4 Hour Trip – Inshore on August 6, 2022 • 5 adults • 3 childrenMy family and I had an amazing time with Captain Gary. His boat was very roomy and nice, and he couldn’t have been any better with the kids. We have three boys aged 10, 8, and 7 and he was so patient and good with them. I would highly recommend him and will be using him again for future trips. Thank you!

Fishing with Gary
4 Hour Trip – Inshore on May 10, 2021 • 3 adultsCaptain Gary was great. We caught a bunch of fish, the boat is phenomenal and we had a fantastic time. We have tried other charters down here but we finally found a captain who knows what he is doing. Captain Gary was laid back and just a cool person to spend the day fishing.

3 Hour Trip – Fish and Cruise (PM) on August 1, 2020 • 5 adults • 3 childrenThis was a great first time trip for our family! Captain Gary is very knowledgeable about the hot spots for fishing. He was absolutely great with our kids! He even changed his schedule around to accommodate us earlier due to a storm coming in that afternoon! Definitely recommend Captain Gary!

It was a pleasure hanging out and catching fish with Captain Gary!
The charter operator canceled 1 days prior to the trip date. This is an automated posting.
perfect day to be fishing. captain took us to the fish. very knowledgeable.
Captain Gary got us on the fish right away with a 80-100 lb. monster Goliath Grouper (had to release due to regulations), and later with a 30-35 lb. King Fish, not to mention the other smaller and midsized fish in between and the ones that broke the line. We finished the last 20 minutes catching a few fighters by the boat ramp. He delivered all 7 hours and the goods to boot. Gary finished the trip by cleaning our catch for us to take home. There was plenty of King Fish envy by others at the boat ramp. My 2 kids and I had a great time and I highly recommend to all those interested.
