Too cloudy
4 Hour Trip (AM) on August 5, 20253 adults

It was too cloudy for a good day catching Cobia. But my son did catch a keeper when the sun did peak through the clouds. The Captain went out of his way trying to get us hooked up again but no luck. Grayson his 1st mate was super. We had the fish for dinner and it was really good. Thanks you guys for making it a very special time with my son's.

Prime Time cobia & red drum on May 18, 20252 adults

I went in a 8hr near/inshore trip. The bait equipment and cree were great just had a tough time getting fish to bite. Of the time spent on water about 6 hours was driving for sight fishing or getting to and from the boat dock. Beyond that not much trolling happened and we bottom fished for alittle more than 1 hour. A total of 3 fish were caught,Spanish mackerel, cobia and Red drum. For a total rod in hand time of about 2 minutes. I would have liked to have more time with my hands on the pole weather throwing lures. Bottom fishing or free lining live bait.

Great Trip
4 Hour Trip (AM) on September 28, 20245 adults

Booked a trip for my buddies bachelor party. Captain Robbie was extremely accommodating for my friends and I. We had 5 people and there was plenty of space for us to sit or stand. There is also some shade on the boat which is a huge plus. As soon as we dropped our lines we started catching massive red drum all of us caught citations. Captain Robbie is a great guy and makes the whole experience very fun, I will definitely book again. If you’re looking for a fishing charter look no further. Book a trip

Great Day of Fishing
3/4 Day Trip on June 3, 20242 adults

Capt. Robbie delivers again. A great day of fishing with 4 "bull reds" and 10 Cobia - including 2 citation reds and 1 citation cobia (51 inches). While we caught 10 (an amazing day by any standard), the cobia were a bit finicky, having spotted more the 2 dozen that didn't seem interested. But Robbie and mate (Nathan) delivered with spot casting and expert jigging to get hooked up! The trip was excellent, and I highly recommend this Capt. Robbie to everyone.
