Had over half day fishing planned and talked to Xavier ahead of time getting updates on a plan. When we got there we had a plan and trolled around for Wahoo had a slow start fought a record for me to the boat just to let him use the boat against me and watch him swim away. Once the bite closed we switched to dropping some live bait to see what we would pull up grabbed a shark and nice king mackerel. Wish I would have scheduled several days in a row but I’ll be back when the fishing picks up.
If you want a laid back trip give my man Xavier a look and put him to work for ya.

Capt Xavier worked hard to get us some fish.  We had asked about concentrating on snook and tarpon and he did his best to accommodate that.  As the morning snook/tarpon bite wasn’t happening he suggested we go offshore to troll for some predators.  The sea conditions were a bit rough but he did everything he could to make the ride comfortable.  We trolled for about an hour and then suddenly we had a double hookup of large mahi mahi.  Both fish were boated.  We also caught a cero mackerel and a small bonito offshore before coming back inshore to try again for snook and tarpon.  We had one snook bite but didn’t have a solid hookset.  It was a great day on the water.  We saw a lot of nature- herons ospreys a season turtle and a manatee, caught some good fish and enjoyed his company.

So I am not new to fishing. I’ve been doing this with friends for years. I brought along a couple of pals who had never been and took a chance with Xavier. Lemme just tell you this guy and his deck mate are seriously incredible. He took us every kind of fishing we could do that day. Gulf Stream over ten miles out, drifting, trolling the reef and so on. I’ve never been on a charter that’s done anything similar or met my needs/wants for a day on the water quite like this.  Like nobody wants to go that far out, but this guy… actual response was no problem let’s do it. Oh and we actually got hooked up on some stuff on a dry day for most people. Talk about a win!

So, if you wanna catch some fish, have a great time, and get the full experience at the fairest price in south Florida, Xavier is your guy. Point blank. Unbeatable. We had a blast!

Caught a fish and had a great time! Fishing was choppy but we had a great time with the boys. Fish can be here and there but we preferred the day in the sun and on the water more than being under a foot of snow in Michigan. Captain Xavier and Joey we the coolest dudes to be on the water with. Hands down, fishing with these guys every time I come to Florida.

Had a great day out on the water with some friends. Reel lit charters and captain Xavier where great! Waters started off a little rough but captain Xavier made it as smooth as possible!  We caught a nice size barracuda and about a 4ft shark! Also a bunch of yellow tail And snappers.. He’s patient and good at what he does!  I highly recommend reel lit charters if you want to have a good time on the water and catch fish!  Thank you Xavier!
