    Great Guide and Knowledge

    Half Day Trip – Bay - 2:00 PM on June 26, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

    Captain Ralph was amazing. I did a half day bay trip with my two young boys and Ralph was so patient and tried several holes. Caught flounder, trout, drum ans catfish. Had some up close interactions with sea turtles, dolphins and cabbage head jellyfish. Highly recommend Ralph and his crew.

    i’ll recommend this captain to anyone!

    Half Day Trip – Bay on March 17, 2026 • 2 adults

    Captain Ralph was awesome. We only caught one fish, but it was a great keeper. Black drum put us on a lot of fish but a cold front and Easter winds will give even the best of fisherman in trouble. The weather was better. I know we would’ve caught more, wasn’t my first rodeo been fishing since I was a kid I can tell a good captain from a bad one. He worked hard and heart conditions.
