Amazing Family Fishing Adventure with Captain Shane
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 22, 20262 adults2 children

We had an absolutely amazing time deep-sea fishing with Captain Shane in Gulfport! He was fantastic with the kids and kept them engaged, excited, and having fun throughout the entire four-hour trip. We stopped at three different fishing spots, caught more than 20 fish, and were able to bring 15 home! At the end of the trip, Shane cleaned and filleted all of our fish for us, which was such a great bonus. His recently remodeled boat was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable. This was an unforgettable family experience, and we cannot recommend Captain Shane enough. We will definitely book with him again!

Reported catch:
Redfish
Mangrove Snapper

4 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 14, 20263 adults3 children

What an awesome fishing experience! Capt. Shane was great and got us on the fish immediately. We were up in the air on whether to take a 4 or 6hr charter but ended up doing thr 4hr because we had some young anglers with us and were unsure how long they could hang. After our experience with captain Shane, we will be doing the 6hr next time! Shane was great and very informative with the kids and they had a blast! Everyone caught several fish and Shane was very attentive and accommodating. We highly recommend a charter with Captain Shane it is a blast for all ages and his knowledge of the fish and their locations is spot on.

Reported catch:
Spanish Mackerel
Speckled Trout

Excellent Time Fishing
6 Hour Trip – Inshore on July 3, 20262 adults2 children

If you’re looking for an unforgettable day on the water, book with Captain Shane at Nautical Souls Sportfishing—you won’t regret it! We had an absolute blast from the minute we left the dock until we got back. Captain Shane is the real deal. He’s knowledgeable, professional, easygoing, and just plain fun to spend the day with. It felt like we were fishing with an old friend. By the end of the trip, we thought so much of him that we actually invited him to come stay with us if he’s ever up our way!

Reported catch:
Snook
Mangrove Snapper

Amazing fishing trip with Captain Shane!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on June 29, 20265 adults1 child

This fishing trip was the highloight of our trip to Florida! As a mized group of freshwster anglers and newbies, offshore fishing was a new experience for all of us. Captain Shane was a professional throughout, took us to a great location, and gave us lots of pointers to hook ourselves a ton of snapper and mackerel. We even had some competition with a couple of dolphins who kept trying to snag a free lunch!! I’d give this experience and additional star if I could.

Thank you so much, Bryan! It was a blast getting to Fish with you all and meet everyone. That was a pretty epic morning with the dolphin bandit trying to steal all our fish! I can’t wait to do it again!
