Great Time on the Water with Captain Anthony !!
Half Day Trip (AM) up to 6 People on March 9, 2026 • 4 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.

Mangrove Snapper
Gag Grouper

    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!!

    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

    Took our family of five including 3 teens on this charter. They did not disappoint! The guys were knowledgeable, friendly and so helpful. When we were not catching as much as they hoped, they moved spots. I know catching isn’t guaranteed but this was so fun and we caught plenty!! They even gave us ideas and tips for fish preparation! We would highly recommend them and would book again!
