I couldn’t recommend them or the experience more. Started at 7, had a nice boat ride to deeper than most boats went to find great spots that had us catching fish after fish. They re-baited lines, and when we had a lull would pull out rods and hook into fish for us. They came prepared. They were relaxed, and fun, easy going, and were excited about our fish as much as we were. They got us into school after school of different fish. I myself hooked into between 25-30 by myself, total we caught about 40 fish. Probably more. We ended up keeping enough to feed our group of 6 at least twice. We didn’t get any massive fish, but they definite catch them. We were hooked up on a 5 ft movie (sp?) but it got away. they didn’t rush us at all. They took us about 25 miles out, it took some time, but we got the full 4 hours of fishing and I think they would have let us fish longer if the dolphins hadn’t rolled in. Former military, family of military, and they know what they are doing but don’t force things on you. It was perfect for us, some of us hadn’t been fishing for a decade, and non of us had been fishing in the ocean.

Your captain
Fort Walton Beach, Florida, United States
I've been fishing my entire life! I've been fishing all over from fly fishing float trips in New Mexico, fishing the lakes in Canada, the Great lakes, deep sea fishing on both coasts, and the Florida panhandle. I have an extensive military background, but fishing has always been my passion that will never go away. My absolutely favorite thing is to get families and little ones on the boat to experience fishing. I love it when someone catches a fish and that's why my goal is to make sure everyone has a blast on every trip!
