With a wealth of local knowledge and over half a century of fishing experience, Captain Junior's Guide Service is your best choice in Apalachicola. Enjoy a day on the water of the mighty river or the beautiful bay and fish like the locals.
Get your hands on whichever fish species you are in the mood for. Catch large Redfish and Trout or target anything else that patrols the local waters. With Sheepshead, Flounder, Tripletail, White Trout, and even Sharks all among the popular catches, it's hard to resist a trip with Captain Junior.
Complete novice to seasoned fisherman, everyone is welcome to join in the adventure. Just make sure to grab your camera to document all the fish you're going to catch and show it off later. As well as that, you may want to bring your own food and drinks.
All trips come with the use of quality rods, reels, tackle, lures, and licenses. You will be able to catch live bait at the beginning of the trip, which is especially exciting for the younger anglers.
Captain Junior's Guide Service operates a 22' Sea Pro bay boat, fresh on the water in 2010. It comes powered by a single 250 HP Yamaha engine and has plenty of space for up to 4 anglers. The boat is fully rigged with modern electronics and technologies, as well as a livewell for the bait and an ice-box for the catch. All aboard!

Half Day Trip (AM) on May 26, 2026 • 4 adultsSign up with Junior. Best guide and fishing trip I’ve been on (and I’ve been guided in Alaska, Colorado, Florida and other parts). It was me, two of my sons and my daughter-in-law. Captain Jr. kept us moving from spot to spot. I suspect he is a fish whisperer. With age comes wisdom. Junior had us laughing and smiling the whole time. AND CATCHING FISH!!!!!!! Rate him 12 out of 10.

Full Day Trip on September 18, 2026 • 3 adultsJunior’s card says “fish catching “ and that’s exactly what we did. I don’t think I’ve ever caught so many fish on one trip before. We will definitely use him again ❤️

Half Day Trip (AM) on July 24, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childWe loved our time with Captain Junior, he knew a ton about the bay and kept our hooks baited the entire time. He was great with our sleepy (somewhat cranky) four year old so we were very appreciative of him having us onboard! Highly recommend!
