I’m a Brazilian sport fisherman and I was little time on my trip USA, so it was great because I didn’t have to worry about buying fishing equipment or even providing some things for the boat, the guide provided everything. Kyle is an excellent teacher and sails his boat safely, he knows the best fishing points and uses the best tackle and bait. It was an amazing experience, next time I’ll take my kids fishing together.

Kyle is a fine young Gentleman obviously with good raising. He is passionate about what he does. Had a great time on my 54th Birthday. We caught some pretty fish and he taught me about the latest electronics and shared good stories. I hope he has much success in his Pro career and hope to fish with him again.

It started slow but Kyle kept grinding until we turned an average day into one to remember. Kyle can get it done.
