Great experience. Captain and Crew listened to what we wanted for our fishing experience - and they made sure we got it! Great boat. Loved all the bean bag chairs to lounge in while we headed 30-40 miles off shore. Lots of poles to use - so if one needed to have new hooks put on - we could just grab another pool and be back on the fishing. The little kid pole was a blast. Caught one of the bigger fish on it! Great day on the water. Perfect weather.
It was wonderful meeting you. Thank you for spending the day on the water with us!
Loved our trip with Blue Water Excursions! The crew did a great job of finding the fish and helping us catch them! We caught and kept 170 pounds of fish and released over 50 pounds more including another shark. We caught Cobia, Barracuda, Red Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Black Tipped Shark and a Jack Cravelle. Would definitely recommend this guide service to anyone who wants to have a great time fishing in the Gulf!
Thanks Brian! Enjoyed spending the day out on the water with yall!
Chad and Derek are true professionals! Even with bad weather in the early morning they made the trip unforgettable. They know the spots where fish are and we limited out on snapper in about 1.5 hours of fishing. They were ready for us to catch some different fish but we chose to come in early because of some seasick anglers. Can’t imagjne how many we would’ve caught if we stayed out and can’t reccomend them enough!
Thanks Davis had a good time!
This experience was not great but beyond excellent! Captain Neslson and Derrick were both very nice, friendly, and super helpful since it was our first trip. We caught a king fish and Wahoo as well. That was great, but it was amazing when they help us with the Sand Bar Shark we caught. Struggle was the best experience they let us achieve and fighting it over 45 minutes was priceless.!!!!!!! Definitely booking again with them
Thank you Very much. enjoyed spending the day on the water with yal!
My wife and I took 4 kids and we went out for 8 hours, the kids had such a great time and were begging for the next trip. Captain Nelson and Derek were awesome and very patient with us, they were exceedingly gracious and tried to get us on every fish we could, even let our youngest use his personal small Ugly Stick. It was an amazing trip, we will be going again!!
Thank you so much Greg! We had an awesome time fishing with yall. Cant wait to do it again!!
