Jeff Aiken5.0VerifiedBest day ever!!!
6 Hour Morning on January 13, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 childrenCaptain Craig and his First Mate Brayden (I’m sorry if I spelled that wrong) were absolutely amazing! I caught a big sheepshead within minutes of hitting our first spot. They kept us on the fish all day. My 11, 9, and 6 year old had an incredible day. Not one argument or complaint for 6 full hours. We caught over 50 fish. Due to the time of year, it was cold in the morning and Captain Craig was amazingly flexible and let us push back our departure time so it would be warmer. This was one of the most memorable trips we’ve ever taken. We will definitely fish with Captain Craig again!
Jayda Guidry5.0VerifiedGreat Trip
3 Hour Shark Fishing Afternoon on July 16, 2026 • 2 adultsWe originally had the shark fishing planned but Captain Craig said the water looked too nice to not go out and catch some eaters. We did plan on going back to catch some shark but some bad weather started to blow in very quickly. We end up catching and keeping 6 blue fish that we had cooked up at Hudson’s Restaurant. Great day all around. Captain Craig is very knowledgeable and kind. Would definitely recommend!
Thomas Fiske5.0VerifiedGreat experience with Captain Craig
3 Hour Shark Fishing Evening on August 6, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 childrenCaptain Craig was very friendly and knowledgeable. He made a bunch of city boys like us feel welcomed and comfortable. He knew how to keep everyone involved and having fun. He was great with teenagers and kept them engaged. We ended up catching a 5 foot sandbar shark and a 41 inch Bull Red Drum Fish which were the highlights of the excursion.
Thomas Robison5.0VerifiedVery successful trip!
5 Hour Morning on September 22, 2026 • 5 adultsHad a great time with Captain Craig. Put us on fish in about 30 minutes after leaving. Kept 10 Black Drum, 5 Flounder, 1 Sheepshead and 2 Redfish. caught probably 30 fish in about an hour and a half. Great dude, good equipment, even better personality. Will book with him again and will recommend to any and everyone.
