He is a tournament winner angler, who has fished for Marlin, Redfish, Cobia, and an array of inshore species. If he doesn't put you on fish then no-one else will!
Keepin It Wet Charters will take you out aboard a 24' Fish Master center console. The boat was built in 2014 and can accommodate up to 4 anglers. It comes powered by a 200 HP Yamaha 4-stroke engine and can cruise at an impressive speed of 38 knots. In fact, the boat can almost fly!
The center console is outfitted with electronics, a wireless trolling motor, and 2 live wells loaded with bait. You will be provided with absolutely everything you need to make a great catch possible. The only thing that is not included in the price of the trips is lunch.
Check the bite close to shore or venture up to 9 miles out to add a few more species to your list. Target Sheepshead, Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder, Triggerfish, Spanish Mackerel, Mangrove Snapper, Jack Crevalle, Kingfish, Cobia, Amberjack, and Red Snapper when the season allows.
Book a trip, hop on board, and enjoy fishing.

we started with inshore and then quickly ajusted to offshore to find more fish. Gene was great, nice guy, easy to talk to and knew the area by heart. Nice rods and reels, and very nice boat! couldn’t have asked for more.
Thankyou William . You guys made the trip.Great to meet yall and hope to see you next year
Gene was a great captain. Got us on multiple reds, i screwed up and lost a big slot fish. Caught hogs, specks, black grouper and skipjacks. I would reccomend for future trips.
Thankyou very much Bob.Enjoyed fishing with you and your daughter.
This is our 2nd year going out with Capt. Gene and we had another great time. We caught a variety of fish, including red and black snapper. We fished in a variety of locations including a crater and a few sunken ship sites. Gene has all the gear and bait ready to go and will move/relocate when the bite is slow and makes a n effort to ensure you are catching fish.
Didn't catch many fish, but had fun anyway. Wife thoroughly enjoyed it. Gene had lots of patience with me as I'm not the fisherman that my wife is and I'm not ashamed to admit it. We would love to go again with Gene and highly recommend him to others.
Gene is super friendly and knowledgeable. Gene was able to take us on a great fishing trip as well as show us some historical/local relics. Gene is passionate about what he does and it shows through and through. If you have a question about anything, this man has the answer. Will definitely be booking again! 11/10 Trip!
Thanks guys.Had a great time myself.
