My daughter and her 17 year old son, my grandson spent 4 hrs with Capt Chad Tuesday Dec 17th 2019.  If there were a 10 rating Capt Chad would get it.  He’s a self taught fisherman who knew at age 12 what he’d be doing.  He’s a very patient and well informed young man who devotes the time to make sure you are having as much fun as he is.  One not only fishes but gets an education in the varieties of possible fish to catch as well as explaining the good and bad of each catch and the habitat they prefer.  In the 4 hrs we fished 3 spots and caught fish at each.  Due to current regulations we kept 2 out of 80 catches.  He’d brought 100 shrimp and we used every one.  20 were nibbled off the hook. Phenomenal!  Some were salt water cat fish many Sheepshead, Red fish and a Black drum and Pompano (the two we kept) and also a Permit (a rare catch I understand). 

The boat and equipment were top notch, clean and operated flawlessly.  The 4 hrs was perfect for us and it was all about my grandson who loves fishing. 

We will book future charters with Capt Chad for sure!!!

We had a good day started a little choppy with some 4ft swells but after mid day it was perfect. Chad was great company and very knowledgeable with any questions we had. He had some good sports and we started and grabbed a few smaller fish before setting off to a little deeper water. Then we had a shark bite take half our bait and then we pulled up a 300lb Goliath. It was a great day I’d take my family again.

Even with a cold, windy and cloudy day of being the only crazy people out on the water because of the weather, we still caught fish!  Captain Chad was awesome and taught us many things about every fish we caught. Not only was it a great fishing trip.  It was also a great Marine biology lesson.  We learned something new about every fish that we landed.
  This Is the only charter I will recommend to anyone.  Thank you so much for everything!
5 stars

Even though the fish were being a bit picky, we had a great time.  The captain is great (gave it his best effort), the boat and gear are great and the seas were calm.  I lost some big fish to the rocks, we got into some mackerel action and a few keeper bottom species.
Highly recommend a trip with captain Bentley.

Could not recommend more!! Chad was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and excellent with my 11 year old. We caught a wide range of fish, even a shark! Boat and equipment were top notch. You will not be disappointed going out with Chad. Can’t wait for our trip!
