Great charter
4 Hour Trip – Trolling Summer on October 9, 20256 adults

booked for a 4 hour trolling charter deckhand wasted no time getting the bait in the water and getting new bait on the hook promptly after the fish was in the cooler and even tho it was a slow morning the captain kept us on the fish you could tell he had alot of experience as the other boats were not catching anything thanks for helping me give my son and family a great experience. spend the little extra money on this charter I believe the captain’s experience in fishing is worth it

Memories for a lifetime
6 Hour Trip – Spring (AM) on May 25, 20234 adults

My wife and I booked a 6 hour trip with Cpt Black's to create a great memory for our 3 sons ages 18, 20, and 22. They delivered with flying colors! Cpt Jeremy and Clay took us out and delivered a day of wonderful fun. We didn't catch a ton of fish that day because that's how fishing goes sometimes but those guys worked incredibly hard the whole time to try to put us on them and we did catch a few big ones. But the highlight of the day was that Clay told us early on that he was going to help us catch a big shark and he worked on that all day non stop every where we fished. And eventually he did! We hooked a giant (well we thought it was giant) 6-7 foot shark and we even have the pictures for proof. If fought so hard everyone got to reel it in some. What a wonderful memory. We have a lot of vacation memories but this is definitely #1. Highly recommended!!!

What a day!!!
6 Hour Trip – Summer (12PM) on July 12, 20233 adults

So originally booked cheaper and shorter trip for myself and two boys 20/18. Within ten minutes of booking I received a phone call from Captain Black with the warning that conditions would not be great and I should consider a longer deeper trip. Great feedback, trip we initially scheduled caught zero…we caught 13 red snappers and one 8 foot shark which we released. Boat was great, Clay was great and so was the boat captain. Captain Black’s sage advice allowed for a very memorable adventure. Highly recommend!!!!

Make sure all equipment are working prior to your actual fishing date
8 Hour Trip – Reef Fishing Summer on June 7, 20246 adults

The Captain and deck hand are amazing. They put us in the fish and we had a really good time out of the mechanical issues we experienced. Make sure to reach out to the captain a week out from your booking date and ensure all equipment are in working order if not get ready for a really hot fishing day and slow travels in between getting there and coming back.

I began fishing at the age of 4. My parents were avid anglers and took me to the water every day during the summer months. My older sister also took me fishing, as I was a total addict. I have always had an appreciation for the experience of fishing and being there either alone or with people I wish to share my passion with. I have fished this area for 48 years and it has been a pure joy because you never know what is going to swim up to you. I would love to share my experience and help you make some memories with your family and friends. I always strive to treat each trip as though I were taking my friends and family fishing.
