Austin Jenkins5.0VerifiedAwesome Trip!
3 Hour Inshore Fishing(PM) - 2:00 PM on April 25, 2026 • 3 adultsI went with a friend of mine, and greatly enjoyed it. The captain is an awesome dude, very interactive, cracking jokes and made the slow moments go bye faster. It was pretty informative too, he made sure to tell us what we were doing and why, aswell as tips about the fishing itself. We caught about 5 fish total, it was a slower day but honestly I wouldve enjoyed the trip had we caught nothing. Overall I'm incredibly happy with the trip and will be booking more trips in the future. Would highly recomend Captain Justin.
Edward VasquezRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat experience.
3 Hour Inshore Fishing(AM) - 11:00 AM on April 25, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childThe Captain was super friendly. He took care of us from start to finish. He took the time to give my 12 year old son tips and teach him technique. I'd recommend him for any family.
Denise Muth5.0VerifiedGreat trip with the kids!

*WINTER SPECIAL* 4 Hr. Inshore (AM) on February 28, 2026 • 2 adultsCapt. Justin is a knowledgeable fisherman who will make sure you get some fish in the boat. He busted his A** and went to great lengths to make sure we had a good experience all while telling memorable stories. The bite was slow but he got the job done. Thanks Justin!!

Taylor Hart5.0VerifiedAwesome Day of Shark Fishing with Captain Justin
2 Hour Shark Fishing (PM) on June 22, 2025 • 2 adultsHad 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.
Kevin HarrellRepeat angler5.0VerifiedReds must like Skeeters!
4 Hour Inshore Fishing(AM) on July 3, 2025 • 2 adultsCaptain 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!
Trevor ZimmerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedCaught some sharks!
3 Hour Shark Fishing - 8:00 AM on July 24, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 childWe caught some sharks! Trip had to be rescheduled for later in week. We set out from public pier and had to find some bait fish. After a few attempts found the fish. Then went to shark location and after after a few minutes caught some sharks. Captain helped us prepare some for cooking at local restaurant. My son and I had a great time and would book again!

Thank you so much for the kind words Austin. I tell folks all the time, that there's a lot more to being a fishing guide than just catching fish. I'm glad to hear that I was able to provide you guys with an enjoyable experience despite the tough bite. We'll get them next time, no doubt! In the meantime, keep those lines tight and stay Salty my friend! Thanks again for choosing Salty Habit Charters!!
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!
Captain Justin is as real as it gets and very experienced, he got us on some fish and even took us along to catch bait, even though it was a slow day it was great still got on some trout and reds. Fun experience!
This review is as real as it gets Drake and I really appreciate it! I'm really looking forward to getting you guys back on the water! In the meantime, keep those lines tight and stay Salty my friend! Thanks again for choosing Salty Habit Charters!!🤙🏻

Really enjoyed the positive attitude and accommodating spirit of the captain. Didn’t get as many fish as we wanted, but I’d still call the trip a success.
I really appreciate the review Michael. I do apologize for the slow bite, but we'll get them next time! In the meantime, keep those lines tight and stay Salty my friend! Thanks again for choosing Salty Habit Charters!🤙🏻
