My wife wanted to take the whole family out to fish for mother’s day weekend and our sons’ school fishing rodeo. Although the weather forecast was not ideal, Captain Kevin was able to put us on some redfish before the rain started. He was so patient and great with my youngest who caught his first redfish! To top it off, he put my oldest on a redfish that placed 3rd in the rodeo. Despite the little bit of rain we caught on the run back in, everyone had a blast and asked when we could go back and do it again on the ride home - even my wife!
I recently went fishing with Captain Kevin from Down South Fishing Charters, and it was an experience to remember! From the start, he was punctual and welcoming, which set the tone for our day on the water. Kevin's passion for fishing truly shines through in his friendly personality and vast knowledge of the local waters. Although the bite was slow early on, Captain Kevin didn’t let that deter us. He skillfully covered more water, determined to find us some fish. We even ran into a challenge with small fish eating through our bait, using up about 5lbs. But Kevin went the extra mile—literally—by heading back to the marina to get us more bait. This kind of dedication is hard to come by! In the end, he fished an extended hour so we could make the most of our time. His commitment to ensuring we had a great experience really impressed me. Overall, the trip was both affordable and enjoyable, and I genuinely look forward to fishing with Captain Kevin again. Highly recommend!

I recently had the pleasure of joining Kevin with Down South Fishing Charters for a fishing trip, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! Kevin was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about fishing. He shared great tips and stories, which made the day even more enjoyable. We targeted red fish but also caught a few others and had great success! Kevin knew the best spots and we ended up with a nice haul. There was plenty of action throughout the day, which kept everyone engaged and excited. I highly recommend Down South Fishing Charters to anyone looking for a fantastic fishing adventure. I can’t wait to book another trip!
Thank Y’all. Glad you guys had a good time. Hope to see yall again soon.
