Big Als Inshore Charter Service 

This was my third time fishing Mosquito Lagoon and the Indian River. First time with Big Al. It was a great trip. The fishing was perfect for kids and we got to see several species including mangrove snapper, sheepshead, black drum, and trout. We also caught some pufferfish and rays which was awesome for the kids to see. At the end of the trip we caught a very large red drum. We also got photos of dolphins. The captain was great with kids, his language was clean and he was very family friendly. All around a great day on the water.

This 3-hour fishing trip was supposed to be about relaxing, but the fish clearly didn’t get the memo. The kids were reeling them in nonstop, including a huge redfish, a puffer fish that looked permanently surprised, and several other species that apparently wanted to be part of the adventure. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, dolphins showed up to inspect our fishing skills, and manatees cruised by like they owned the place. The kids had a blast, the adults had a blast, and even the fish seemed to enjoy the attention. If you’re looking for a family fishing trip filled with action, wildlife, and enough fish stories to last until next vacation, this is it. Highly recommend!

Big Al was fantastic—exactly what you hope for on a family fishing trip. He was incredible with our kids, kept them engaged the entire time, and made sure everyone was having fun from start to finish. We had nonstop action and were catching fish the whole trip—probably around 10 each—which was perfect for keeping the kids excited. We caught a great variety including whiting, pinfish, and jacks, plus even a stingray and a blue crab, which the kids thought was awesome. On top of the fishing, we also saw manatees and jumping rays, which made the whole experience even more memorable. Big Al was also just really fun to be around—easy to talk to, entertaining, and clearly knows exactly what he’s doing out there. Highly recommend Big Al, especially for families with kids. We’d absolutely book with him again. Thanks Al, we will see you next year!

My family had an awesome experience. Big Al had interesting facts about the ar a to share with us. He also made sure we didn't miss any of the wild life around us. He stayed in touch with us before the trip. Highly recommend Big Al.

We had a great time! Captain Al was great with the kids and keeping them cool. He educated us a lot on the fish. We caught lots of fish and had the best time. It’s a trip my 11 year old won’t forget! Highly recommend!

Captain was fantastic, he put us on the fish all day. I lost count of the amount of fish we caught, a minimum of 20. I think it was more like 30. No exaggeration. We had two shark strikes which were the highlight of the trip. Al knows his business, I couldn't imagine a better day out. I would definitely book again to fish these waters.

Big Al was great!! Put us on some fish right away and even caught a couple sharks…which was awesome!!! Big Al was very knowledgeable about the water and was very helpful and attentive to us on the boat that werent very experienced fishermen!!

Awesome Experience. I was running late due to car issues and it was my son’s 14th birthday, so this trip had to happen! Big Al waited quite a while for us to arrive. Al is native to the area and was very knowlegable! Told great stories that had my kids engaged 6&14! Thank you Al I had to leave with the military the next day, so you made his birthday catching that shark 🦈

Took my 10yo boy and four of his friends out with Big Al. He was fantastic with the kids and we caught over 25 fish in two hours. I will book again with Big Al and recommend him to anyone.

This was our fourth trip with Big Al and it was a great trip. We caught lots of fish. Several members of our party were very young and Big Al took care of them. They all caught a lot of fish.
