Daniel AdamsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedNewAwesome!!!
Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours) on October 14, 2026 • 4 adultsHad a great day out with captain Spencer, his knowledge is unbelievable and his effort and willingness to give you the best day is fantastic. I highly recommend Absolut fishing charters. we landed several fish but the 40 lb red drum was the highlight
Suzanne Armor5.0VerifiedSuch a great trip!
Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours) on August 12, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childCaptain Spencer took me and my two sons out for red drum. It was our first time fishing salt water and he was so patient and thoughtful in teaching my boys what to do. Despite less than ideal red drum fishing conditions, we caught a 34-inch red drum and a few skates. It was a really fun experience, and Captain Spencer is so personable and kind. The boat is clean and well-stocked. Highly recommend.
Brandon DropRepeat angler5.0VerifiedWe had a blast! 100% Reccomend
Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours) on July 10, 2026 • 4 adultsWe did a morning trip with Capt Spencer and went for bluefish and redfish. Capt Spencer was extremely personable and knowlegeable. He explained everything to us and taught us a ton. He also put us on the fish. We caught 12 bluefish and a couple sting rays. The blue fish were very fun to catch! 100% would recommend this charter to anyone. Thanks Absolut Charters!
Dylan Willis5.0VerifiedEveryone caught fish.
Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours) on September 2, 2026 • 4 adultswe had a grrat half day with captn Spencer. He was awesome, 3 of us caught red drum over 42 inches within 20 minutes of our trip, and caught another just over keeper size, at the end of the trip we went outside of the inlet and caught some spanish mackerel to cook for dinner. It was a great day!
Laurent PetitRepeat angler4.7VerifiedAnother Great Day with Captain Spencer
Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours) - 11:00 AM on July 14, 2026 • 2 adultsThis was our second trip with Captain Spencer, and once again, my son and I had an awesome time! Spencer is a true professional, super friendly, and his knowledge of the local waters really made the difference. He never gave up, and his persistence paid off when we landed an incredible red drum! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks again, Spencer. We’ll definitely fish with you again!
Chad Lidwell5.0VerifiedBest older teen experience
Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours) - 3:30 PM on June 11, 2026 • 4 adultsOur experience from the start was great, from booking it, the call the day before to ask about customizing our experience, to the day of Jed and Spencer made sure that our fishing charter was all set and ready to go for us. Spencer was amazing with our teenagers and we had a great time!

Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours) on June 10, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childHad a great day, caught quite a few fish…huge reds, big speckled trout, and big blues with my son and some friends.
