Bayflats Fishing Charters 

We had a terrific experience fishing with Justin! A couple days before our trip, Justin reached out to see if we could move from the morning to another afternoon because the mornings had been a bit slower. We had to keep the morning due to our own plans but nonetheless, Justin still had us hooked up! We caught a few redfish early, even had one so big, it bent my hook and got off. Had never seen that! We collectively decided to go out to the bay with the time we had left to spot stalk Jack Crevalle! We caught 5 of these and they are incredible fighters! We had a great time looking for “violence” on the water then would shoot over and throw our line right in the middle! Not an eating fish, but pound for pound, these jacks are a super fun fight and fight above their weight! Which was about 40lbs! Do yourself a favor and book with Captain Justin! You won’t refgret it!

our trip was so fun- we loved riding in the boat, seeing the beautiful lake and marsh wetlands and catching fish. We caught enough red fish to have an awesome grilled fish meal that evening. our guide was fantastic! He was so attentive and helpful- for the girls in our group who weren’t experienced fishers, he cast our rods for us in the perfect spots and he was there to help our experienced fisherman any way they needed- snapped pictures for us with each catch- afterward he cleaned our fish and gave us a wonderful recipe for grilling them- such a fun experience for my whole family- a break from the beach and so nice

I wanted to take my 7 year old son out fishing to catch bigger fish than the bass and crappie back home. Captain Justin was awesome with pre trip communication and coordination. My son, my wife, and I did a 2 hour trip from 5:30-7:30pm. Captain Justin was so patient with my son who had a million questions. The boat and equipment was awesome! We boated 15 fish in 2 hours and kept 4. Captain Justin knew exactly where to go to get us on some fish. I can’t express how awesome the trip was and how much fun my whole family had. We will be making this an annual tradition now!

Justin was very knowledgeable, super kind, and incredibly patient and awesome with our kids. He blended into our family (me, brother-in-law, father-in-law, and 8/10 year old boys) like he was a longtime family friend. We focused on redfish and kept our limit, including one very healthy fish that came in just under the max size limit which was awesome. Also caught a huge black drum, catfish, stingrays, and even a blue crab. Great times! Would recommend. We plan to do it again next spring break!

First time fishing in Florida didn’t disappoint. Captain Justin sure did show us a good time. Although the bite was slow he never gave up on em. This guy will give it his all to get you on some good fish in good or bad conditions. Will book again if we’re ever down this way.
