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 was our second time out with these guys. My family and I come here once a year since my kids were very young. We went fishing with these guys last year and this year. We will be scheduling a trip with them everytime we come down here. It is a great time. Very accommodating. Awesome experience each time. Thanks guy!!!
Thank you guys for coming out again! Looking forward to next year's trip already!
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!
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!
We had a good time, Captain Nelson and first nate Derrick worked hard to make us comfortable and get us on fish. the bite was slow but were able to limit out on red snapper quickly after finding them. 10/10 i recommend these folks.
Thank yall for coming out! Hope we get a chance to do it again sometime.
