The most unexpected thing would definitely be the big old amberjack we caught… it was really heavy and definitely had a big kick.

Captain Kyle

What’s special about your fishing trips?

Every time I leave the dock, I'm trying to get that person to come with me year after year after year. I want them happy, I want them entertained. That's my goal.

What would you say to families who aren’t sure if Reel Time is for them?

If families are nervous, I always tell them, “See the white in my beard? We're going to be fine, we’re going to have fun. And if anything happens out there, I've been through it.”

Why is it important for teens to experience Reel Time?

Teens are spending less time outdoors. You’ll see them get that rod in their hands and then once they catch that first fish, you literally watch that switch flip to where they’re more confident and ask, “When can I come back?”
