Awesome…as always
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on July 29, 20262 adults

This was our third trip with Aaron and just like the other two, this was a very good trip. We started off a little slow, but Aaron kept working the area we were at and moving the boat and we started catching some nice fish and when it was all said and done we brought home a lot of fish. Aaron is an awesome guy who works hard at getting you on fish, we plan on going again next time we come down for vacation. Give him a try, it’ll be worth it.

Best fishing experience I’ve experienced
8 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 11, 20265 adults1 child

This makes the 5th private charter that I’ve been on, and it far exceeded the others. The captain is very knowledgeable and a master of his trade. We had a party of six, and he kept us baited, fishing, and having fun. He was very respectful and made sure all of my party had the best time. I would recommend him 10/10 and will be booking a trip for next year. He was very nice and patient with my family as well

Reported catch:
Great Barracuda
Amberjack

Great time!!
4hr inshore afternoon trip. on July 1, 20263 adults1 child

Captain Aaron communicated well and although we weren’t able to go offshore fishing like we had hoped due to rough waters, he made our inshore trip memorable. Hooks were kept baited and he was very patient with the kids. Our keepers were filleted for us to take home at the conclusion of our trip. Would definitely recommend to both novices and more experienced anglers alike.

Mangrove Snapper

42 fish in tbe boat!!!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on June 5, 20263 adults

My sons and I had a great time with Captain Aaron. We managed to land 42 fish in just a few hours. Not all were keepers, but we caught enough for 2 nights of fish tacos. (Family of 5) The good captain put us right where we needed to be to maximize our time on the water, was very patient, and even cleaned our fish at the dock. Keep up the grest job, Captain!

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

Started inshore fishing when I was a young boy and then moved on to offshore as a teenager. Later I began taking people fishing with me. Seeing their excitement and happiness from reeling in trophy fish quickly became more rewarding for me than me catching the fish. So here I am now, guiding people in the right direction to catch their personal best trophy fish!
