Catherine Anne Sportfishing and Excursions
Catherine Anne Sportfishing and Excursions invites you to experience the stunning waters of Southport. Having logged many hours on these waters, Captain Steele knows them forwards and back.
Blue Marlin, White Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, Wahoo, King Mackerel (Kingfish), Spanish Mackerel, Gag Grouper, Vermilion Snapper, Black Seabass, Cobia, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the season. You can expect to do some spinning, popping, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Steele can also show you kite fishing.
Kids are absolutely welcome, so go ahead and bring the whole family along! Child-sized life vests are available. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks and anything specific you may want to drink, the boat provides water to stay fueled throughout your trip!
Capt. Steele operates a 36' Revenge custom center console that can carry up to 6 passengers. This amazing boat is one of the largest, fastest and best equipped boats in our area which equates to more fishing time and comfort on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Certain trips are run with the help of a First Mate. The Captain and Mate work hard to make your trip count, so a 15–20% tip is customary.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, just show up ready for a good time! Some fish have special regulations, including when you can keep them. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain. It's always wise to bring sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Anthony GriceRepeat angler5.0Verified3 man Limit on Jacks in 20min!
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on June 5, 2026 • 4 adultsHad a bit of a rough week weather wise for fishing but Captain Steele was all over it. Called an audible on the fishing location the morning of our trip. After filling the bait wells with one throw of the cast net we headed to the fishing grounds. Within 20 minutes we had our limit of 30-40lb Amberjacks. We were worn out. We could have continued in that spot reeling in (and releasing) many times our limit but elected to go off in search of some other species. Within minutes of reaching the 2nd location we had a mahi on the boat. Great trip. Captain Steele is a hard working captain who knows his stuff and knows how to read the situation with wind and recent weather to put you on the fish. we had a great time. Thanks Captain Steele!
Ken Johnson5.0VerifiedNewOutstanding trip with Captain Park!
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on September 29, 2026 • 5 adults • 1 childCaptain Park worked tirelessly to put us on fish! He is a great fishing guide and Captain! We had a phenomenal day on the water! Caught every fish we requested to catch! Thank you Captain Park for giving us a great day of fishing! True Professional!!!
Kevin FulkRepeat angler5.0VerifiedTough day on the pond.
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on May 6, 2026 • 4 adultsThe fish didn’t want to bite today. We had to work for the fish that we brought home, but that’s fishing. Captain Steele put us on-top of fish, but for whatever reason they weren’t interested. Caught fish today that I’ve never caught (False Albicore and Needle fish) before.. Also we caught Red Snapper, Sea Bass, Red Vermillion Snapper and shark.
Ashley Fox5.0VerifiedBirthday made!
2 Hour Trip – Kids Intro - 1:00 PM on August 27, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe booked this trip in celebration of our son turning 9 - Captain Steele did an excellent job of catering the trip to the birthday boy and his brother! Captain Steele made sure the kids caught something before introducing the opportinity to catch a shark (which we did!!) I couldnt recommend Captain Steele highly enough! A true professional.
Pattie GriggsRepeat angler5.0VerifiedCaptain Steele is Awesome!
2 Hour Trip – Kids Intro - 1:00 PM on July 27, 2026 • 6 adults • 3 childrenCaptain Steele was excellent with my kids, even the 2 who had no interest in fishing and just wanted the boat to go fast. He made sure my son was able to catch some fish (despite it being the heat of the day in July) and we were even able to keep and cook one. Would love to go again!
Nathan Ballou5.0VerifiedCapt Steele is the man
6 Hour Trip – Offshore on July 27, 2026 • 6 adults6 of us went out for 6 hours and we had a blast. Capt Steele was extremely knowledgeable and even more friendly. We got a Mahi Mahi on our first bait cast and plenty of Barracuda after that. Next time we book, we’re definitely going to check Capt Steele’s availability first.
Gary RudisillRepeat angler5.0Verifiedgreat experience
4 Hour Trip – Nearshore on June 24, 2026 • 5 adultsCaptain Steele was very accommodating and  personable. He not only put us on fish but explained things around us like the pelicans and other birds that he used to help find and locate fish. It was a great experience to add to our vacation.
