It was a tough Saturday fishing in early August.  We started at 6AM to avoid the weekend crowd as much as possible.  Storms early and then stagnant heat later. Little/no wind or current to get the fish going.  Boats everywhere by 9AM.  Captain Clay did a great job explaining to us novice gulf fishermen the proper technique to catch the Mangrove Snapper and then Speckled Trout we were after.  We moved to multiple spots trying to find the fish. We missed several due to our bad habits (bass fishing hooksets, etc) and had only 1 fish in the boat at 10AM between the 3 fisherman.  Clay took it upon himself to stick with us till the fish turned on.  We caught 6 Mangrove in 15 minutes (even doubled up once) and closed the trip on a high note.  Could have caught at least 15 if we did our part well and made every bite count but that’s on us.  Regardless, we ended up with enough great tasting snapper (that Clay cleaned for us) for dinner.  Overall, Clay did a great job, was a great teacher and guide, and made a tough day fishing very enjoyable for 3 generations of my family (my 67 yo dad, my 15 yo son, and me).  I’ll definitely give Clay another call next time I want an in-shore trip.  Thanks Clay for the experience and memories.

We had such a great time! This was one of my favorite fishing experiences. My son also rates this at the top. It was a beautiful and calm day and we caught our limit for both speckled Trout and redfish. Clay was fantastic! He knows his craft and I definitely learned a few things! Super nice guy! I’ll be going out with him again next time I’m in the area. I highly recommend you do the same. He will put you in position for success. Great teacher!

Thank you to the great reviews, I chose Capt Clay and and the excellent reviews were true. On a day where the fishing report was poor, Capt Clay still managed to get me to the fish. He truly knows what he is doing. Proof of that was from the rest of the Charter Captains…... Captain Clay’s cell rang at least 7 times from Captains looking for the fish while I caught my limit. Capt Clay .Choose Capt Clay, ill be back in Sept 2020 to catch more with him.

We booked a last minute half day trip with Clay for myself and my girlfriend’s 9 yr old son. The weather(wind) was not ideal, but that day was the only chance we had before heading home. Clay was able to put us on some fish even though we were constantly fighting the wind and current. We had a blast the entire time. Clay is a stand up guy and really good with children. I would highly recommend booking with Clay!

Great morning of fishing fun on inland waters. Everyone enjoyed the trip, and our 10 year old daughter caught the most fish. Capt. Clay worked hard to make sure we all caught fish, and he gave us all personal attention and instructions. All we had to do was have a great time catching mangrove, redfish, and spanish mackerel.
