Captain Hugh was great!
3 Hour Trip – Trolling on August 1, 20254 adults
We were a family of 4, new to fishing in the gulf. We had a great experience. Captain Hugh went the extra mile in all aspects of our excursion. My boys had a blast catching fish & were in a competition to see who could catch the most. It was fun watching them catch our entire time! Very personable & friendly. I would recommend Captain Hugh!

Fun time!
5 Hour Intro to Bottom Fishing on October 5, 20252 adults3 children
The weather was windy so it limited how far we could go out. We did catch several fish but only on red grouper that we could keep. Captan Ernie and Opie did a great job describing the area and shared lots of fun fishing stories. We were limited to the day that we went out knowing the weather wasn’t ideal but it was still fun and we would do it again.

Hugh and Josie are amazing hosts! Very personable and informative. We were able to see dolphins for the majority of our 2 hour trip, some within 20 ft of the boat. Awesome outfit, would recommend to anyone!
