We had perfect weather and caught a bunch of blues and mackerel, as well as an impressive looking houndfish. The captain tried diligently to bring us a red drum to impress my nephew, but they were elusive that day. He was thrilled with the experience, as was my niece (his mom), and we had a great afternoon! First Mate Bulldog was very attentive, friendly, and fun and provided great information about how everything worked in the trolling setup, as well as the fish-cleaning technique back at the pier. Captain Rocky showed my nephew how the navigation and fish finder equipment worked, which he loved, and gave us a smooth ride to all the 'spots'. Highly recommend this boat and crew!
My 16 year old son could stop talking about how much of a great time he had and how the crew was extremely nice and helpful. 'My son said mom you know I don't like talk but the crew was easy to talk too" I would definitely recommend them.
captain was fighting overnight storm and affect on water temp ..But trip was successful. We all caught fish ……and a 40# plus Red Drum …so fun. We experienced dolphins jumping around the boat ..we all had the best time. boat is clean and comfortable !!! Rocky and Bullfrog friendly and professional ..great way to spend the morning
Captain and his crew were awesome. First time fishers and first time on a charter. Great experience already planning another one with them!!!
We got 30 mackerel despite having to turn around and drop off a seasick landlubber. Rocky and crew have your back no matter the experience level and the boat is very wide and stable. We stayed inshore but I’m sure he does great on the open ocean too! Flawless!
