TESTIMONIALS

Gerard Palacios (Tampa, FL)

Great charter!! I am a native of FL and have gone out fishing tons of times growing up down south, however, this was one of the best experiences I’ve had. We spent the day fishing for Tarpon and Capt Bueno knows the bay so well we were always on the fish. I hooked the biggest Tarpon of my life and had a ridiculously good fight bringing it up. I would highly recommend Capt Bueno to anyone who wants a big day on the water and catch a ton of fish and most importantly, have a great time in the process!

April was the second time we fished with Captain Bueno. We had a great time both trips. My son (now 14) would not go fishing with anyone else. Carlos really knows his fishing and both trips were a lot of fun. We caught plenty of fish. We would definitely go again next year. The first time we did the 4 hour and the last time we did the fishing for (8) hours which gives you the chance to visit many more choices of fishing spots.

Matt Klink (St. Pete, FL)

I had a blast fishing with Capt. Bueno. I got to see the whole St. Petersburg area from the water and learned some history about the area. We were lucky enough to catch some really nice trout and see schools of giant tarpon, but the coolest thing was seeing a barracuda chomp my fish in half as I was reeling it in. I would definitely recommend Capt. Bueno. Fish with him and you’re in for a good time.

Stephanie Lawniczek (Tarpon Springs, FL)

It’s Stephanie from the fishing trip on Friday. Just wanted to say thanks again for being such a great captain. We all had such a wonderful time. I will definitely be in touch next time we make it down that way so we can head out again! I will forward some pictures along once I receive them!

Carlos,

I will never forget the rain myself. I really enjoyed last Friday and can’t wait till next year. I would love to do a nighttime trip but not sure if my dad would be up to it. I would recommend your services to anyone!

I chartered Capt. Bueno last week and had the best day of fishing I’ve had in my life. Being a Tampa native and daughter of a fisherman, it is safe to say that I thought I knew what I was doing out on the water. I learned more from an afternoon on the bay with Capt. Bueno than I have in my lifetime of fishing our local waters. He has an instinct like I have never witnessed. I have never caught… more fish in one outing as I did with him. We landed almost 2 dozen redfish and a handful of trout in just a few hours. As quickly as I could land one, we would have another fish on. He has a very rich knowledge of the local waters and their history. I not only learned a few subtle changes that I needed to make with my technique, but I also left the dock having learned stories about how places like Weedon Island came to be. It was an all around fantastic day and I will be fishing with Capt. Carlos Bueno for years to come!

Just another reminder about my buddy Captain Carlos Bueno a fine young captain in the Tampa bay area

if your heading to the tow show this year and need a break from all the hype and BS this is the best way I can think of if you love to fish and want to try some hot inshore fishing with a pleasant and polite young captain that has spent most of his days on the water in the area learning where and how to catch fish.

I was on the water for less than 24 minutes and already had a limit of gator trouts in the boat.

It started to rain after that and we went back in after only an hour he gave me the option of waiting it out and going back for more fish of different species but I had all I needed for my salt water fix.

I tell you this is a fine young man that doesn’t try to blow smoke up your arse or fill your head full of his wondrous experience like a lot of captains have done to me in the past.

Guy didn’t even have a fish finder on the boat he knew where they were and drove right to them in an area i was personally skeptical of but he baited my hook for me with a live shrimp and tossed it out and that shrimp never had a chance Trout ON

I can’t remember losing a single bait without a fish being on the line they were eating them that good.

I am including his web page so you can reach him and set up your own great experience if you love to fish or just want to try something new this Captain will put you on them.

I don;’t give my persona recommendation unless it is strongly deserved and I have to tell you I was truly impressed and delighted with the results.

Been on a lot of charters this was the best one ever

Best thing about him is that he will take up to six fishermen on the boat which is unheard of for inshore fishing you can split his more than reasonable rate among you and have a great trip for next to nothing.
