Captain Connor is a great guide.He gave us an option to fish for a targeted species. When that turned off due to the tide, he offered us another species and did his best to put us on some fish. He worked fast and hard to mke sure the fish came off the line and bait was on the hook. After the catch, he took care of the cleaning and gave us an excellent recommendation for a "You catch it, we'll cook it". Excellent service and hospitality from this captain. Next time in the area, I will definitely book another trip with him.
Captain Conor is by far one the best, if not the best family friendly captain to charter. I had a charter with him last year when i took my 4 year old nephew fishing and he made it the best charter for us. we loved it so much that I took my nieces this gone weekend. the weather wasn’t the best but he went out of his way to make sure we had a great time. we caught more fish than we thought we would ever catch. the kids want to go back again soon but only if it’s with him. he’s a great person and an even better captain who enjoys and knows what he’s doing. if you have a chance to book with him, consider yourself lucky because you’ll have the trip of your life.
I cannot say it enough- Captain Connor is absolutely amazing! We have fished with him before and both times had a great experience. This trip we took my mother and 6-year-old daughter. She had the best time. Connor took care of us like family. He constantly made sure we had bait and cast out the line. He also taught us the technique to hook the fish. He was able to explain it easily-my daughter caught many fish. He knew all the good fishing spots and kept us in the loop of the plan. We kept 6 fish that were legal size but probably caught 25-30 total. We lost count. I actually got a blister from reeling in so many fish. By far a good battle wound and story. We caught red fish, flounder, black drum, sheep head, and some others. Connor is easy to get along with and very professional. I highly recommend booking with him. We will continue to fish with him when we visit the coast.
Such a great trip! My wife booked this charter for my birthday, and it was the perfect way to spend the day with a few of my buddies. We caught white trout all day and had an awesome time. The captain knew exactly where to put us on the fish and made the whole experience fun and easy. Couldn’t have asked for a better birthday. Highly recommend!
Captain Connor was very knowledgable about where to fish, how to fish and put us on the fish. We caught 2 redfish, several catfish and white trout, 2 sharks and a flounder. we caught 58 fish. Be was very outgoing and funny. A great trip. I highly reccommend Captain Connor and Backyard Charters. W e will definetly be back.
I went by myself with him. I told him I don’t care. Let’s just go catch some fish. Literally for an hour he would hand me a baited pole after I reel one in. I never had time to bait a hook, We were catching so many fish. His new nickname is “Dad.” I may have accidentally stabbed him with a catfish.
captain Conner was a excellent guide. he was very knowledgeable of how to catch fish. we caught a limit of redfish and some mangrove snapper. I would recommend captain Conner for anyone wanting to have a good time.
Captain Connor was really friendly and man just felt like one fo the boys to hang out with. He put us on a lot of fish and made sure to let us know how and what to do to get us on a good amount of fish!
Capt. Connor went above and beyond to put is on Tripletails. This has been on my Bucket list forever, and thanks to Capt. Connor my list has another ✔️ off. not just 1 but 7 caught.
our captain was wonderful. He kept us in poles every time we broke the line shrimp bait. Everything we needed encouraged us taught us technique. Highly recommended.

Had a great day with yall! Glad yall enjoyed it. I look forward to taking yall fishing again in the future!

My husband and i went with some friends. We went on the 7:30 am trip. we had a rough start actually catching fish (which wasnt captain connors fault what so ever, those fish were finiky) but towards the end we were pulling them in every other rip. Captain Connor was by far the best captain we have had on any charter or trip. He made the trip so much fun, very amusing, and just overall a great time! We will be doing this again soon!

Glad yall had a great time! Come back and see me!

Captain, never lets up! Puts you in the meet. You ask and he does his best. Ask for bull reds. He does it. Excitement from the time we left the docks. Native of the area, he knows the water. Great guide for a levels of fisherman!! I am already planning the next trip!
