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.
thanks for the review i really enjoyed the trip with yall come see ma anytime and we will get a few new fish in the box
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!
thanks so much i do my best with every trip yall were on it and belive me it makes me happy to take kids fishing come see me again
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!
thanks for the review the boys were awasome come see me again
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
had a blast with you guys come see me again
We went out in the afternoon with Captain Wayde, who was great. Despite the sea being a bit rough, Captain Wayde made sure the kids all had a great time. Helping them with the rods, explaining all the different gear, and truly making the day great for our kids. Each kid caught a fish and as it goes sometimes the fish aren't biting. Despite that, the kids asked immediately once back at the car "when can we go again". I would highly recommend Captain Wayde for any group.
thanks for the review come back any time tell the girls the pirate is waiting
