we were able to catch 3 differnet species of fish and did end up landing a shark during the trip. The captain and his crew went above and beyond and made the most of our trip. It was a much better experience than we had in Florida the previous year!
There were five adults and two children in our party. We heard that captain Steven had lined up a helper but the helper did not show up. Captain Steven worked very hard, was very friendly and polite. Unfortunately, since his help did not show it took a long time for him to get all the lines going. He uses a drone to take the bait out and he had a bit of a struggle with the drone malfunctioning. We were newbies and really did not know what to expect on a shore fishing charter. We caught a few whiting and one bull shark. Landing the bull shark was fun. When we had just gotten the shark to shore a random truck drove over the lines, dragging them down the shore. With two children in the party that was quite a fright. Captain Steven handled things very well and we moved vehicles to block off the trail for safety. We certainly cannot blame him for the low tide and sharks that were not very hungry. He did his best to get lines out without help and coached us through landing the shark. He then took some great photos to memorialize our adventure.
We had a blast me and my father in-law both caught some big fish even tho the weather wasn’t good Captain Steve and his team put us on some fish. I highly recommend booking a fishing trip with Gulf Coast Yaker.
Glen put on a top notch experience and would definitely recommend him to everyone.
