Great day on the water!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on July 3, 2025
Went out with my son in the bay and caught several different species of fish! Red snapper, Spanish Mackerel, flounder, lane snapper, squirrel fish, toad fish hooked into a shark that ran with the line 100 yards before he straightened the 2 treble hooks! We have already planned a 2nd day of fishing with Captain Justin and are very excited to see what he has up his sleeve next!

5 Hour Trip – Gulf Fishing (PM) on June 27, 2025
Captain Justin made sure my son and I had a great day on the water. We caught bait, caught fish, and made some good memories. He even cleaned the fish for us and packed them on ice so we could take them home.

Capt. Justin always knows where to put you on the fish. My wife and my son’s friend got their first Mahi. Great memories that will last a lifetime. Can’t wait to fish with Capt. Justin in the future.

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
My background comes from commercial fishing. I am what you would call a local yokel (native) to the Gulf breeze area even though I didn't get to live on the water. My father definitely raised me on the water – I spent most of my summers on the back of a commercial fishing boat. That was my summer camp for 15 years! Then, I found myself on a charter boat as a deckhand and decided that I could make a better future for my family and myself by putting more effort into the charter fishing business.
