An Incredible Day on the Water – Expert Knowledge and a Grand Slam!
Full Day Fishing Trip 2 ppl 4 max on May 1, 20261 adult

I had an absolutely fantastic time out on the water today with Captain Randy. If you are looking for a guide who is as social as he is knowledgeable, look no further. We had a highly productive day, successfully landing a variety of species including snook, redfish, and trout. What really set this trip apart was the educational aspect. Captain Randy didn't just put us on the fish; he shared several new tips and tricks that definitely leveled up my technique. It’s clear he knows these waters inside and out. Between the great conversation and the steady action, it was a perfect day. I highly recommend booking with him if you want a professional, friendly, and skill-building fishing experience!

My son (9) had his first scalloping experience, caught his first redfish, and caught his first snook (plus 2 more). And we completed the inshore grand slam with some sea trout. Great day on the water!

I have been fishing hard since I was 8 years old. At 49 I decided to become a captain and to show people what I have learned in the 31 years of experience I have. I have perfected the live bait technique and my customers love it. I also lure fish and jig the flats. I have won multiple fishing tournaments with my style of fishing.
