We landed some nice snapper and caught several bonito. The captain was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around. we enjoy out trips with guides that are laidback yet professional. They out is on fish and made sure ALL SIX of us were busy and taken care of while we wanted to fish. Three of us were very experienced, two are moderately experienced and one novice. They catered to each of us based on our experience levels. The absolute bedt compliment is that they asked us what we wanted to accomplish that day, and they did their best to make it happen as if it were scripted specifically for us. Top notch gear, experienced and personable captain, AND they listened to what we specifically wanted…cant beat that. as far as we’re concerned, if/when we return to perdido key/pensacola we have our guy from now on! 100% recommend. we had a blast as a family…Lucky 13 helped us create some new memories.
What a great offshore trip. We met Capt. Evan and John at the docks they were super nice and personable they put a game plan together based on what we wanted to fish for, and outlined the trip for us. They were both very informative and worked hard on our 6 hour to find fish and each spot got better and on the last leg we were catching red snapper and vermilion snapper on just about every drop of the line. We couldnt have ask or expected such a great experience. From your friends from Texas we will be back !
We took the 4 hour shark trip. Captain Evan and First Mate John were amazing with our kids!! We first trolled for bait fish, then went to the bay to fish for shark. We had a hit, so my 11 YO son was on it. Then there was another hit, so then my 9 YO daughter worked on that one. Both men jumped into action and did everything they could to coach both kids to get the sharks on board. We got the one on the boat that my daughter got, but unfortunately, my sons got off. We hooked two more and the last one was a hammerhead. They are endangered so we werent able to get it to the boat, but Captain Evan got up top and got a really cool video of my son reeling it in. It finally got off. We were at least able to walk away with some fine tooth shark fillets as well as some Makarel fillets. We will definitely book with them in the future!! Worth every penny!
The kids had an absolute blast! We caught a 5-foot, 150-pound shark along with plenty of red snapper. The captain and crew went above and beyond, making sure we were consistently catching fish the entire trip. They worked hard to keep everyone having a great time, and it definitely showed. I highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for an unforgettable fishing experience
They got us on snapper early and had a blast! Kept the day light and productive and took every chance they had to teach us everything we could possibly want to know! Boat is extremely comfortable and the equipment was fantastic! They had us back on time and did everything they could to keep my wife and I comfortable and on the fish. Will DEFINITELY use them again when I need a fishing charter!
