Great experience with my som
4 Hour Trip — Bay Fishing on October 14, 2026 • 1 adult • 1 child

Bobby was great we started with catching near the rocks caught some good 22in red drummer. Also caught some bait. Then we went for the big ones. There was a wait no bites Bobby adjusted our position we waiting maybe another 20 mins then popped off 3 Giant red drummers in 10 mins my son loved it. Bobby also helped us out after. My phone died and I had left my keys and wallet in my car knowing my phone could unlock an start my car. Bobby bought me an ice chess an ice to throw over the fish. Then drove me to the gas station to get a new charger. Paid for it all in good faith. Of course I paid him back. But it was the simple act of kindness that will make me a return customer.

Great Trip with Captain Bobby catching Bullreds!
6 Hour Trip — Combo Trip on October 9, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

My boys and I had a great trip with Captain Bobby. From start to finish, we were in good hands, as he made sure we were safe and he put us on the fish early. We wanted to target redfish, and that is what he helped us catch. We hit a few good spots early catching reds, and pulled in a nice slot red. Then we had a lot of fun catching tons of bait fish to target larger Bull Reds, and that paid off. We all got to catch some amazing Bull Reds, which is just what we were seeking. So Fun! Overall, we had a great day with Captain Bobby, and will be back to see him next time.

Incredible Trip!
6 Hour Trip — Sharks on August 16, 2026 • 2 adults

We started out on a shark trip. But, because the weather was so nice Capt Bobby suggested we move around some and keep our options open. We started off catching sand trout for bait and then progressed offshore a little. We ended up catching four Cobia, a limit of Red Snapper and a giant ray. Capt Bobby is very experienced and knowledgeable. When he found out this trip was a going away present for my son that had joined the Marines he decided to make this a trip of a lifetime. He took us on a quick tour of the warships in the area and then successfully put us on fish in several different settings. It was a truly amazing and unexpected day. I highly recommend this guide.

Absolute blast of a trip
6 Hour Trip — Combo Trip on July 25, 2026 • 3 adults

I had an awesome experience with our guide. He was professional, knowledgeable, and worked hard the entire trip to make sure we had a great time. He knew exactly where to put us on fish, was patient with everyone on the boat, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. You can tell he genuinely cares about his customers and takes pride in what he does. Whether you’re experienced or it’s your first time, he’ll make sure you have a great day on the water. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun and successful fishing trip. Thanks again for an unforgettable day!

THE BEST Father’s Day Trip in YEARS
6 Hour Trip — Combo Trip on June 21, 2026 • 3 adults

Captain Bobby Hall, our guide, was professional, courteous, conscience, great company, and all round good person. He went out of his way to make sure that we were as comfortable as he could with the rain. He definitely knew his stuff. He kept us ahead of the storm and he knew where the fish were biting. And BOY were they! Our grandson caught a Trophy Trout and made a video! We had a thoroughly enjoyable Father’s Day. We could not have ask for a better host or better memories. Great day all around. Hats off to him. Thanks Cpt Bobby!!!
