6 Hour Trip
Memories made!!!
My son and I went on a 6 hour trip with Captain Alex today and had an absolute blast. We got our limit on Red Snapper, 3 Vermillion Snappers, 3 Mahi Mahi and a bunch of non keepers. I had a sand bar shark for a while but lost him just before getting him to the boat. Also lost many snapper to really big Groupers. Captain Alex is great. Even though we have done this kind of fishing before, my son and I learned all kinds of new fishing techniques. Thanks Alex! We highly recommend Intentional Fishing Charters. We will be back to make more family memories.

Can’t say enough about Capt. Alex and Intentional Fishing. Probably the best trip that we have ever been on!! He put us on fish the entire time and did everything possible to make it enjoyable for the whole family, including fishing with our 5yr old so that way we (parents) could keep our lines in the water to get those massive Red Snapper and Grouper that we caught all day. We will definitely be back to Florida soon, and Intentional Fishing will be our #1 choice of fishing charters here in the Panhandle.

4 Hour Trip (PM)
Absolutely a blast!!!!!
We went out for a four hour trip with Alex. The fishing was a little slow in the first spot or two we tried and Alex decided to take us elsewhere rather than to fool around with little fish stealing our bait. When he found the spot we were in the fish for the rest of the day and had an absolute blast. Alex went above and beyond to be sure that me and my wife and my daughter had the Time of our lives. It was more than just a fishing trip he pointed out different fish and dolphins to us as well. We even got to experience an encounter with a shark trying to steal our fish from the line as we really did in which was an amazing experience. Me and my family are already considering another trip back to Fort Walton Beach based around going fishing with Alex. He is definitely our fishing guide when we are in the area from this point on we would never consider going somewhere else when you make a friend like him. Thanks again Alex from the Ayres family.
