Christopher Annabel: I went fishing with my daughter and Vinny and we both had a great time. He is easy to talk to and makes sure everyone has a good time and enjoys themselves. I consider myself an experienced fisherman and Vinny gave me advice on catching a new species that I wasn't able to catch on my own previously. He is a patient instructor that I would recommend for all ages and skill levels and his pricing is more than fair.

Patrick Pierre Jr.: Always wanted to learn to fish and had such a great experience. I didn't just learn the basics of fishing...I got an education from an experienced fisherman. I got more then just teaching I gained wisdom. Can't wait for my next lesson. Fishing is something I've always wanted to learn and I feel like I'm on my way. Pier-Masters is great. Appreciate the patience.Cant wait to learn more.

Ellen K: I visit the beaches regularly in southern Florida. I met Vinny on one of the piers he fishes at. "VINNY" is an icon in the Deerfield Beach and surrounding fishing community. I had absolutely zero skills but Vinny reassured me that I could be taught to fish. I booked a couple of hours and but I did not have any fishing gear, Vinny offered a pole but usually a person must bring their own gear. (I did go out an buy a rod after my first lesson). While fishing, I noticed that very seasoned fishing people approached Vinny for advice and tips. I learned how to string my rod and the importance of different weights and sizes of hook; the type of bait; fresh water vs salt water fishing. He was tolerant and teaching to a novice as I am. The two hours I spent, I noticed young children yelling "Hey Vinny, look what I caught. I've been back to the fishing spot since fishing with my own gear. Vinny would ask "How's it going". And I would will see this big gentle giant surrounded by kids he has taught as they run up and hug him. Vinny loves kids and they love him back. He has been teaching kids for years and years and those kids that become adults, bring their kids for fishing classes. If you want to give your kids a hobby they will love; that will help balance this computer techno world we live in, you can get them back to nature, I would highly recommend him to parents or just as a family fishing class. It is a joy to watch a group of kids so excited about being out in nature; learning about turtles... (as Vinny will explain when a turtle was brought to him... that the number of plates on the back of a turtle identify the species). Vinny's classes are reasonable; you are being guided by a true Piermasters. You can also see a lot of pictures on Facebook by searching Piermasters Fishing Classes (https://www.facebook.com/pg/102piermasters) as I did to further explore his background. I was impressed. I also found him on Yelp and decided to leave this review. Yes, I rave about Vinny. He is the real deal. I now consider him a friend since he a such a regular at the various piers... from Juno to Pompano Beach. I look forward to further fishing at some of the other piers other than the one we fished from.
