We had a great day out on the water - 2 dads and 4 boys, ages 14-16 on a 6-hour offshore trip. The night before our trip, we called to see if we could start our trip an hour earlier, Captain John didn’t have a morning trip booked and told us the bite window we should target and gauranteed we’d catch fish - and he was right! It started the minute we reached the first stop. We caught well over 60 fish - Mingo, Red and Black Snapper, Amberjack, Ruby Red Lips, Remora, and more. We almost hit our limit of Mingo. I’ve been on several charters in the Carolinas, Florida, Costa Rica, and Belize - I can honestly say that this was one of the best! Captain John was great getting and keeping us on the fish…and did a great job coaching our boys on depth, bait, rigs, and even fileting the fish. Highly recommend this trip!
The only complaint I have was nothing Captain John could not control the weather was getting bad so it was rough water. My 8 yr daughter also went and it was her first time. she had a blast and Captain John was great with her also. Definitely will go back put with him again when the water was better...lol!
Had an awesome time with my son, daughter, Captain Glen, and John our deck hand. They were very attentive and helpful to our fishing needs. Put us on some outstanding fishing reefs. We caught our limit on red snapper and only 5 short on mingos (vermillion snapper). Not captains fault, we missed enough to limit everything 😁. Would highly recommend this charter to anyone who wants a good time on the water.
Very good day of fishing. We had to move because of weather but that's par for the course in Florida. Capt. Glenn and mate April got us on good fishing right off . When things slowed, he moved us to other spots that produced, until the dolphin showed up. Dolphins essentially scare off fish so we would do well for a bit but then it would stop. This continued for three spots or so and we couldn't shake him so we decided to call it a day. Capt. Glenn did his best and we still had a good haul. Would recommend this charter.
This trip was nothing short of amazing!! We caught our limit and had a blast! We can’t wait to book again!
