jackAiIconJack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Steven Swindal consistently delivers exceptional fishing results across Tampa Bay waters, with customers regularly catching 10+ fish per trip including snook, redfish, trout, and sharks. His expertise shines through strategic spot selection - when one location slows down, Steven quickly moves to productive waters, often putting clients on fish within minutes of departure. Experienced anglers appreciate his knowledge of seasonal patterns and techniques, while he patiently teaches beginners everything from baiting hooks to safely handling sharks. Steven's enthusiasm becomes contagious when customers land fish, celebrating each catch with genuine excitement. Families especially value his patience with children ages 5-14, taking individual time with each young angler and adapting trips to include exciting shark fishing when conditions change. His hands-on teaching style and willingness to answer countless questions about local fish and seasonal changes create memorable learning experiences. Multiple customers book repeat trips year after year, with many deleting other charter contacts after experiencing Steven's superior service.

I had an excellent experience with Captain Steven Swindal at Florida Raised Fishing Adventures. He was on time, professional, and his communication before and during the trip was solid. What stood out most was the hands-on learning style—exactly what worked best for me. I asked a ton of questions about the fish and seasonal changes, and Steven had all the answers. If you want to learn while you fish, he’s the guide for you. I also appreciated the encouragement and the gentle push outside my comfort zone, which made the day even more rewarding. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced fisherman, Captain Steven makes it a memorable trip.
