    Outstanding Trip!

    Half Day Trip on May 22, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain John was awesome. We had a great trip and caught all kinds of fish, snook, trout, ladyfish, and even a shark. He knew exactly where to go and kept us on fish the whole time. Super easygoing guy and made the trip a good time all around. Definitely a 10/10 trip and I’d recommend him to anybody looking to get out and catch fish.

    Great Trip

    Half day trip on April 23, 2026 • 2 adults

    My wife and I love to fish and Capt. Reid helped fulfill that passion. He had to work hard but his knowledge of the area and what fish were moving was evident. He put us on some nice snooke and red fish. He was punctual and has the right set up, boat,gear etc. We would definitely go again.

    What a Great Time!

    Half Day Trip on June 24, 2021 • 4 adults

    Our family had the best day with Capt Tom, he went above & beyond to ensure we all had the best fishing experience. He took time with our grandson & his friend to give lots of instruction & advice. He ensured everyone was going to have a great time and catch fish. Couldn't ask for a more professional, wonderful trip. Capt Tom is a 10 plus star.

    Good trip with a hard working captain

    Half Day Trip on April 17, 2026 • 2 adults

    The fish were not the most cooperative that morning but Capt. John went the extra mile for us. We fished in five areas with 4 different rigs. We had plenty of bait, the equipment was great and the boat was well set up. We didn’t catch a great number of fish be we Vought a good variety, snapper, sea trout, snook, redfish. Capt John went all out to make sure we had a great trip. Thank you so much!
