Robert Lee•
Minnesota, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedHardworking captain!
Sunset – Bottom Fishing (PM) on April 22, 2026 • 4 adultsThe day was windy and the fishing was relatively slow, but Captain Alex worked diligently to find us fish and to help some real novices catch something. The highlight was when my son hooked a really big one, got a harness on, and learned how to fight it. Unfortunately, just before he got it up to the boat it turned and ran, breaking the line. The boat was quite new and well equipped. We all had a great afternoon.
Bill Bruce•Indiana, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedBig fish!
4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing (AM) on June 23, 2026 • 6 adultsAlex and his son did a great job! The boat was nice and clean. They put us on the fish. Pulled in several keepers in a few that you couldn’t keep but we’re fun to catch. Cobia and a 250-300 pound Goliath grouper. I have been out on 15 or more charters and never hooked one of these, was a great experience. Give Alex a call!
Lori Sumner•Ohio, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedGreat time

My son and I were looking for to catch American Red Snappers, So Capitan Alex took us 65 miles out. The water was beautiful, the ride was smooth and the play list was well curated and we limited out on snapper! As a bonus while my son was reeling up his line he landed a keeper Wahoo! As we were packing up, the one line we hadn't yet pulled in landed a massive sailfish, we fought it for an hour and got it on the boat... Another keeper! Absolutely amazing day!
Awesome!

Thank you Bob. It was pleasure having you on board. Alex

Thank you Bill! It was awesome!
Captain and 1st mate were very accommodating and knowledgeable. We caught more fish than expected and the crew gave helpful pointers and correct techniques for fishing. Highly recommend this trip for anyone from beginners to experienced fishermen. The crew were very friendly and felt like family!
Thank you, Jim! We had a blast!
4 of us chartered Caption Alex. Perfect weather caught a bunch of grunts which were fabulous eating. Caption Alex's boat accommodated us nicely with room to spare. Very attentive for baiting our lines and taking the catch off the hooks. Missed the big ones, they were in our spot but kept eating our bait. Did some trolling but no luck. Thank you for showing us a great time and letting us pick the music. We were all jamming!
Thank you! Pleasure is mine. we will get those monsters up next time. Looking forward to our next trip. Captain Alex.
