Hoping to catch some fish in Santa Rosa Beach? 30A Tight Line Fishing Charters is your ticket! Captain Ryan will be your guide, allowing you to benefit from years of knowledge and experience.

Depending on the season, you might hook into Flounder, Jack Crevalle, Redfish, Sheepshead, Spanish Mackerel, Speckled Trout, and plenty more. On these trips, you can expect to bottom fish using light tackle.

Capt. Ryan believes in teaching kids to fish while they're young, so feel free to make a family day out of it! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise, you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish. You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Now, come aboard with 30A Tight Line Fishing Charters and get hooked!

Even a slow day is great!

3 Hour Trip on August 11, 2025 • 3 adults • 2 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!

Great trip!

We had an amazing time on our fishing charter with Haygen! From start to finish, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole trip a blast. We caught more catfish than we ever expected—nonstop action the entire time! Haygen knew exactly where to take us and made sure everyone was having a great experience, no matter their skill level. Highly recommend booking with him if you’re looking for a fun, successful day on the water.

Fun day fishing with family

4 Hour Trip on May 15, 2025 • 4 adults

Captain Ryan was fantastic putting us on the fish from the first spot to the last. He was very personable and professional. There were 4 of us and just him but it seemed like he had six hands as he kept up with baiting, casting and giving tips to those of us who needed help. At one point he helped 2 newbies pull in slot reds simultaneously. I thought for sure one of them would get away but Captain Ryan kept his cool netted one threw it in the boat and spun around to scoop up the next one. On spots where we weren't catching he was quick to move to the next one and it paid off bigtime. The last spot of the trip we pulled in 4 redfish between 22-26"! Couldn't have asked for a better day out with my family. Thanks Captain Ryan. You certainly do know these waters.

Beautiful Sunrise and Great Weather

4 Hour Trip on August 31, 2025 • 3 adults

Capt. Hagan took us out. He was perfectly on time. When we got to the first fishing spot of the morning, he had all of the gear already tied on and we were able to immediately start fishing. By 7:55AM we had already landed a massive bull Redfish. The rest of the morning was filled will plenty of action from more redfish, a stingray, and even the occasional hooked bird! Enjoyed the time spent. Great gear and boat also!

Captain Ryan worked hard, just a slow day

3 Hour Trip on July 30, 2025 • 4 adults

The ONLY reason I am rating our trip 4-star and not 5-star is we only caught 4 fish, with two being catfish. Captain Ryan was very professional and worked hard to put us on fish. He did his job. We appreciated his effort on a slow day. All you can ask out of a guide is to work hard to find fish. If you hunt and fish on a regular basis, you know slow days are part of it. Book your trip with Captain Ryan, because he will work hard for you whether the fish are biting or not.
