Had a great time with Wade. He was able to get us on some trout within about 20 minutes of leaving the dock. There were multiple tournaments the weekend he took us out, but he still had solid spots that all produced. He handles pretty much everything besides casting and reeling, so this would be great for less experienced folks too! (He’s a great photographer also!)

Thanks again for everything Wade.

I’ve used many fishing guides throughout Central and North America and hands down Afishionado has been by far the best. We were a group of 5, 2 Adults and 3 kids. I was the only one in the group with a lot of fishing experience, but it didn’t matter. Captain Wade made it so easy and fun to fish that my young niece and nephew, who had no fishing experience, had an amazing time.

All the other guides that I have hired have had a first mate helping them, so when I saw that Captain Wade was working by himself, I mentally prepare myself and the kids to have a lot of down time, but I was pleasantly surprised that this was not the case. Captain Wade’s system for baiting your hook was so efficient that you spend almost all of your time with your line in the water, which equates to catching more fish. I caught more keepers on this trip than I did in my last 3 trips combined.

Also, Captain Wade is a trained photographer, and it shows in the quality of the pictures he took. He takes care of taking all the pictures, so that you don’t miss out in capturing the great memories. I can’t wait until I’m in the Tampa area again so that I can hire Captain Wade of Afishionado to take me on another amazing fishing trip.

We spent two days fishing with Afishionado in early November and had a great time! Wade runs a squared-away boat and was deeply knowledgeable of the Bay and the best places to fish. In fact, every place he took us, we caught fish! Big fish! I highly recommend Afishionado Guide Services and will use them again!

I usually don’t do this however; I would like to recommend a guide. I have been using Wade at Afishionado Guide Services for many years. If you are in the Tampa/St. Petersburg area on spring break or anytime, it is $ well spent. If you are a beginner or a pro, Wade will instruct when asked and always has varieties of live bait. Fly or conventional, he always puts me on the snook and redfish. Prices are more than competitive, and I promise he outworks the average guide experience. He will also let you enjoy/photograph the wildlife whenever you see a manatee or dolphins etc., if this is what you desire. Top-notch boat and equipment. If you get a chance contact Wade.

Wade saved the day! My sister-in-law booked a charter online for her husband’s birthday. My wife and I were invited, so we all took the day off from work. One hour before our scheduled excursion, the captain cancelled our charter. Trying to salvage our day, we looked for Guide Services and found Wade. We explained to him what happened and without hesitation he told us to meet him at the ramp at 11am! We couldn’t have handpicked a better Captain! Wade’s Sheaffer was immaculate and fully stocked with bait and gear. Talk about service! We had a great day on the water and caught Snook, Redfish, Trout, Flounder, and Snapper. Wade even filleted the keepers for us to take home for dinner that night! Thank you Wade for the amazing experience!
