Unforgettable Deep Sea Fishing Adventure!
4 – Hour Inshore/Nearshore on October 13, 20253 adults
This was hands down one of the best fishing trips I’ve ever had. The captain was really cool and made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. We got into some amazing action—hooked a huge Cobia (a first for me and such an incredible fight), caught triple tail (unfortunately none of keeper size, but the captain worked hard to find them for us), and brought in a few snappers and a Spanish mackerel to take home. The trip was well organized, the captain was patient, knowledgeable, and clearly cared about giving us the best shot at landing something special. It was a perfect balance of fun and challenge, and I’d recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience deep sea fishing at its finest. I’ll definitely be booking again!

Amazing Trip 4 hr shark fishing PM
4 – Hour Shark Fishing on June 24, 20255 adults
We got picked up from our hotel, the boat was spacious and our captain was great! Started off a bit slow but come on there's no guarantee the fish will bite but our guy never gave up! We were catching bait fish to keep us laughing while he did all the work trying to get us on a big catch. So it happened, after all the hard work our 19yr old daughter caught a 200lb nurse shark, 17 mins to get it to the boat, it was amazing! We had a blast and felt right at home! Will definitely book again if back in this area!

Permit, Snapper, Grouper, Shark and more!
4 – Hour Inshore/Nearshore on May 23, 20255 adults
Captain Joey and Linda took 5 of us out in the Gulf. We’re from Indiana and we’re staying at Indian shores. Boat was nice, clean, and well-maintained. We were on fish within 20-30 minutes from leaving the dock. All of us got lots of Snapper. We hit on a big Permit and another even bigger Permit shortly after. All of us ended up landing a big fish including Grouper and Shark. We had some more that we didn’t get in due to a large Hammerhead Shark that circled the boat which was super cool even though it stole our catch! Saw Barracuda and a Sea Turtle too. There was a huge Tarpon on the line that lept out of the water and snapped the line. Later, we fought what was likely a Goliath Grouper for a long time until it snapped a pole. Lots of excitement and we were all thrilled with the action. Capt Joey and Linda cleaned the fish and gave them to sorted and on ice. We took them to a local restaurant who prepared them at a very reasonable price. It was the best fish any of us had ever had! We blackened the Permit and fried the Snapper. Delicious! This outing was by far the highlight of our family vacation from Indiana. Big thanks to Sea Dawgs Fishing!

4 – Hour Inshore/Nearshore on May 10, 20253 adults1 child
Had an awesome time fishing inshore with Sea Dawgs Fishing Charters and Captain Adam! He was super friendly, easygoing, and made the whole experience fun and stress-free. Whether you're experienced or just out for a relaxing day on the water, Captain Adam knows how to make it a good time. We stayed inshore, hit some great spots, and caught plenty of fish without needing a lot of technical know-how. The boat was comfortable and well-equipped, and Adam was great about handling everything so we could just enjoy the day. Highly recommend Sea Dawgs if you’re looking for a laid-back, enjoyable fishing trip with a knowledgeable and down-to-earth captain.
