Let me tell you Seth is 100% the most patient tour guide. First I accidentally booked the wrong day, let him know, boom changed. Then we got there, my four girls and I….no fishing experience he taught us. I got seasick, no problem, he keeps helping my 8 and 9 year old keep catch fish. When the second round started to hit me an hour and a half into the trip, he got us off the open water and back closer to shore to take us on a little tour and head to a great trolling spot. He absolutely dealt with 2 moody teenagers, super excited little fishers and a very embarrassed retired Sailor….ships and boats are very different abd saved our trip. 10 out of 10 totally recommend!!!!!
The thing that impressed us was that he said a prayer before pulling out of the slip at the harbor. My wife and I enjoyed the afternoon fishing with Seth. We were in Destin celebrating our 42nd anniversary and catching some fish and a relaxing time on the water was great for both of us. We got a bunch of Spanish mackerel and a big 25 lb jack cravell gave me a work out. We trolled for Kings but they weren't there. He found them the next day and brought me some filets to take home because the clients didn't want them. He had live bait and lures and we caught fish on both. The boat is stable and comfortable and the gear is good. We'll be back!
Our 10yr old is getting into fishing so he was thrilled to go out in open waters to catch anything bigger than lake panfish. Capt.Seth was great...made everyone feel at ease, answered all our questions and did all the hard work so all we had to do was drop and reel in the line. Our 10yr old loved seeing the trigger fish his big bro caught....biggest fish he's seen on a line. We all started to feel the waters movement though and Capt. Seth accommodated... turned towards shore but set up trolling lines to maybe catch more. The vermillion snappers we brought home were delicious...wish we had more than two. Overall a great experience and would do it again. Thank you Seth.
Captian Seth had us on the water and catching fish. we caught all our target species and he did help as best he could on the few that got sea sick on the way off shore. the water was rough and did offer to take us back later on but we decided to push on in 10-15 foot waves. he had us on fish all day and made our day with the catch! When we get bwck down we will absolutely book agon with Captain Seth!
We’ve done a few different fishing charters over the years, this was definitely the best! Captain Seth went above and beyond to make sure we got everything we wanted out of our fishing experience. We came home with 20 fish! We would absolutely book with Seth again in the future.
My family and I booked this charter while visiting Destin on vacation. We had an amazing time catching red snapper, red grouper, vermillion, white snapper and bonito. The captain knew exactly where to take us and we fished until our arms were about to fall off. Great time all around!
We overcame some adverse weather at the beginning, but turned out to be a great day caught about 20 to 30 fish but kept about 10, they had a bathroom if you needed it hand several times th e Captain was driving the boat and fishing at the same time to help us have a better chance
Captain Seth was fantastic. Even with choppy waters and threatening weather he found a way to provide a fantastic experience for our family. We caught lots of fish and kept our time exciting. Would love to do another High Cotton Charter again!
This was most of our first time offshore fishing and we had an amazing experience. Caught 58 fish and Capitan Seth was very knowledgeable and personable. We are already talking about our next trip.
Great trip visiting home and taking family out fishing. Getting snapper is always good, but getting a Cobia and almost landing a 10 foot shark made it excellent. many thanks to Captain Seth for everything.
