    Fantastic Day with Good Thing Fishing Charter

    Morning 3/4 Day Trip on July 17, 2026 • 3 adults

    We had an amazing day out with Good Thing Fishing Charter and Captain Trevor Carr! I took my daughter and her friend and Trevor made the whole trip a blessing from start to finish. He was kind, patient with the kids, and clearly has deep knowledge of the local fish and waters. We landed a great mix, vermillion snapper, red grouper, and gag grouper and Trevor was hands-on the whole time, helping the kids reel in and learn along the way. It's rare to find a captain who's this skilled and this genuinely kind. We'll definitely be booking with Good Thing Fishing Charter again. Highly recommend Captain Trevor to anyone looking for a fun, successful, family-friendly fishing trip!

    Had a blast with Capt Trev

    Morning 3/4 Day Trip on July 16, 2025 • 1 adult

    Capt Trev will do everything he can to put you on fish. I did the 6hr trip. Started out slow catching bait then we went out and found some. Then he put me on some Kings and it was so awesome. I had never caught one before and it was one of the best things I’ve ever done before. I’m planning on it next year with him. We hooked a double. They both came out of the water to hit the bait and it was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen before. I highly recommend Capt Trev I appreciate it Capt Jeremy

    Epic Day Out on the Gulf with Capt Trevor Carr

    on April 18, 2025

    Capt Trevor Carr gave us an incredible day on the water! He knew exactly where to go and put us on some great fish—we were reeling them in left and right. His experience and energy made the whole trip enjoyable, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. For a solid day out on the gulf Capt Trevor is your guy. Highly recommend booking with him!

    5 Stars with Good Thing

    Morning Half Day Trip on June 22, 2024

    Went out with Captain Trev and had an awesome time. The guy knows where the fish are and makes the whole trip a blast—equal parts fishing and roasting your casting skills (all in good fun). We were reeling in catches in no time. The boat? Comfy. The views? Stunning. The vibes? Immaculate. The fish? Delicious. Would 100% go again, even if just for the one-liners. Bring snacks, sunscreen, and your ego—Trev will test all three.

    Capt. Trevor seemed to know the waters very well. The 1st place we went to I hooked into one almost as soon as my line hit the water. Every place he took us to we caught fish. No need to keep looking for a boat. Book with him now.
