I had booked this charter fully expecting that fishing would be slower with the cooler temperatures... It wasn't! To say that Captain Xavier put us on fish would be an understatement. I've never seen so many quality fish. The organization and size of the boat made navigating to fight fish even easier. Fishing is never a guarantee, but it's always fun when even the captain is surprised. Thanks for an excellent day!
Captain Xavier was great with my 11 y/o son and his 12 y/o buddy on our trip. The conditions were very windy and was concerned we might not have much luck but he put us on the redfish right away! We caught approximately 30 on a morning trip and some really nice ones! Multiple times both boys had a fish on the line at the same time. Captain Xavier was easygoing and made our trip very enjoyable! Would definitely recommend!
Great Charter today with captain Xavier. Quality redfish at almost every spot we fished. Extensive local knowledge, excellent demeanor, shared fishing tips and worked very hard to provide an excellent experience for us .
