Capt. Hunter will have you sightseeing and fishing in and the bountiful Choctawhatchee Bay. He'll guide you expertly towards your target species, which could include Redfish, Speckled Trout, Black Drum, Spanish Mackerel, Jack Crevalle, and Sharks. If there's a specific fish you'd like to target, just let him know.

Each trip includes all the gear, bait, and lures you'll need for a fun and successful day on the water, and your captain will also clean and bag your catch for you at the end of the day.

    4th Generation Captain

    4 hour inshore fishing trip on June 5, 2026 • 5 adults • 3 children

    Tucker is 4th generation captain and it shows. Great gear, knew all the best spots and put us on with 2 snappers one at 24 inches but wrapped around a log. We did bring in 14 cats that put up a great fight for our boys. Highly recommend as he is great with kids.

    2 Hour Kids Trip with Captain Hunter Ray

    2 Hour Trip (PM) on March 16, 2021 • 4 adults • 2 children

    We have young kids (5&7) that love to freshwater fish in MN. They have never had a saltwater experience. This trip was perfect! They loved every minute and will remember it forever. We caught reds, but the kids were more fascinated by the catfish and stingrays. It was great!
