    Awesome Trip with my kids

    5 Hour Trip on May 28, 2026 • 3 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.

    Put us on the Fish

    Shark Fishing (PM) on May 4, 2026 • 4 adults • 3 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.
