We caught 2 sharks. One we could keep and one we released. Our 15 year old fisher caught the keeper and it made his day. Bubba and his girst mate made the trip fun and both were extremely knowledgeable. it was extremely hot, but i would do it again and again with Bubba and his first mate!
Great trip, captain and his son were awesome and knowledgeable. Put us on some fish right away. Caught a sting ray and shark, being on the water was nice and relaxing would recommend.

Captain Bubba is very knowlegable and fun to fish with! Even though I was seasick it was still a memory we wont forget! Highly reccomend!!

It was a slow day fishing for EVERYBODY, but Capn Bubba stuck it out and made sure we went home with sharks!

Took my three boys out with Captain Bubba on the “Shark Hunt”. The shark fishing was a bit slow, but air temps were in the mid-90’s and water temps were around 89 degrees…maybe even a little hot for sharks. We watched other boats fishing for speckled trout, who were probably wiling to do anything to get out of the water themselves. Captain Bubba was great! Interesting and friendly talk to and was great with the boys. The youngest (16) was talking about how he really wanted a hammerhead. Not likely, but not impossible either. We had a couple on the line, but only brought one in (fault of the boys, not the captain - you gotta maintain line tension). He put us on an 8 foot female scalloped hammerhead. It took all three of them twenty minutes to bring her in. What a great experience! Let her go so we can come back and fish again. Can’t say enough about what a great experience we had with Salty Rods. Would highly recommend (as long as you have realistic expectations for what fishing is…there are no guarantees and every captain I’ve ever worked with is as eager, maybe more than you, to get something on your line). If you’re looking for “guarantees”, I suggest high fence hunting instead.

Such a great time! My family went out as a first time experience and we knew it was a hit and miss. You never know what you’ll catch or if you catch anything at all. I got boat sick, but my family had a great time. We caught 2 good size sharks. Our captain was so chilled and answered every question we had. After our trip, he cleaned and cut everything up for us! Worth every penny.
1st trip for my kids and was hoping they could catch something from the salt. Captain knew the kids were inexperienced and got them on bait fish. Once we had what we needed took us out so the boys could catch big stuff. And they did. Oldest and I will book again, youngest enjoyed the boat ride through the big waves more than the fishing, but he a bit young still, another couple years and he'll get it
My husband and son did this trip and loved it. Although they only caught one notable fish, they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. They plan to do another one next year at a time when they will likely be more successful with the catch. This 6-hr trip was very worth it and they had a great time with the crew.
We booked this trip for a graduation gift for our oldest son. The weather had been awful the past few days before our trip, but on the day of it turned out to be fairly nice. Little cooler than we would have liked and windy, but we were determined to make the most of it. Captain Bubba told us the fish hadn’t been biting during his morning trip, but he took us to one of his spots and they proved him wrong!! We came off the water with 14 keeper fish!!! Such a fun trip with a great captain!! He got us to the red drum and made sure both of our boys got to experience reeling them in. We definitely will be back some day!!

Capt. Bubba was great! He made sure we caught. And, what catches!!!! Wow! Thank you! Capt. Bubba, you made the trip one to remember for a grandson leaving for the navy . We recommend this fishing charter company!!! A first class operation!!! Also, the restaurant you recommended Huli Huli Hut was yummy and they fried our fish perfect!!
