Had 3 teenage girls and a 9 yr old. Captain Wayde was awesome with the kids. I offered to help and he let me to an extent but still took care of me as well. We got some B-Liners for the box and I told him I wanted a grouper. He move locations and said here's your grouper. Sure enough, they were there. Caught several and a bonus Amberjack. Finished with a storm hitting us as we were headed in. Storm was pretty bad but Captain Wayde was on top of it. We felt safe the whole time. He had a great personality and treated my kids really good. I'd highly recommend Captain Wade and Unorthadox Charters to anyone wanting to get out on the water and have a great time.
Captain Wade was great! Super quick in responding to messages, easy guy to talk to and a killer one man crew, highly personable! We did the 3 hour early morning trip to see how my boy would like it (first fishing trip) and he absolutely loved it cause Captain Wade put us on fish pretty dang quick and the bean bag chairs was a nice additon for a comfy ride for kids (or anyone for that matter!) Aside from my son, we initially had 4 adults and made a last minute change literally 12 hours prior to the trip and Wade responded quick when I asked if it was ok.. worked our great as the boat was good for 6. All 6 of us pulled in multiple fish and had a great day! Book with Unorthodox Charters if you got kids or if you just want some fresh dinner on the line!
Wayde has the patience of a saint. I have three boys (7,9,and 12). They warmed up to him quick and we were all joking and having a good time. Each of them caught a fish (two black tip sharks and a red snapper.) I caught a four and half foot hammerhead! We saw dolphins, a sea snake, and various crabs. Wayde even caught a big crab when he was checking the bait. He has a lot of knowledge about the area and the wildlife. He put bean bags up front on his center console boat which were a life saver because near the end I got to be a little sea sick and could lie down to shrug it off. If we come back to the Emerald coast next year I will try to book him first!

we had a beautiful day with water like glass. we caught our limit in Red snapper real fast. then we moved to find other species. we caught a huge Lane snapper and a Red grouper at next stop. in between we trolled up some nice Bonita and a Spanish mackerel. when not catching snapper we were constantly catching Trigger fish. unfortunately just out of the slot. it was continuous action. we even had time to hit a wreck to search for some Amberjack. they were there and we hooked up with a keeper but he was to much a beast and broke us off. great way to finish the day. i was spent. look forward to my next time down to book with Wayde!
The captain was a nice guy, very knowledgeable ,and was determined to put us on fish. we had originally booked a shorter trip but I messaged the captain prior to the trip with what we wanted to catch. He recommended a slightly longer trip to accomplish what we wanted to do and very glad we did go with the longer package. We go out again here in Panama City Beach we will be looking to book with him again. We will be recommending anyone we know to book with Unorthodox Charters
captain wayde was a top notch guy he was really friendly with us he talked to us the whole time made the learning process really quick and easy he had a really nice boat id recommend this trip for anyone especially childern or teenagers he id a faimly guy and loves to see kids enjoy fishing when you book this trip you should definitely get ready for a good time cause your gonna have one we will definitely be back to see hik again also really great prices
My husband and I took our two teenage boys on this trip and they had so much fun! Captain Wayde knows exactly where to find fish and how to catch them! There are several trip options to choose from depending on what’s best for you and how long you want to be on the boat. Highly recommend hats, sun shirts and sunscreen.
We had so much fun! We took our 15, 11 and 8 year old out and everyone caught fish and had a blast! Our 8 year old daughter caught more fish than anyone and our boys caught some small sharks! Captain was teaching them stuff and showing them cool parts of the shark before releasing it. Highly recommend!!
my family has the pleasure of taking a night shark fishing trip with Wayde. highly recommended. He was very knowledgeable and great to just chat with. We bought Grouper, Snapper, Sharks, and the memorable hammer head shark. thank you for being a great captain. Also the sunset makes for great pictures.
we had an awsome time on are charter, the captins were very funny and tought us a lot about the fish, the water, and the boat. and most of all they put us on a lot of fish! I would highly recommend this trip for anyone who is looking for a great time on the water to catch some fish. and they also showed us some dolphins which was a Awesome bounes on are trip and made the wifes very happy! i definitely couldnt recomend them enough!
