2 Hour Shark Charter(1pm)
Awesome Day of Shark Fishing with Captain Justin
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.

Caught some sharks!
We 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!

Reds must like Skeeters!
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!

Great captain and experience, 10/10 would recommend
Can’t say enough good things about captain Justin. Great dude who has been fishing these waters his whole life and brings a wealth of experience and fun to the charter. Got on some nice trout to start the afternoon, and finished a bit inland to the redfish honey hole. Super knowledgeable, a hard worker, and not to mention great jokes! The area was beautiful and boat was great. Will definitely be going in the future again!

We had a great time with Justin out on the water. It ended up being a slow day for fishing, but it certainly wasn’t for lack of effort. Justin moved us to different spots and worked hard to get us on fish. Even though we didn’t have great luck, we still had a lot of fun and would absolutely go out with him again.
