Put us on the Fish
Shark Fishing (PM) on May 4, 20261 adult3 children

It’s fascinating that you can head out in the ocean and find fish, but Captian Chandler does a tremendous amount of work on his craft and he put us on them. When the activity slows, we head to the next spot. We booked a shark tour - didn’t catch a shark - but caught 60 plus other fish with my 12,13,14 year olds. He noticed how much fun they were having bagging grouper and such, that sharking kind of took a back seat. It was the highlight of their week. Expertise is there, service is there - captain did all he could to make this successful and it was.

Reported catch:
Red Snapper
Vermilion Snapper
Gray Triggerfish

Awesome Trip with my kids
5 Hour Trip on May 28, 20263 adults

We had a wonderful time today on our first ever fishing trip in the gulf. We are an avid fresh water fishing family, but didnt know much about this side of it. The Captain was awesome and took care of all our needs and helped educate us on what to so when. When we fished out a spot, he was quick to move us somewhere else and we got back after it again. id recommend Chandler to anyone coming to the area. He also got us all situated and set up at the marina so our fish were cleaned and ready to go by the time we got to the car.

Reported catch:
Red Snapper
Gag Grouper
Mangrove Snapper

Shark Fishing (AM) on August 5, 20262 adults1 child

Definitely highly recommended. Captain Chandler knew exactly where to take us and was very patient with us. We caught quite a bit of fish and had a blast. Highly recommended and we will definitely use again. Me and my kids had a blast. He has all 5 star rating for a reason.

Great Trip!
Captain's Recommendation on August 4, 20262 adults

This was my first trip like this but Chandler made it great! Apparently fishing was tough but we still caught lots of fish! He made sure to keep us on fish if a spot wasn’t producing like it should. 100% recommend! Great time!
