Solid PM fishing trip
3 Hour Trip – Inshore/Bay - 1:00 PM on June 23, 20262 adults1 child

Enjoyed a great trip out on the water and caught a ton of fish with Ryan. Slight change in plans ended up having us meet him closer to PCB but well worth the extra 15 min drive for non stop action. Took it nice and slow for my 2yr old but that didn't slow us down. Came home with a bag full of trout and enjoyed several hrs on the water. Highly recommend for any families/anglers looking for time on the water with someone who knows these waters better than anyone. 5+ stars.

3 Hour Trip – Inshore/Bay on September 2, 20254 adults

5 Stars in all categories! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Captain Ryan of 30A Shallow Water Guide Service was great. He was communicative throughout the booking and very knowledgeable of the local Bay and surrounding backwaters. He was very friendly and attentive to our family of 4, keeping the lines baited and in the water. Spanish mackeral was the fish of the day for us and there were plenty to be had. Pickup and drop off were seamless, and we went home with a nice bag of cleaned fish for tacos. Our family had a blast and wouldn’t even bother looking around for any other charter the next time we are looking to book a trip!

Captain Ryan is awesome
2 Hour Trip – Kids on July 31, 20253 adults3 children

Two adults took four kids out with Captain Ryan. He took is right out to a hot spot and we had some fish on within five minutes. Yes, we got lucky with some good fishing but he knew right where to go in West Bay. He also managed to keep all six of our hooks with fresh live bait and out in the water without overlapping too much, a tough thing to do with the wind. We had a lady fish on at one point, tangling us all up in knots but he was able to get us back in action in a few minutes. Great trip, everything worked well, highly recommend!
