Fantastic Day with Good Thing Fishing Charter
Morning 3/4 Day Trip on July 17, 20263 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!
