3/4 day offshore on May 24, 2025

Captain Corey and Dillon were great! Fun to talk with and had great personalities. We got on fish right away and limited out. They were very patient and took the time to teach my wife and kids who had never been offshore fishing. I will use them anytime I’m in the area and want to go fishing!

10 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing on September 20, 2022

Captain Cory was fantastic. We were originally going on a Tuesday, the winds/seas would have been tough on us. As it turned out we were able to go on Wednesday instead. He recommended we not go even if we couldn’t reschedule because he wanted us to be able to fish effectively and have a good time…most Captains would have taken our money regardless. As for the fishing, he put us on the fish and we were able to catch all the various species. He asked us particularly what kind of species we would like. Even while we were out on water he was willing to change things up with no problems. Deck hand Mike was also superb…he kept us baited up and helpful with anything we asked. I would highly recommend

Half day inshore on June 14, 2023

Captain Cory went out of his way to give us the best fishing experience we could ask for! Well worth the time and the cost! We have 5 massive Red Snapper to fry tonight! Will use him again next time we are in town.
