Captain Jacob made sure to take us to the sweet spots inshore. It was perfect since we were new to ocean fishing. He set us up each time we needed to cast and removed the fish for us. He even taught my kids about the fosh they caught. It allowed my husband to actually enjoy taking the kids fishing because he got to actually fish with them instead of having to tend to everyones needs. Jacob was knowledgeable, helpful, and really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and made amazing memories. Cherry on top we baited an caught a shark! We all got to touch and hold it before we threw it back. This trip is definitely one for the books. We will for sure be back for more fishing fun!

We had an adventurous deep sea outing with Emerald “C” and Captain Gavin. It was not ideal conditions with rain storms around and 3’ waves but I think we made the most of it. Caught around 20 fish total with 11-12 keepers mostly Mahi-mahi and almaco and mingo snapper. We caught a few red snapper but just under the 16” length limit. Caught some nice triggerfish but released due to out of season. Kids had a good experience even though one got sea sick. Capt cut the trip short due to storm coming at us. Graciously adjusted our total. There’s a wonderful food truck on your way out called Deep Blue. They made great fish tacos from our catch then we ate the rest later for dinner. Overall a great experience and the highlight of out trip. I would have liked to have tried live bait such as pinfish for those bigger snapper. Maybe next time.

This was my second outing with Captain Craig and the Emerald C crew.  Weather (wind) forced us to fish the west end where Capt said he hadn’t been in a while so we spent a lot of time literally hunting down fish. Also, we could only keep Vermillion snapper. Those things combined meant we didn’t bring many home. But we booted some great fun fighters like amber jack, red snapper, triggers. Had an absolute blast.
Craig and Chance, and really the while Emerald C operation, is really top notch. They know their stuff, have great equipment, awesome boats and are genuinely great folks 100% dedicated to making sure you have a great experience whether you are catching a boatload or just a few.
If you are in the GS/OB, Perdido or Pensacola area, add a charter with Emerald C. It will undoubtedly be the highlight of your trip.

My family and i got this charter and it far exeeded our expectations. Noah and Taylor put us on big fish and plenty of them! They kept the hooks baited and the spirits were high! There knowledge of the waters and fish were incredible, and were able to land enough snapper to feed us for quite a few days! They took great care in cleaning our fish at the end of our trip and sent us home with a fantastic fishing trip to tell our friends and family about. I would highly recommend using this charter and i will use it again in the future myself!…..p.s. Trigger fish are gray!
