We were in fish all morning

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on January 17, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

Had a great trip with Captain Scott! He was knowledgeable about fish, fishing and the area we were fishing in. He was patient with us midwestern fishermen (ages 11 to 78), kept us in fish all morning, and we brought home several meal’s worth of filets to enjoy later. I definitely recommend Captain Scott and will fish with him in the future.

Great trip!

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on August 6, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

The fish were not particularly hungry early in morning on the day we went, but Captain Scott worked hard to ensure we were able to catch plenty of fish by changing locations as needed. He was very knowledgable and kind. He was very family friendly and made sure our boys, 9 & 14, had an awesome time. We saw some dolphins and manatee while we were out. We also had a rainstorm pop up somewhat unexpectedly, and he made sure we all stayed safe.

Hi Sam thanks for the review, glad we were able to get on some decent snapper at the end of the trip so everyone had a hit of a meal to Take back with you! Wish I could have got your group off the boat a bit sooner but that rain came down pretty hard! Hopefully we can fish again in the future take care and safe travels back to Oklahoma!

Great fishing excursion!

Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on December 24, 2025 • 2 adults

Captain Scott did an outstanding job of ensuring we had a great time on the water and that we caught fish. Taking us to less frequently traveled spots, we landed snook and huge sheepshead. Many thanks! Stacey and Jeff from Wisconsin
