Mixed trip huge redfish&cooler fish
Capt. Bill knows how to make it fun!
This was our first booking on this website. We booked the mixed cooler fish trip and Capt. Bill definitely got us some cooler fish to take home to eat! Even though the weather and other factors made the fish a lot more sparse than normal (high winds made choppy waters, and an abnormally high tides made for VERY abnormally muddy water) Capt Bill still got our lines hooked on some shark, trout, and spanish mackerel! We had a blast hanging out, talking and latching with Capt Bill, and catching lots of nice sun, breeze, and fish! Since the haul wasnt as he expected (again, because of external factors from the elements), Bill even offered to make it up to us another time and really get us the haul we were hoping for. We had a blast and cant wait to book with him again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Unforgettable Day on the Water with Captain Bill and Captain Maggie!
We had an absolutely incredible fishing trip today with Captain Bill and Captain Maggie. From start to finish, everything about the experience was top‑notch. We caught several sharks and had nonstop action and fun, but what really made the day stand out was the personal touch and genuine care they showed throughout the trip. Captain Bill went above and beyond, especially with my son. He took the time to explain so much about the area, the different fish species, and even shared tips and stories that made the day not only exciting but educational. Watching my son light up as he learned and reeled in sharks is something I’ll remember forever. Captain Maggie was equally fantastic—professional, friendly, and always making sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. Their teamwork, knowledge, and passion for what they do truly shine through. If you’re looking for a fishing trip that delivers both great catches and great memories, look no further. Thank you, Captain Bill and Captain Maggie, for giving us a day we’ll be talking about for years to come! 🎣👏

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM)
We had a blast
We aren’t from the area and Captain Bill and Captain Maggie were so helpful in answering all the questions we had from fish, to weather, to different animals in the area, and even local myths. It was a great experience on the boat and was able to catch the biggest fish I have ever caught. The sun was shining, the dolphins and turtles were out, and the conversation was good. I would definitely come back to fish with these guides again! We had a blast!

Fantasitc Day on the Water
Captain Bill and Captain Maggie know exactly where the fish are! Both of them were patient with us and helped us to catch the fish! They listened to what type of fish we wanted to try to catch and we were able to catch them. Both Bill and Maggie are very friendly and we enjoyed the conversation! It was great to be out on the water, have fun and bring home some fish. I hope we are able to hook them in the future. Had a great day!
