Wife and daughters finally went fishing off shore

6 Hour Trolling (AM) on July 24, 2025 • 5 adults

Couldn’t ask for a better experience to take my wife and daughters off shore for their first journey. Boat size handles the waters better than many smaller boats seen on many charter sites. Captain Parker keeps a clean boat and knows the area and what he is doing. Trust what he says, we showed up thinking we would troll for 6 hours, he indicated trolling was slow and we should live bait off some wrecks. Best decision ever, my son and the ladies caught big fish. Captains mate Shawn should not be overlooked, he and Parker together make it all work. We will use them anytime we are wanting to charter.

Great Time Fishing!

8 Hour Trip – Trolling on July 13, 2025 • 2 adults

Booked an outing for my son and myself. Our original date was canceled due to rain and lightning so we came back a month later. Great weather and very good fishing. Caught 17 fish, Amberjack, Barracuda, Tuna, and a few others. Had a great time. We missed several fish, including a really nice one as we got hime within 20 yards of the boat when he got off. The crew was outstanding, especially Parker who kept our hook in the water and then cleaned our catch when we got back to the dock. Ship next to us came back and only had 4 fish between 5 guys. So we are VERY HAPPY with this charter!!!

Awesome Boat/Awesome Crew

12 Hour Trip – Gulfstream on June 7, 2025 • 6 adults

Our trip aboard the SS Fish Witch II was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we stepped on board, the crew made us feel welcome and prepared us for an unforgettable day on the water. The boat was clean, well-equipped, and clearly operated by experienced professionals who know how to find the fish. Captain Parker and the crew Shawn were knowledgeable, friendly, and constantly working to make sure we had the best possible experience. Their passion for fishing really showed, and they were more than happy to share tips and help everyone—from first-timers to seasoned anglers. We had non-stop action with multiple catches throughout the trip, including some barracuda and black fin tuna! The crew handled everything with skill and made sure we were safe, comfortable, and having a blast the whole time. They even cut and cleaned the fish when we got back! Whether you’re looking to land the big one or just enjoy a day out at sea, SS Fish Witch II is the boat to book. Can’t recommend it enough—we’ll definitely be back for another trip soon!

6 Hour Bottom Fishing (AM) on July 27, 2025 • 6 adults

These guys were awesome! Don't let those young faces fool you. They certainly DO know their stuff! As soon as our crew dropped our lines, the fish were biting! So Exciting!! I do think you should check to see what fish is in or out of season if you have a preference. *bragging moment* 😂 I caught 2 red snappers and had to throw them back🥺 WHAT A GREAT EXPERIENCE!! Thank you and we will be booking again.

Hi LeColsha, Thank you for your great 5 star review. We enjoyed having on the boat and taking you fishing. It's hard to throw those tasty American Red Snappers back to live another day:) We hope to see you again someday. Tight Lines! Captain Parker and Shjon

Pleasant Friday morning on the water

4 Hour Trip (AM) on September 12, 2025 • 3 adults

Capt. Parker & 1st mate Sean took very good care of us on the Fish Witch II. Our first CB charter experience and it was a good one. An early morning 4 hour trip. Great weather, caught fish, enjoyed the conversion, and watching the guys "do their thing." The crew provided tons of information about their strategy, fish in season, water conditions, etc. Plenty of room to move around in the boat. We didin't catch a lot of fish, but enough to keep it interesting. A great Charter. I highly recommened it
