If the fish are not biting in one spot Ted will keep going until he finds a spot where they are. Highly recommend you book your trip with Captain Ted.

The captain put us on the fish multiple times and we caught multiple different species! Great trip we will book again next time we’re in the area.

Met Capt Ted at the dock and he was ready to go. We had some high winds but Capt Ted went out of his way to put us on some fish. We caught trout, redfish, catfish, and a lady fish. Capt Ted was likable and pleasant the entire trip. My wife caught a really nice 29” Redfish and Capt Ted made it a special memory I’m sure she’ll never forget. Lots of cool dolphin and ray sightings too.  If we book another trip, Capt Ted is our first choice hands down.

My girlfriend (Char) and I are in our 50’s and have fished in Michigan for years.  Captain Ted Nesti took us out on his 21 ft. boat for an all day trip that started at 8;30 am.  He was very intense to get us on fish quickly.  He was quickly baiting us up and instructing us on catching fish.  He is very competitive at catching fish for his boat.  This suited us fine.  Captain Ted was able to put us on some fish all day. Sting rays, catfish, ocean trout, flounder and a small shark were fun, but he sensed we wanted bigger.  Near the end of our scheduled day he got us on some big red fish.  Char caught a 10lb one that was over the slot limit and we ended up catching a half dozen of them.  As this bite was hot, Captain Ted let us stay a half hour over.  Captain Ted also gave us a few tricks to bait fishing that increased the bite.  He let us fish until we called it off.  You can just see the passion he has to put people on fish!  However, the story is even better.  Captain Ted knew that in between tide coming in and going out, fishing is tougher.  During the slowest times, he found dolphins that actually followed the boat and jumped in his boat wakes.  He also seems to be a friend of the Manetee in the area.  He found a couple in a channel and we were able to pet one for about 20 minutes.
In short, Captain Ted Nesti is one very fun professional fisherman.  He had more than 25 spots for us to try, which proves he knew the area extremely well.  We also felt safe at all times.  He did everything and more to assure us that we had a great day no matter how the fishing went.  Best money I have ever spent.

Great trip.  Very friendly.  Was awesome with the young adults, and patient with the non-anglers.  Would definitely go again.
