Did a half day with Day Shape Charters and he knows what he’s doing! We were on the fish right away! Captain Roland was also very respectful and professional I will definitely be going on another trip.
Matthew Blanchard
Capt. Roland was awesome! What a fun day catching so many different species! Snook, Crevalle Jack, Redfish, Trout, Grouper, Tarpon, a needlefish, and a massive Shark attempt! Best fishing trip I’ve been on! We caught so many fish it was hard to keep up! Roland is very knowledgeable, very patient, boat was pristine clean. Roland also accommodated us on short notice and was the highlight of our trip! Thanks again!
