Captain Chad was a very safety conscious and organized captain.  The boat was very clean an uncluttered.  Every spot we fished we were able to catch a couple fish..either Gag or Red Grouper.  Even though this was a full day trip, the time just flew by.  At one point, Captain Chad handed me a rod that had a monster fish on the line..either a shark or Goliath Grouper that had taken the grouper he had caught.  OMG…what a rush to just feel the power of that fish.  I am a pretty big and strong guy and that fish was pretty much having his way.  Ultimately and as expected since we were not fishing for those monster fish, the fish decided he had enough and just snapped the leader.  My son was able to hook into one of these monsters as well with the same result after a 2 minute battle.  Never so excited about a fish I did not actually land.  Sadly only one of the grouper was large enough (24”) to keep as wow did that fish taste good when we baked it the next day.  Probably the best thing I can say about this trip is that I would do it again without any hesitation.

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!!!

This was a trip with my daughter and wife. We were only in town for the weekend and preyed the weather to be in our favor. It was a cold windy day. However Capt. Chad did his best to keep my family entertained. The fishing was very slow. We had the odds against us this day. The wind and temp and extreme low tide were not going to keep us from finding some fish. We ended up catching plenty of different kinds of fish and my daughter landed a HUGE 15-20lb Jack to cap off the day. Thank you to Capt. Chad and his wife for a memorable day!!

It was a great day. Very friendly and Knowledgeable. Caught several species on both live bait and artificial.  Made sure we were completely comfortable and helped my non fishing GF with her fish. Great guy and would not only recommend but definitely use again. Thanks for the great day on the gulf!

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!
