This was the best possible experience we could’ve had.  Took a trip going after Snapper with my father in law and brothers, Captain Craig got us on fish immediately and we stayed on top of them the whole day.  We had our limit of red snapper within about 2 hours and spent the rest of the trip catching a few Mangroves and trigger fish.  Captain Craig was really laid back and alot of fun.  Answered all our questions, even gave us some tips for catching fish from the bank for later in the week.

If you want a great experience and plenty of fishing action, book Captain Craig and Emerald “C” Charters.

Originally booked a 6hr charter, the captain suggested we bump it down to a 4 hr charter. We were a little disappointed but it turned out… the captain knew what he was talking about! 4 hrs was all we wanted. The water was bit rough and the captain was looking out for us! Not just hanging out another 2 hrs to take more of our money and making the trip miserable.

Captain Craig worked with us to keep us on the fish. Mother Nature had given us a northern front the night before that would have made it rough offshore. Cap took us to one of his spots that kept us out of rough water and we caught our limit of snapper quickly so we could go after other species. I thank Captain Craig for helping my lovely wife try to land the big Cobia, unfortunately it ran underneath the boat and broke off. Thats Fishing! I would highly recommend Captain Craig and we hope to fish with him again.

To give some background, me and the majority of the guys I went with had never been deep sea fishing before, but we do a lot of lake fishing.  So for the most part we knew what we were doing.  But, the day we fished, was probably one the of the worst days to go fishing.  The weather was horrible, super cold and rainy.  I wasn’t expecting to catch anything because if the weather is like that on the lake, we aren’t going to catch anything.  But Captain Craig was awesome! He somehow managed to still find some good fish despite the weather.  Really great guy too, enjoyable to be around.  I am definitely going to go with him again next time I go fishing down here, just hope the weather will be a lot nicer next time!

Great experience! On time, had all supplies and bait, nice guy, and we caught several different kinds of fish! We really enjoyed our fishing trip! Craig did everything that we would have wanted someone to do to make our fishing trip great! Just wished we knew when we originally booked that he wasn’t licensed in Alabama - only in Florida.
