    Awesome Trip!

    Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on August 12, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had an absolutely wonderful time on our fishing charter with Captain Ian! He was fantastic from start to finish, and the fishing was incredible, we caught 10 fish! Ian made the whole trip fun, relaxing, and memorable. To top it all off, he even took us by the sandbar afterward to look for sand dollars. Such a thoughtful extra touch! We highly recommend “Reel N Times” and Captain Ian. We can’t wait to do it again!

    Great Day!

    Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on July 26, 2026 • 4 adults

    Ian made us feel like family. He had a cancellation and bumped us from an afternoon to a morning trip. Caught some keeper red drum, multiple black drum (below limit), flounder (not in season), and croaker. Even got to see dolphins and alligators on the way back in to the dock. Had a great day with good friends and an excellent Cpt. Will be going again. Thanks Ian!

    Great 1st fishing trip!

    Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on March 15, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    It was our son's birthday wish to go fishing and we had the best time with Captain Ian! He was so patient and knowledgeable. He adjusted our trip time because of unfavorable weather and it worked out perfectly! We caught some red fish and a black drum...which he filleted and it was delicious. We saw a giant gator and got close enough to take some good pictures! At the he took us to Bear Island and got to explore. Thank you Captain Ian for a memorable trip! My sons can't wait to fish again!

    Great time and Captain Ian has a wealth of knowledge

    Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on June 3, 2026 • 3 adults

    Three of us went out. 14M and 13M and had a wonderful time catching fish. The boat ride out to his spots was refreshing and set the pace for a great day. Ian knew what he was doing, understood the way the tide and winds affect catching and moved around to different spots to put us all on the fish every time.

    Was hard to catch keepers but we catch some good size Crockers but plenty of shrimp. Captain Ina is a friendly and knowledgeable person this was a family fishing trip and was worth it. Thanks see you soon!!!

    Good day on the water. Capt. Ian was willing to burn fuel and make a long run to find the fish. Brought home a nice keeper.

We learned a lot
Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM on May 25, 2026 • 3 adults

The weather was not optimal for catching fish. It had rained pretty heavy right before we went out. Ian tried his best to put us on some fish but nothing was biting. We caught a couple croakers and one small flounder. What we learned was invaluable. We improved our casting abilities. Learned what to look for to find fish. I would definitely book with Ian again. Thanks for a great time

Great trip today
Half Day Trip on July 30, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

We had the best time today with Captain Ian. He took us to some very fishy spots and shared his knowledge with me and the kids. We hooked up on a couple of flounder and whiting. After fishing we spent some time at the inlet looking for sand dollars on the sandbar. Beautiful day on the water and Ian was a fantastic guide. Thank you!

Last minute trip
Half Day Trip on July 2, 2026 • 4 adults

Booked a last minute trip for my family of four with Captain Ian. It turned out to be a great trip! Ian explained how we were going to fish and gave tips and tricks along the way. He worked hard to find the fish and put us all on. It was smiles and tight lines all around. Will be booking future trips with Captain Ian.

Reported catch:
Black Drum
Redfish
