Dale PhillipsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedThe Best Crew
10 Hour Trip–Bottom Fishing on June 27, 2026 • 8 adultsWe had an incredible 2-day fishing trip with Alisha and Griffin! They worked hard to keep us on the fish, and the experience exceeded our expectations. We caught an amazing variety, including Red Snapper, Black Snapper, B Snapper, Black Jacks, Mahi, Rudderfish, and Bonita. Their knowledge, professionalism, and friendly attitude made the trip both successful and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a great fishing charter, we highly recommend fishing with Alisha and Griffin. We’re already looking forward to coming back next year! Thank you both for an unforgettable trip!
Emily MurryRepeat angler5.0VerifiedIncredible Crew, Incredible Memories!
6 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing - 2:30 PM on July 18, 2026 • 13 adults • 5 childrenWe had the absolute best time with Captain Alicia and her amazing deckhands! From the moment we stepped on the boat, they made us feel welcome and made sure everyone had a great experience. They were knowledgeable, patient, and worked hard to help us catch fish while making the trip fun for everyone. We booked this trip to celebrate our son’s 11th birthday, and they helped make it a day he’ll never forget. We highly recommend Captain Alicia and her crew. We can’t wait to book another trip—we’ll definitely be back soon!
Robert DempseyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAlways great with Captain Alecia
6 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing - 12:30 PM on May 27, 2026 • 7 adultsThe level of customer service you would expect from a great Captain. The morning started off with high winds and i reveived a phone call from Alecia asking if i wanted to reachedule. My kids being kids said they wanted to go anyways and away we went. The day turned out great and ended up with about 30lbs of fish for our 6 hour trip. i would 100% recommend Longshot charters to anyone whos looking for a great day of fishing!
Christian Early5.0VerifiedGreat trip!
6 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing - 12:30 PM on August 21, 2026 • 8 adultsWe had an amazing time on our fishing trip, the captain put us right in the fish every time and the first mate never stopped working the whole time. He was always on top of baiting the hooks never leaving our lines out of the water for bery long at all. We will definitely book with them again.
Joseph Miehlich4.7VerifiedGreat Family Trip
6 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing on May 26, 2026 • 10 adults • 2 childrenGreat Family trip. Capt was great and experienced with all the curveballs. The Deck Hand was very attentive to the kids to make sure they enjoyed the time and experience on the water. I would recommend to a large group anytime 10/10. Equipment is heavy for very young children is the only issue but hey it’s saltwater rigs it cant be too light weight and still work.
Colin MarnerRepeat angler5.0Verifiedan amazing trip!!
