Fishing with Craig

Craig and Chance were amazing. Our family had a great time. Although we only caught 10 "keepers" we caught a variety of other fish that just didn't meet the measurements needed to be kept. Captian Craig was absolutely wonderful, changing fishing spots when our luck ran out at the current spot. We would definitely recommend them and plan to use this charter for future trips.

EXCELLENT CHARTER!!!

This was by far the best private fishing charter I have ever experienced. Captain Criag and Deck Hand Spencer were amazing, putting us on fish immediately with the first cast! In addition to the great fishing experience, we viewed sea life such as leatherback turtles and dolphins. We will definitely be back next year!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM)

Excellent!

VERIFIED

This was our first saltwater charter. Originally booked for the afternoon the captain called me the night before and recommended, if we could, come early in the morning because that's when the fish were biting. We agreed, arrived at zero dark 30 and he was ready to go. Captain is personable, instructive. Knows his business. We began catching bait fish and went after some Spanish mackerel, which were excellent eating by the way. Then went out into deeper water and caught a couple of bull drum. Great experience. Originally booked for four hours, we went out about 5 1/2! I'm looking forward to my next charter with him.
