Thanks for a great fishing trip!
4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) on March 18, 20263 adults

This was our family's first ocean fishing trip. The fishing was pretty tough. Cold weather (about 40° when we left the dock), and the fish just weren't biting. Captain Charlie worked his tail off to put us on fish, trying different types of bait, moving around to different locations, etc. He was very determined to make sure we left with something in the bucket! We did end up with enough for a meal. Captain Charlie was a very relatable, down to earth guy. His communication leading up to launch time was great, and he was super responsive with any questions we had. We would definitely recommend him to anyone who is out there looking for a fishing charter!

Great Morning of Fishing
5 Hour Trip – Nearshore (AM) on May 15, 20263 adults

Had a great trip with Captain Charlie! We were not very experienced with fishing but thanks to him, we caught lots of fish and had a great time out on the water. Appreciated his expertise and knowledge of the best areas to catch different fish and we left with a great haul to cook up for dinner (with leftovers!!). Would definitely recommend him and his crew!

Weather was a bust
4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on June 6, 20262 adults

Captain Justin was awesome and worked his tail off to get us on some fish before a bad thunderstorm came in. Only downside was the weather which no one can control. Will definitely go with them again next time in Pensacola.
