Excellent Outing
4 Hour Trip PM on July 24, 20262 adults1 child

We had an excellent outing with Captain Ryan. He was motivated to get us on fish and it paid off! We hit our limit in less than 3 hours, and even if we hadn’t he was an excellent Captain - very patient and engaging with our son, which is most important to creating memories. He also shared how he likes to cook his redfish. Be sure to ask if you are lucky enough to book with him - its 10/10.

Reported catch:
Redfish

tough day
4 Hour Trip AM on July 23, 20263 adults

had hopes for a great 4 hour trip, but the first stop told the story. Bites but no catches. It was nice in the next few stops , bites —-but line breakage. fish took bait and hook. Multiple times. finally someone in our party landed a keeper. all in all, one decent redfish (keeper) , one baby redfish, and a catfish. that was it in the 4 hour trip. fish weren’t out to play today during the morning session. good sight seeing tour of the bay. we were told march, april,may are the best. these hot summer months, things slow down a bit. when booking your trip consider that. great to be outside, now to dine on one expensive redfish 😂😂😂 tight lines !

Reported catch:
Redfish

Response from Captain

Edmund sorry you we disappointed. We would be estatic if we were able to limit out on every trip. There is nothing i can do when big bull reds get under docks and cut your line. i moved quick if you were not getting bites and didnt mind burning fuel to try and find keeper size fish that wouldnt break your lines. Tight lines! Capt. Ryan

Great Honeymoon Fishing Trip
4 Hour Trip AM on May 21, 20262 adults

My wife and I were spending our honeymoon in seagrove and decided to book a charter with 30A tightline. It was the best decision we could have made! Captain Ryan got us hooked into a two-man limit of trout in under 30 minutes and battled tough tide conditions to get us a two-man limit of redfish as well! We also had fun catching some snapper right at the end of the trip. I highly recommend this trip for anyone who wants to catch fish and have a personable captain to interact with.

Reported catch:
Redfish
Speckled Trout

Response from Captain

Even a slow day is great!
3 Hour Trip AM on August 11, 20253 adults2 children

Captain Ryan was fantastic. He let us know a few days ahead of time that the fishing might be slow due to recent weather conditions. We didn’t mind, we just wanted to get on the water and I wanted to see my seven-year-old and five-year-old grandsons have a fun time. We didn’t catch a lot of fish, but my daughter-in-law caught a 30 pound black drum, my son caught some nice red fish, one was large enough that we took it home after Captain Ryan cleaned it and gave us two very nice filets, and the filet mignon of a red fish…the neck meat! I have to say that it was one of the best fish dinners I’ve had in many many years, knowing that we caught it and had the freshest fish we could. This is only my second time with 30A Tight Line Fishing, but it will definitely not be the last!
