Outstanding Capt & Charter

Half day 6 hours trip on October 7, 2023 • 2 adults

From the start of the day to the end, Capt Cortez was phenomenal! During our charter, we had some unexpected windy - windy conditions and you could tell Capt Cortez was a master of his domain behind the wheel of his boat.  He was able to keep us in perfect positions to catch fish and safe in the rapidly moving water.

As a bonus we saw the compassion of the Capt as he was able to help a couple jet-skiers who fell off and were separated from their party. With their jet-ski moving farther away, we scooped one up, while another boat picked up the other and reunited them with their vessel. Surely this could’ve ended badly if not for quick thinking of Capt Cortez and others like him.

No doubt we will be booking again with Capt Cortez in the new year to catch those monster Redfish and Black Drum.  Thanks again for the great time & great conversation!

Tough Day Pays Off

Half day 6 hours trip on March 12, 2023 • 2 adults

From start to finish Capt B made our trip memorable and exciting.  The tackle was perfect and provided worry free casting and retrieval.  Capt B had some tried and true tricks that put us on the fish. 

Usually an unsuspected North wind shift would kill the trip, on the contrary, Capt B re-racked and put us right back on the fish.  

Finishing up, there is a fish cleaning service back at Marker 37 dock that made quick work of the fish cleaning.   Thank you B

It's always a pleasure fishing with a new customer.  Having a customer knowledgeable in fishing and having fun is what it's all about. At the end of the day we had a great fishing experience and where a customer became a friend.  Thank you for booking your trip with me.

Had a GREAT TIME!

Half day 6 hours trip on August 20, 2023 • 2 adults • 1 child

Took my son and my grandson out with Captain Cortez. His communication was great.  He was very friendly, very patient. He is engaged with everyone.  Though we got off to a slow start he kept everyone engaged. We ended up with some good fish in the boat. Then Captain  Cortez recommended a good place to cook it. Most importantly he made sure my Son and Grandson had a good time. We will definitely  be back !!!
