Went out with Justin on 4/10 and he was very helpful with baiting the hook, casting to where we hoped the fish were, and general knowledge. He had great patience no matter how many shrimp flew off the hook. We were only able to bring in one red drum but had a great morning. They were also mindful of weather and reached out to reschedule when the waves were going to be rough on our original day.

Super easy boat access, and a friendly marina. Captain Charlie was very knowledgeable and his other boat captains are great too! We really enjoyed the trip and caught a couple goodsized sheepshead and redfish. We would recommend Southern Sun Magic for any level-family trips, beginners or more seasoned fishers. Thanks for a great afternoon, Charlie!

Catchy title right?! There’s a hilarious story to accompany it! We got out headed up the intercostal waterway & stopped to fish around some docks, it was stormy a little earlier & fishing is just unpredictable at best! Capt Gil kept our hooks baited (hubby said he thinks he lost his man card, he’s never had anyone keep him baited up!) & we were getting some catfish & good hits. At our 2nd dock stop I caught a ray! He said that it was VERY rare to catch one that far north & we returned it to the water. We piddled around here & there & caught a few more trash fish. Hubby caught a couple black drums by now. He decided to check another spot & off we went. I had water & snacks packed as one would expect on a fishing trip. I pulled out my banana & got it peeled & LITERALLY had my mouth opened to take a bite. Our boat came to a FULL STOP & he said, “ma’am I’m sorry but you’re gonna have to toss that over & I’m not even joking” & my flabbers were GHASTED. Like “he has a banana allergy? Are the peels toxic to fish? What is going on?!” He told us the ‘mariners tale’ about boating & bananas & he had us pull alongside the other captain & just hold up my banana & the captain just looked & let out a half laugh & said “how many yall got?” Our captain answered back “2.” The other captain said, “would’ve had 10”. I was too tickled. We went to find another honey hole & caught a 19” red drum & 2 of the biggest “trash fish” he’s ever seen in his life. Like he took pics & was showing them to several others at the docks! We wound up with 3 fish in total. The red drum & 2 black drum. He also recommended a local restaurant that would cook out catch & we decided to go & I am so glad we did!! They had some of the best hush puppies & homemade tartar sauce I’ve ever had! The fish they cooked for us was delicious as well!!! All in all, it was a great day & I 100% will use them again for charter fishing when we are in the area!!!! If I had to give “stars” it would be 4.9 out of 5 bc my banana was smelling so good & I wanted to take a bite haha! 😆

Fishing with Captain Charlie was great. He put us on fish and tailored the trip to what we wanted to catch. I really wanted to catch a Bull Red and Captain Charlie put us in a spot to do just that. we had a blast.

Brought my 7 year old grandson, who caught the most fish with a little help from captain Charlie lol, my son and son in law. We caught some nice sheepshead and it was a blast! Definitely booking next year again!!
