Mike is an incredible Captain that operates the most fantastic charter boat I have been on. He took my family to his secret spots and we were reeling in fish the rest of the day. He is very knowledgeable and accommodating. Additionally, he has a safe boat and fantastic equipment. I recommend Wise Guy Charters to anyone that wants to have a memorable fishing experience.
