    6 hour trip

    3/4 Day Trip – Nearshore on June 17, 2022 • 4 adults

    What a wonderful day! The best fishing trip I have been on! Captain Lynn had us right on fish that gave us a good battle. I have wanted to do that for a long time. Then we were off to catch our limit of red snapper! Then back to the fighters again and again!! Us northerners don't have fishing like this! We had a great time, many laughs and memories made today. Would I come back to fish with Captain Lynn again? That's an easy answer, YES! Thank you for this awesome experience fishing and putting up my gagging over the slimy fish. Glad I could make you laugh too! We will be talking about this trip for a long time. Thank you just doesn't seem like enough!

    Great PM Trip

    4 Hour Red Snapper Trip. on July 20, 2022 • 6 adults • 1 child

    Start off our trip got pushed back two hours cause the rain but it did not affect a thing at all. We got on and off we went and got out bait caught and off to the water and it was little rough out but didn’t slow us down. Deck hand Hayden was awesome and kept lines baited and kept everyone going for us. We got our limit and back to dock we went and they cleaned our catch and was great people we all had a good time and will definitely be back again captain Lynn is awesome. Will book again next year, thanks again

    8 hour trip

    Offshore 8 Hours - Red Snapper on May 20, 2023 • 6 adults

    Caught Amberjack, Banded Rudderfish, Red Snapper, Vermillion Snapper, Triggerfish and a SHARK! Captain and deckhand were fantastic! Just ate some of the catch at Tacky Jacks. Blackened fresh fish can’t be beat. I’m a little tired now. Think I’ll be sore in the morning. Will book again most definitely!

    4 hour snapper trip

    4 Hour Red Snapper Trip. on June 2, 2022 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Did a 4 hour snapper trip today with Captain Lynn. Probably the most kid friendly trip I could have ever imagined. Not only was he a top tier fish finder but he was also entertainment for the kids when they were worn out from catching too many fish. Hayden was an excellent deckhand. Overall this trip was a 10/10, filled with catch limits, we had enough time to do a little shark fishing and some dolphin viewing. Worth every penny.

    8 hour trip

    Offshore 8 Hours - Red Snapper on June 1, 2021 • 6 adults • 1 child

    Captain Lynn was great at putting us on fish. Caught our limit of Snapper in first hour. We then ran from spot to spot looking for vermillion and other species. We caught Red snapper, vermillion, trigger fish, spade fish , mangrove and others I didn’t even know the names. Boat was great for 5 adult males. His deck hand , Hayden, was busy from when we got on boat till we departed. Captain Lynn answered all our questions and was easy going and a lot of fun just visiting with him. We went out little over 15 miles. Definitely recommend Captain Lynn. He is out of Dauphin but agreed to pick us up at Fort Morgan boat launch. My red snapper bucket list trip could not have been any better . Thanks to Captain Lynn . Very satisfied group of guys.

    My son, fiancée and I had a wonderful time with Capt. Lynn and Braxton. We caught over a dozen red snapper and two huge king mackerel. The fight was incredible, and the crew made it a blast. Look no further and schedule with these guys!

Captain Lynn and his first hand, had us limited out on red snapper in the first two hours. There were 6 of us, 4 of which were teenagers and both guys were amazing with them. It was an all around great experience and they had us on fish all day. We got to hook into some amber jack and a black fin shark as well. can't recmmend them enough!!
