    Our Lucky Day

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on July 17, 2024 • 5 adults

    My son had a couple buddies from Michigan visiting and they wanted to fish. So we took them on their first saltwater charter. The target was Red Snapper and Cobia. Captain Jeff put us on the Red Snapper first and we were 1 shy of the limit but we took some time to target the Cobia and came back with the limit. A great day and the 1st mate (Captain’s daughter) worked her butt off and knew more about fishing and bait than anybody in our crew. Great fishing, great conversations, great experience and somehow the Captain avoided us getting rained on and we were surrounded by it a few times. Thank you!

    Awesome fishing experience

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on May 22, 2024 • 3 adults

    Captain Jeff and Jackson greeted us and gave us instructions on what we were to do and how we were going to do it. They got us bean bags to sit on as we went to our destination point, which I believe was about 20 miles out. We caught fish immediately and kept catching them. Captain moved us around to better increase our chances of catching bigger fish. Hooked what we thought were sharks getting our fish a couple times which gave us a good fight until our lines broke. We had a great time and will choose Dorado when we come back.

    AWESOME SNAPPER & SHARK!!

    6 Hour Trip – Snapper Slam (PM) on July 27, 2023 • 6 adults

    Captain and deck hand were very knowledgeable, professional, and well seasoned. Boat and equipment were pristine clean. We had great weather and easily caught our limit on Red Snapper. Started hauling in the BeeLiners when sharks started snacking on our catch. Instead of moving, Capt Jerry just says, “Hey, y’all want to catch a shark?” Of course, we were all HECK YEAH! So, we chose one of my Engineers to harness up with a fighting rod and reel. Capt Jerry rigged him up and it was ON! After 30 minutes of fighting, cause this shark was literally pulling the boat around, we finally got this HUGE 10’ BULL SHARK to the surface! WHAT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE! Thank You Capt Jerry!!

    4 hour tour - Red Snapper. a dolphin, and a rainbow to end the day

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on July 6, 2022 • 6 adults

    We had a great day w Bubba and Logan. They were polite, friendly, kept us informed of where we were going and why (moved around some because the fish were not biting in a couple spots), and made sure we caught as much as we could. They went the extra mile and helped us bring in heavier fish. They cleaned the fish quickly, helped us take pictures, and gave us some tips for freezing and thawing. My one caution is that the boat we were on doesn’t have seats, just bean bags. They were a comfortable ride but a little hard to get up from. The ride on the boat was great, and we even had a dolphin or two (or three) come near us.

Words can't Describe
6 Hour Trip – Snapper Slam (AM) on August 10, 2026 • 3 adults

Captain Jeff absolutely blew it out of te water. As a native of the area, he thoroughly knows these waters, bites, and weather conditions. we were blessed with a perfect day on the Snapper Slam. Smacked the large red ones in the first couple spots, with my wife nailing 2 hogs. We then focused on bonus fish of Vermillion Snapper, Trigger Fish, a Chocolate Pouge. First mate, Jackson kept us at the right depth for each bite and bait on the hook. Can't thank them enough as wewill definitely be back for another trip ofa lifetime.
