Bad conditions, but great captain and trip
5/5
Our charter was the day after Destin got over three ones of rain. As that it was cold and very windy, made for rough conditions. To the rescue, Captain Tanner. He was very nice, helpful and kept us moving to try to catch fish. We know other boats that came in without a keeper, but we had four nice size redfish and black drum. We had a very good time yesterday, and ate our catch today. Yummy! Thank you Captain Tanner and Captain Blake!

Great Fishing Trip
5/5
Captain Larry was great. Put us on the fish. We limited on black drum. Would have limited on Red if the Dolphins hadn’t kept stealing our bait. Great guide. I would definitely recommend booking a trip with him.
