Donnie and Candace helped make our inshore fishing trip a success. The boat and equipment was amazing. Donnie and Candace were very professional and attentive. The wind was very challenging in the beginning but they were persistent in finding the fish. we ended up going to 3 different locations and hooked up on some good fish. we highly recommend Team Vinson!
Weather was less than ideal. He ended up moving our trip up earlier and taking us out of Ft. Morgan to accommodate us and make sure we still got to go out on a last min trip in before we headed home! Everyone had many bites, quite a few bait snatchers but we were all able to catch at least 2 each. We were able to keep 3 total to have cleaned and bring home to eat. Cant wait to try them! Overall great trip and memories made!
Captain Donnie put us on the Red Snapper immediately. Huge red snappers - so fun to reel em in. Boat is nice and roomy - very pleasant ride. Captain Donnie is very friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. Book this trip!
Captain Donnie and his first mate, Ms. Candace, provided my 14 year old son, my father-in-law and I a most excellent fishing experience! We went to multiple locations, caught a half dozen different varieties of fish, the highlight of which was a school of black tipped sharks that we caught faster than we could get a net on! The communication was great, the coordination of the pick up spot was easy, so all in all it was a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend booking with them, and we definitely will be the next time we make it down to the Gulf Shores and are looking for a charter!
Thanks guys greatly appreciate it . Great family time wacking on fish .looking forward to next time thanks Capt Donnie
Captain Donnie and Crew were very personal and professional every step of the way. Communication was great before and during the trip. Nice, clean, and well supplied boat. My wife and I are not seasoned Anglers but enjoy fishing when we get the chance, so captain and crew were patient with explaining basic skills and making sure we were safe and comfortable. And they allowed us to cast, hold, and reel in what was caught. The weather wasn’t perfect but captain and crew managed to make it an enjoyable day of fishing.
