Captain was knowledgeable and kept us moving if fish were not biting. We were looking specifically for a goliath, but we wanted to make sure we caught our limit first, so we did not go to the location until afternoon, which was too late. We also caught 3 sharks, one close to 10ft, as well as our limit on red grouper and several snapper. On the trip back, we also saw a 23ft whale shark just cruising and got nice pics and video. We were both worn out by the end of the day. Had a great catch and will book with Captain Adam on our next trip to get the Goliath!!
first date had to be postponed due to poor weather howver Adam kept in touch at all times and gotvus in a few days later. Timed to perfection Adam had us fishing for bait fish within a very short time. Then off to try for some barracuda’s. Caught one within a short time and then we decided to move off to catch some snappers for supper. caught a nice load before Adam filleted enough for supper and then he recommended a local restaurant who would cook them for us. overall a brilliant time. i can thoroughly recommend this charter. Already trying to sort out next soring to return
The entire trip was amazing. amazing equipment amazing fish amazing spots. but nothing will beat the captain himself. loaded with knowledge with over 3,000 charters- he ensured no matter what that we had a great experience and that he delievered on exactly what we had PREVIOUSLY spoken about! he communicates before we even went on the trip so that he can know and prepare for what we wanted to do out in the ocean- and he was very straighforwarded and kind on what we should expect and not expect. not enough stars to rate the captain himself 10/10 HIGHLY recommend.
Captain Adam was amazing. he continually kept us on fish. Very professional and friendly, it was apparent of his experience and knowledge. We all caught multiple species of fish and enough for dinner during our weekend stay. We would join Captain Adam again.
Had a great trip with Captain Adam! 100% worth every penny and minute of your time. Caught a variety of fish and a shark. If you want a amazing near-shore or off shore experience then take this charter.
