The captain and you will catch them by spinning on light tackle. Kids are welcome to join the trip, so feel free to bring them along and together have a lovely family outing.

great trip

Half Day Trip – Bay Fishing (AM) on May 26, 2026 • 3 adults

made sure everyone had time reeling and equally catching fish. big ones! takes pictures of your catch. does all the baiting and unhooking. of course he lets you operate at your own experience. pays extra attention to your kids that you’re trying to show a good time- isnt easy these days. we are middle of the road reguarding charter fishing and he can do basic to expert. book with Marvin and you wont be disappointed

Great day out with my boys

2 Hour Trip – Kids Trip (PM) on May 18, 2026 • 1 adult • 2 children

Had a great short notice fishing trip. We were out for a bit over 2 hours and caught some great spotted trout and 2 catfish. The kids loved the fishing and I loved the ease of it. Marvin played music and we enjoyed ourselves throughly. It was just easy. A thing any parent can appreciate. I will definitely book again next year when we visit 30A.

great trip

3 Hour Trip – Inshore on May 1, 2026 • 2 adults

Captain Marvin was great. Boat was well maintained. We caught loads of fish mostly trout, but we did catch some red fish in the back waters first. Captain Marvin is very personable. It felt like hanging out with an old friend doing some fishing. What more could you ask for. highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Marvin.

Caught some nice fish!

Half Day Trip – Bay Fishing (AM) on May 15, 2026 • 3 adults

We had a great day with Captain Glasgow! We caught some very nice speckled trout and redfish! The boat was equipped with a gps guided trolling system which freed up the captain to keep us on the fish. All three of us hooked into some nice ones. I highly recommend Captain Glasgow's charter!

Capt. put us on fish right away. He ran around all different spots when action slowed and extended our trip a little extra bc he saw how much fun my girls were having. An overall great experience!
