I set myself apart by the atmosphere I create on the boat and the dedication I provide to fill the customers goals for the day.  I'm also an honest steward of conservation.  I believe in protecting our fishery, our estuary, and taking care of it for future generations. The whole reason I dove into guiding was to share what an amazing estuary we have, share some stories and laughs, and to catch some fish. My goal is that at the end of the day you look back and think about how great of a time you had and the memories you made.

Absolutely.  Often times my customers just enjoy being on the water.  If you wish to go hang out on the sand bar, i'll be happy to take you.  I have a maximum limit of 6 people per United States Coast Guard regulations.  Please visit my Rates page for more information.

You're going to love our new boat! We run all of our charters on a 2018 Blue Wave 2400 Pure Bay powered by a 300hp Yamaha 4-Stroke.  This boat is 24'6" long, and 8.5' wide providing you with all the room you need to have a great day on the water! 

I love taking out families and young kids.  The smile on their face the first time a big Snook pulls back is what makes it all worth it!  I also love taking out veterans and first responders.  As a retired first responder, this community means the world to me! 

I do not participate in any broker sites.  I feel it cheapens the experience, and my goal is to make your day on the water memorable!  The vast majority of my new customers comes from good reviews and word of mouth.  Will you be the next!?

Rescheduling Policy:  We want to take you fishing but understand that sometimes things arise. If you need to reschedule, we will allow a one time reschedule to another available date.  

Cancellation Policy:   We have a 14 day cancellation policy.  If you fail to cancel your trip prior to 14 days before your trip, you will forfeit your deposit.  We hate to see you cancel and miss out on an awesome day of fishing but if you need to cancel, your deposit will be refunded in full should you do so before 14 days prior to your scheduled trip.

Issues Related to Weather:  The Captain has final say on all weather related cancellations or scheduling.  We do not want to take any chance of someone being injured on a trip for a reason that could have been avoided.  Therefore, should the Captain cancel a trip due to weather, you will be rescheduled to the next available date.
