Great Day
3 Hour Inshore Fishing(AM) on April 1, 2026 • 4 adults
We had a great day out with Captain Justin. He was patient with our teenage boys and did a nice job teaching and guiding them throughout the trip.
We caught a mix of redfish, trout, and a flounder, and he kept us on fish most of the time. He was easy to talk to and made for a relaxed, enjoyable experience on the water.
Overall, a really solid trip and a good choice for families.

What an incredible review! Thank you, Alex. I gotta say, there wasn't any patience needed today, my friend. (except perhaps with the fish, lol) Both those young men were polite, patient, and followed instructions very well. Not to mention they CAN FISH! It was an absolute pleasure having you guys on board today and are welcome on my boat anytime! I can't wait to see how well those guys do next time, when the fish are actually cooperating!! In the meantime, keep those lines tight and stay Salty my friend. Thanks again for choosing Salty Habit Charters!

Awesome Day of Shark Fishing with Captain Justin
2 Hour Shark Fishing (PM) on June 22, 2025 • 2 adults
Had an amazing time out on the water and caught more sharks than I ever expected. The action started pretty quickly and didn’t let up, definitely one of the best fishing days I’ve had.
Captain Justin was excellent. Super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and made sure everyone knew what they were doing. He explained things clearly and had great insight into where to go and what to use. You can tell he really knows his stuff and genuinely wants people to have a great time.
The whole trip felt smooth and well-run. If you’re looking to hook into some serious fish and learn a bit while you’re at it, I’d definitely recommend going out with Justin. Great experience all around.

Reds must like Skeeters!
4 Hour Inshore Fishing on July 3, 2025 • 2 adults
Captain Griffin has a wonderful boat, gear , and attitude to make anyone's fishing trip sucessful! Even if we had caught no fish, the day would have been completely sucessful. Sharing a day with a very nice, knowledgeable, and competent guide on the water is really all you can ask. With that said, 2- Reds over 40 inches, several more too big to eat, only hurt my belly and not my pride! My son and I had a wonderful morning to make a lasting memory! Thanks, Captain Griffin!
