Captain Big Fish 

If you're looking to book a fishing charter, I truly don't think you could land on a better captain than Captain Monty Childers. Captain Monty and his 2015 Grady-White Express delivered one of the best charter experiences I've ever had—and I've been on several offshore trips. From the moment we stepped aboard, Monty and his mate went above and beyond to make sure our entire group was comfortable and having a great time. They even brought bean bag chairs so the ladies in our group could relax and enjoy the ride. What impressed me most, though, was how Captain Monty handled an unexpected situation. When one member of our group wasn't feeling up to making the trek offshore, Monty immediately put their well-being first. He made sure they had water, a cool towel, and someone to talk to while helping ease their nerves. At the same time, he completely pivoted our original plans and put together an awesome nearshore trip for the rest of us who were still hoping to catch a big one. That ability to adapt on the fly while still making sure every person in our group was taken care of says everything you need to know about the kind of captain he is. And the fishing was only part of what made the day so memorable. Monty entertained our entire group from start to finish. He told stories, joked around with us, and had all four of us laughing our asses off for hours. By the end of the trip, it felt less like we'd hired a charter captain and more like we'd spent the day fishing with someone we'd known for years. I can confidently speak for our entire group when I say we could not have been happier with the experience Captain Monty gave us. Between his professionalism, hospitality, personality, and ability to completely adapt the trip to our group, he turned what could have been a difficult situation into an unforgettable day on the water. For the experience we had that day, I genuinely would have been happy paying double what the trip cost. Captain Monty and the experience he created were worth every penny and then some. We will absolutely fish with him again. If you're considering booking a charter with Captain Monty Childers, do it. You won't regret it.

We had an amazing time on this charter! The fishing was incredible—we caught at least 20–25 Spanish mackerel, and there was almost always a rod bent. Monty kept us on the fish all morning and made the trip fun, entertaining, and enjoyable for everyone on board. Alex was outstanding—friendly, hardworking, and always there to help with baiting hooks, landing fish, and making sure everyone had a great experience. If you’re looking for a charter with an experienced crew, lots of action, and a fun atmosphere, this is the one to book. We made great memories and can’t wait to come back for another trip. Highly recommend!

Captain Monty is a great captain…tons of knowledge and his love for fishing is contagious. The boat will be rockin’ (musically) and the fish will be floppin’ (on the deck) on a trip with Captain Monty. Capt put us on a barracuda and my 13 year old brought it in like a champ, all while being coached by Capt. After our barracuda hunt we did some bottom fishing and all the kids caught multiple fish in a 45 minute window. If you’re looking for a sure bet for catching fish Captain Monty is your man! PS - Captain Monty lent us a fillet knife because I mentioned needing a knife to do some pre-cook butchering to de-bone some fish. That’s a whole other level of cool. That’s actually a good description of Captain Monty…cool.

We had an amazing time on our fishing charter! Captain Monty was knowledgeable, helpful, and funny! He kept us entertained the entire trip. His deck hand Ashton did great helping as well! We weren’t able to catch the massive barracuda, but we were able to catch plenty of Spanish mackerel to take home and cook for dinner. Such a fun and memorable trip. We would absolutely recommend Captain Monty to anyone looking for a great day out on the water!

My husband and I were hoping for an adventure to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and Captain Monty and Ashton did not disappoint! We had a great catching bait and managed to pull in two barracuda! it was everything we were going for. Cheers + thank you for the amazing memories!

Great experience with Captain Monty and Ashton. They were knowledgeable, attentive, and FUN! We caught plenty of fish for dinner and had a beautiful day on the water. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a fun and productive day!

We went for our son’s birthday and Captain Monty did not disappoint! He is very knowledgeable and is great with kids!! I can’t wait to go back, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fishing charter.
