Reel Fun with Captain Pat, Kids Loved Every Minute!
2 Hour Trip — Off Season (AM) on December 28, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

We had an amazing charter fishing trip with Captain Pat! From start to finish, it was a fantastic experience—especially for the kids. They had an absolute blast and caught tons of red snapper and triggerfish. The trip duration was perfect for keeping the kids engaged without getting tired or bored. Captain Pat was an excellent guide and an even better host. He did a great job explaining everything, keeping things fun, and honestly did all the hard work—keeping hooks baited, lines ready, and making sure everyone was successful. We could just relax and enjoy the experience while the kids felt like real anglers. Highly recommend Captain Pat for families or anyone looking for a fun, successful, and stress-free fishing trip. We’d absolutely book again!

2 Hour Trip — Fishing till Sunset on April 29, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

Pat was very accommodating and flexible with our group. We initially thought we were going to the Gulf but it was pretty choppy so we decided to stay on calmer waters. He put us on fish immediately and at one point all 3 of us had fish on our lines at the same time. Highly recommend booking with Pat!

Great Afternoon
2 Hour Trip on December 31, 2025 • 4 adults

my friends and I had a great time. Our original date was extremely cold, so he worked with us to change it to a more comfortable date. He moved us around to some really good spots where we caught 16 finish in 2 hours. Overall, great experience.

Nice trip but fish were few and far
3 Hour Trip — Combo on March 13, 2026 • 3 adults

The captain was great. We had a pleasant trip but we didn't have luck catching fish. We went to a populated spot but nothing seeme to be hitting. We moved to another location where the fish were biting for a while but they were small Pin fish. Sadly we didn't catch any dinner but we enjoyed our time on the water. The captain was very patient baiting our hooks and getting us unstuck from whatever laid beneath the water. We did get to see dolphins on our way back too. Yay.

    Nice boat, clean and fast to the fish. Pat kept the bait rolling. The offshore was a bit slow, but inlet area was awesome. We caught 5 species including some really large sheephead and lost a really nice bull redfish close to the boat.

    We had a great time! Didn’t catch any keepers but that wasn’t our top priority. My son loves fishing and i wanted him to catch fish he’s never seen before as we live on the Great Lakes. Capt. Pat was great with my kids and helped them find fish. They ended up fishing all 4 hours when I expected them to get bored after an hour or two. We ended the trip with a pod of dolphins swimming 20’ from the boat. Kids loved it and I’m a happy Dad!
