Captain Glenn was very accommodating and knew all the spots to explore. It was my 5 year old son’s first time fishing in the ocean and he took him under his wing explaining what each fish was and letting him sit up on the top deck with him to see. Awesome Captain who created a great experience for my whole family and highly recommend!Posted on Google Brian LarsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a very good time with Captain Glenn.Posted on Google Scott DolanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you’re looking for a great fishing charter, I highly recommend Reel Sharp Sportfishing. I’ve been fishing with Captain Glenn on and off for nearly 20 years and he consistently puts people on fish (caught my first sailfish with him many moons ago). He really knows the local waters and is always dialed in on what’s working — whether that means fishing inshore, heading offshore, trolling, or working structure in the shallows. The boat and gear are top notch, everything is well maintained, and he’s incredibly patient with everyone on board. Whether you’re an experienced angler or taking your first charter fishing trip, he makes the whole experience fun, educational, and productive. I’ve never been skunked on a boat with him. He knows the other Captains and stays on top of fishing report. He also knows good restaurants that will cook up your catch if you’re not local. Reel Sharp Sportfishing is a great choice.
