Half Day Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 4, 2025

Captain Wyatt was great, highly recommend his services. He arrived early and boat was in terrific shape. Captain Wyatt is personable and friendly. Just a slow bite all day, we did have success early but it tailed off very quickly. Captain Wyatt had a great attitude and worked extremely hard getting us in different spots and trying different baits and lures. Seemed other boats were also struggling to get fish, I believe it was just a very slow day on the water. But I would definitely recommend Captain Wyatt and plan on booking him again.

Captain Wyatt is a very experienced captain and knows how to put you on top of the fish. He's constantly trying new rigs and different bait and lures to find the perfect combo. He also fileted all our keeper Speckled Trout pefectly. The fish were delicious. We had a great time.

Captain Wyatt put us on some monster amberjacks

Full Day Trip – Nearshore on May 31, 2025

Captain Wyatt is very good at demonstrating how to use all of the equipment and teaching the technique of jigging. We caught a few of our fish on offshore jigs. Super cool! Great captain, great boat, and great trip. Highly recommend!
