4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM)
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!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM)
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.

6 Hour Trip Offshore
We had such a phenomenal time with Captain Craig and Justin! From the minute we got on the boat until walking away at the dock they were incredible. We limited out on Mingos and were able to hook up on a couple larger fish, including a red snapper, amberjack and even a barracuda. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially with it being one of our group’s first deep sea trip. We will definitely be back for another go at it with Captain Craig!

4 Hour Trip – Inshore (AM)
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!

This outfit, our crew. Was absolutely perfect. They give you the absolute best chance to catch fish with no excuses.

Beautiful fish with great photo opportunities very knowledgeable, staff and the best customer service money can buy just an absolute amazing day on the water, even if the weather does not always cooperate. made friends for life.
