Weather did not cooperate but that did not stop us from getting to the patch reefs and catching a box of Snapper, Yellow Tail, and others. Capt Johnson was super attentive, making sure we were on the fish and doing the right things to land 'em. Boat was a comfortable twin hull design so even in the rough water it was manageable. Good Penn tackle allowed us to muscle up the fish from the bottom quickly. We cut the trip short due to the rain and wind, but that was Mother Nature, not the Capt. Good solid ride, good gear, and he knew the area - where to get bait quickly, get to the reefs and find the snapper hiding in the depths. Leaves out of Robbie's Marina, and they can cook your catch when you are done or you can relax and enjoy the scenery. Will hit Go Time up again next trip! Thanks Capt!
Thank you very much for the great review! It was a great trip despite the weather! I appreciate ya'll and really had fun fishing with you! I hope to see you all again soon!
We had a wonderful day on the water with captain Gaylon. He put us on the fish right from the start and we caught our limit! Tuna and Skip Jack were plentiful. Gaylon was professional, knowledgeable of the water ways and very friendly. We will definitely be going back out with him and would recommend him to everyone!
thank you so much! i had a great time with yall! hope to see you again soon!
We had an amazing day out on the water with Capt. Johnson. We caught our limit on Black Fin Tuna. He was a great captain who is very knowledgeable of the area. He was super helpful at coaching up my kids and helping them each catch some fish. Would highly recommend.
Thank you very much for the great review! I had a blast fishing with y’all and I really hope I get to fish with you again. 
Had an absolute blast on the trip with Captain Galon… It was my son and I and not only did we catch fish, but he was awesome to fish and hang out with… if you’re looking for a charter where the captain of the boat makes you feel comfortable and he really enjoys fishing and helping you catch different types of fish with different fishing techniques, then he is the one to use. Would highly recommend !!!
Thank you so much for your review, i truly appreciate it! it was a great day on the water with yall! I enjoyed fishing with you two!
my husband and I are in our mid 60s and had the most amazing experience with Captain Galen. The location was easy to find. He was so kind and patient with us. We had been deep sea fishing before, but this time we tried ref fishing and caught a ton of fish, edible and some good sport fish. When we got back to the dock captain took pictures of us with our catch and then filets and bagged the on the ice and we were able to take to a local restaurant for lunch. p.s. don’t bring bananas on the boat. restaurant and enjoy for lunch
thank you so much for a great trip! i had a fantastic day with yall and made some great memories on the water. thank you again!
