    Great Time on the Water with Captain Anthony !!

    Half Day Trip (AM) up to 6 People on March 9, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 child

    Captain Anthony and his first mate were awesome. Our group of 5 was my father, myself, my two sons, and my future son-in-law with ages ranging from 68 to 10 years old. Anthony and his first mate were truly amazing. Since we had an extra spot, he even invited a fish and wildlife monitor to join us on the trip and he was measuring and tagging the fish we caught. (We have him to thank for the final fish count as the rest of us were too busy catching fish to keep track). Anthony and his first mate were always ready with new bait each time we came up bare hooked and I never had to take a fish off all day!! We ended up moving to three different spots in our 4 hour trip; we started right off caching white grunts and hog fish at the first place we stopped but once the fishing dried up and we weren't catching them immediately we moved on to a new location where we were catching small grouper, porgy and even some trigger fish in addition to the hogs and grunts. That spot was great until we got "Sharked" by a school of sand sharks that were grabbing anything that we pulled up from the bottom including the biggest grouper of the day where only half of it was left once we got it to the surface of the water. Still even with having to move to find fish and avoid the "S" words we caught over 115 fish in our 4 hour half-day trip and were able to keep over 40 of them which Anthony cleaned and bagged for us right on the dock when we got back to the harbor. Make sure you bring a wind breaker / raincoat with you for the power to and from the fishing spot as the boat moves fast but it does take some time to get 15 miles out from shore. It was a great memory and a great time with two down to earth real guys / dads fishing and doing what they loved. I'd definitely do it again.

    Book with Confidence

    Half Day Trip (PM) Up to 6 People on April 1, 2024 • 5 adults

    Captain Anthony and Mike were extremely helpful and informative. My family does not fish often so their instruction and knowledge of the area made it a fun and successful trip. We did a half day trip and caught enough fish for 3 dinners for a family of five and I have big hungry boys😉 Unfortunately the seas were a little rough on myself and my daughter that day but we hung in there and the boys( ages 18,21,&53) said it was their favorite part of our vacation. We would definitely go back to Figured It Out Charters

    Family of four 6 hour fishing trip

    3/4 Day up to 6 people on March 9, 2024 • 5 adults

    Captain Anthony and First Mate Mike were wonderful guides for our first time fishing the Gulf of Mexico. They put us on fish immediately and kept our lines active all day. We had great success with catching nice keepers of red grouper and hog fish. Anthony filleted the fish and suggested a local restaurant that cooked our fresh catch for us. We had an enjoyable time with a couple of great guys that are committed to providing a wonderful fishing experience for their customers.

    Grouper Galore !!

    Full Day Trip Up to 6 People on May 24, 2024 • 5 adults

    Captain Anthony and his Mate Mike were an excellent crew for a full day fishing trip. We limited out on grouper and caught very large ones. We also caught some large red snapper but unfortunately we were out of season to keep those fish. We also caught land snapper. Captain Anthony then cut and fillet all our fish. We have enough grouper to feed four men, my two brother-in-law‘s and son-in-law, for next week. It was truly a wonderful day!!

    AWESOME 1/2 day with Captn Anthony!!!!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) up to 6 People on March 28, 2022 • 6 adults

    Randomly booked with Belmonte Charters and Captain Anthony. AWESOME experience! I highly recommend booking with Belmonte Charters and Captain Anthony. I will for sure be back next year. I went out with my 2 sons for their first time (14 and 16) and 3 of my friends. From start to finish, it was a great experience. I can't say enough about Captain Anthony and his mate. Great guys....very knowledgeable and helpful. Everyone had active lines all day and had a great time. We booked a morning half day, which was perfect. I'm sure the full day trip is incredible too!

    The BEST day out

    Half Day Trip (PM) Up to 6 People on March 24, 2021 • 5 adults • 2 children

    It was our family of 5 first trip out on a fishing charter. We have 12 yr old twins and a 20yr old. We like to fish back home in freshwater lakes and rivers, but this was nothing like that, lol! From start to finish Captain Anthony was patient, kind and tried so hard to make sure we had fun. If catching was slow he moved to a different spot. Anthony baited all our hooks, and took off the fish. He never got frustrated when bait would get lost off a hook or if we would get hung up on a rock. He had a great sense of humor and is very family oriented. His boat is spacious, clean and safe. No regrets picking this charter!! Thanks Anthony!!!
