our trip was so fun- we loved riding in the boat, seeing the beautiful lake and marsh wetlands and catching fish. We caught enough red fish to have an awesome grilled fish meal that evening. our guide was fantastic! He was so attentive and helpful- for the girls in our group who weren’t experienced fishers, he cast our rods for us in the perfect spots and he was there to help our experienced fisherman any way they needed- snapped pictures for us with each catch- afterward he cleaned our fish and gave us a wonderful recipe for grilling them- such a fun experience for my whole family- a break from the beach and so nice
Perfect day on the water and thanks for taking the time to share your experience with Bayflats Fishing Charters. Big shoes to fill next time we go, lol.
I wanted to take my 7 year old son out fishing to catch bigger fish than the bass and crappie back home. Captain Justin was awesome with pre trip communication and coordination. My son, my wife, and I did a 2 hour trip from 5:30-7:30pm. Captain Justin was so patient with my son who had a million questions. The boat and equipment was awesome! We boated 15 fish in 2 hours and kept 4. Captain Justin knew exactly where to go to get us on some fish. I can’t express how awesome the trip was and how much fun my whole family had. We will be making this an annual tradition now!
Thanks Andy, that’s best review ever. I’m standing by for next time! Thanks again.

Justin was on time abd had plenty of shrimp for our in shore trip. Justin was informed on the area and moved us around to find the fish. we got plenty of fish action and several keepers for our group of six. Justin was; Friendly, professional, knowledgeable and great music in the boat. If you want an enjoyable family fishing time with fishing action , book Captain Justin in the Florida panhandle area.
Killer pics and fun evening with you and the fam. Great tunes, sunset and redfish in the box.
We had an amazing experience with Captain Justin. He was very engaging with our kids, taking time to explain the fishing technique, taught them about the fish species we were catching, and most importantly he was able to help us catch A LOT of fish! It was our favorite part of our vacation and I would recommend a trip with Captain Justin to anyone looking to make lifetime memories with their families!
My pleasure Taylor and cool that I get to be part of that family memory. Counting on a call next time you’re here and fingers crossed for a little better weather.
Captain Justin did a fantastic job helping us catch fish on the bay. We caught red fish, black drums, catfish, sting rays and even a blue crab. Justin was so helpful and completley prepared. He did great with our kids (age 14 and 10). We had planned on being out for 2 hours but decided to add more time because we were having too much fun. We will be back!
Awesome fam and great morning on the water catching fish! Thanks for letting me be a part of that. Hope to see you all back down soon and thank you again.
