We had an awesome time on this fishing trip! We were out on the water from 7am to 12:30pm (storming the last 30 mins) and stayed busy the whole time hitting multiple spots. We caught redfish, speckled trout, and catfish, plus we even got to see dolphins while we were out there. Our guide was super chill, friendly, and made the whole experience fun and relaxed. Even when it started raining toward the end, he still kept us going and made sure we finished strong. You can tell he really knows the area and wants everyone to have a great time. Definitely recommend booking with him if you’re looking for a fun fishing trip and great memories!”
We had the absolute pleasure of going deep sea fishing with Brandon, and the experience exceeded all expectations. From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized. Brandon is incredibly professional, reliable, and clearly passionate about what he does. His expert knowledge of the sea and fish behavior is outstanding – he took us straight to the best fishing spots, and it really showed in our results. The equipment was top-notch: modern, perfectly maintained, and of the highest quality. The boat itself was impressive – clean, spacious, and equipped with the latest technology, making the entire trip not only successful but also very comfortable. What truly stood out was Brandon’s attention to detail and his ability to create a relaxed yet highly professional atmosphere. Whether you are an experienced angler or a beginner, you immediately feel in great hands. Everything was handled with care, precision, and a genuine commitment to delivering the best possible experience. We can wholeheartedly recommend Brandon to anyone looking for an exceptional deep sea fishing adventure. Simply outstanding – we will definitely be back!
It was a pretty windy day and considering the morning hadn't been to good for a catching anything as the captain had said through messaging. He was still up to take us out 30 min before booking time would have expired. He was just pulling in the driveway when i booked it. He still decided to take us out due to my son being stubborn. We didn't catch any super big ones but can say that i don't know to many people who catch not one stingray but 2 stingrays in less then an hour. A few hard head cats. The captain definitely knows the waters and i would recommend him to anyone looking to fish port A. The price was fair and enjoyable experience, I will be definitely booking another trip with him come summer time. But will be doing the baffin Trip next time just ask him and he will let you know what it is.. Thanks captain my son had a great time....
We had an outstanding fishing trip and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The kids had an amazing time, made unforgettable memories, and enjoyed every minute on the water. It was a well-organized, fun outing, and we look forward to doing it again. Highly recommend for families looking to spend quality time together. 🎣
Captain Blackwood took out family of four out for a half day charter, and we had a great time! He took us to several good spots and was very patient and helpful for the novices of our group.would gladly go out with him again. We caught many redfish and speckled trout.
