Great trip

5 Hour Trip – Inshore on October 15, 2025 • 2 adults

We did the 5 hour insore trip and it was great. The meeting location was easy to find and the crew was right on time. It was a fairly short trip out to catch bait and then directly to the fishing spot. With in minutes we were caughting Spanish mackerel and some ladyfish. After that we moved and hooked up on two different kinds of snapper. Following that up was a third spot that produced a pretty big red drum. Captain Gavin was great, very helpful, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this crew!!!

Our Day with Emerald “C” and Captain Garrett was GREAT!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on September 9, 2025 • 4 adults

We were scheduled for a Tuesday, Captain Craig called to let us know of “Problem Weather” on our Scheduled day and suggested we move up a day. We took his advice and were given clear directions on where to meet Captain Garret for our Trip. Captain Garrett was personable, informative and had us on fish almost immediately to start the day! We caught Mangrove Snapper, Redfish, Flounder, & Spanish Mackerel. Numerous Dolphins were spotted on the trip including the Local Celebrity Dolphin “Half Tail” ! Not only did we catch plenty of fresh fish to feed the entire group back at the condo ( and also fish to take home for the freezer ) we had a great time to boot. My Wife and I have been on several guided trips and our next trip to AL/FL coast ( Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Pensacola ) won’t be complete without a trip with Capn’s Craig or Garrett. 12/10 highly recommend!

Fun first time trip.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) on September 20, 2025 • 1 adult • 1 child

My son and I had a great time. The two guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. We had plenty of bites missed due to our inexperience, and because of smart fish. However, my son was able to pull in two Greater Amberjack with the assistance of the young man on hand for our trip. They unfortunately were not big enough to keep. Nevertheless, he had a GREAT time. And the entire family noticed the subtle joy he carried that day because of it. I am so appreciative of that. I recommend this captain and crew to anyone looking to have a good time on the water.

Grandson catches jumbo mackerel

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on May 22, 2025 • 1 adult • 1 child

Wow. I’m a 56 year old outdoorsman that’s hunted and fished from Alaska to the gulf. Wanted a boat just for me and my grandson. His first time fishing in the ocean. Garret was our captain and I couldn’t have been more pleased to have such a knowledgeable, friendly, young man to do the job. We caught fish, lost very big fish at every stop we made. Half day trip yielded a mixed bag of flounder, mackerel, mangrove snapper . Caught 2 really nice red snappers but had to release them due to being out of season. Awesome trip!

Mackerel Mania

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM) on August 6, 2025 • 2 adults • 4 children

We booked this trip for our family with 4 boys who love fishing the Great Lakes and Midwest but have never experienced the adventure of saltwater fishing. Needless to say Capt. Craig and his deckhand were beyond professional and patient. They both answered any and all questions and were extremely knowledgeable. We had questionable weather and they made safety a priority overall while making sure the boys were indeed on the fish! I cannot recommend Emerald C enough you will not be disappointed!
