Caught Red Snapper, Triggerfish (1/4" too short). Captain played video games on his phone a lot during a $900 trip. ???? Deck hand was very nice and sociable. However, they stopped to purchase live bait and he was the only one who used it obviously he caught mor thanus, but I didn't want to take ove reeling a fish I hadn't hooked. yes, w caught fish, mostly what I call bait fish, but he hooked a nice snapper and Gag Grouper (not in season) so we had to release it. videoed dolphin jumping in the wake on trip out.
We really enjoyed our deep sea fishing trip with Captain Bryan and First Mate Eddie! We had four of our five sons with us – from ages 21 to 15 – and they all had a good time. My husband probably enjoyed it the most, however. He is an avid fly fisherman, and Bryan allowed him to bring his fly rod on the boat (usually a no-no) to check off a bucket list to-do. When Eddie wasn't seeing any Kings or Reds for bottom-fishing, Bryan charted us to a buoy teeming with Mahi. We then CAUGHT 47 MAHI! My husband and sons were reeling in at least three rods non-stop during our outing. The waves do get rough on the way out – it's a little unnerving until you realize Captain Bryan is completely calm and commanding. The boat was comfortable for our group of 6, including the cooler cabin where we could get out of the sun as needed. Eddie was extremely personable and actively made sure everyone had fun. NOTE: We all took the non-drowsy dramamine an hour before departure. We think it helped. My husband, who has a history of motion sickness did not get sick. However, two of our sons did end up with brief bouts. (They were also the only two without food in their stomachs, which could be related.) Highly recommend taking the dramamine as a precaution. We did not experience any side effects from it. And remember to keep an eye on the horizon to avoid motion sickness! We would definitely book this charter again.
We caught over 40 fish. The sea was still very choppy so we didn't get to go out very far, as our children are still young.Though, the captain and deck hand were great. We did the 3 hour trip and we got to compete with the dolphines to catch our fish so it was fun for the kids watching the dolphine chase after our fish. We were able to get our fish that we kept processed at the marina. The fish that we didn't keep the kids got ro feed to the pelicans and cranes.
Great crew on a great boat! We wanted something with a cabin so my son could escape the heat a little bit. salt shaker and the crew were the perfect fit! we caught plenty of fish but that wasn't the point, my seven year old son had a blast and the deckhand was very helpful with him! definitely recommend!

Panama City Beach, Florida, United States
Captain Bryan Clackler was born a fisherman. He grew up in Alabama, where he used to fish and hunt almost every day: there were always ponds, rivers, and creeks to explore. For Bryan, catching fish and finding new places was never boring. But it wasn't until he felt the taste of saltwater fishing in the Gulf of Mexico – Captain Bryan was hooked and, when he was 20, he moved to Panama City Beach and started a successful charter business. With an excellent reputation and vast knowledge, Bryan has been guiding his friends and clients for over a decade.
