    Great fishing trip.

    4 Hour Trip Jetty on November 24, 2025 • 3 adults

    This was our first experience on a fishing trip. We caught around 20 fish in 3.5 hours. 2 red fish over 36 inches and 3 other smaller keepers. They cleaned and fillet them for us. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful which made for a great trip. Would do again and highly recommended.

    5 hour bay jetty trip

    6 Hour Bay/Jetty up to 6 Men on June 21, 2023 • 5 adults

    We were a family of 5, comfortable accommodations. Ryan and Jacob were first mates and made the trip wonderful, very personable and fun. Although we didn't get any fish to keep those 2 young men worked hard to try to get us a snapper. My only recommendation would be to have some alternative bait options if it isn't working but as a fisherwoman I understand some days it's just not your day 🙃 and personally my fault, 2 of us got motion sick pretty bad so I'd prepare for that ahead of time. I'm kicking myself for not taking some medication before hand. But thank you for the trip and thanks again for first mate's, you guys really made the trip!

    Memories to last a lifetime!

    6 Hour Bay/Jetty up to 6 Men on April 27, 2023

    We took our older grandkids (13, 15, and 18) out for a day on the water and to do some fishing. The old saying beginners' luck sure held out. The youngest who had never been on the water before Casey hauled in several nice redfish, beating her brothers out both in number and size. Captain Jim and his deckhand Jacob made the day so special. The kids each took a turn driving the boat on the way back to the dock. We have already booked a longer trip for summer vacation. See you guys in June.

    Great Captain, nice boat

    6 Hour Bay/Jetty up to 6 Men on September 5, 2025 • 5 adults

    We loved the first 2 hours! Captain was cool, friendly and enjoyed his stories. Great music, lots of chatting and catching little fish. Last 4 hours we were listening to bickering over an anchor and where to fish and more. Music kinda stopped at that point and the mood was bad. We didn’t get to bait our own hooks, all the guys were upset about that. I’m sure these problems are fixed now but it wasn’t the best day ever for sure.
