Captain Hank put us on the fish!
5/5
Captain Hank put on the fish! We went to a reef a few miles out and caught grouper, cobia, trout, mackerel, and many other fish. He had plenty of bait and didn’t stay in one spot if they weren’t hitting. We had a great time and brought back plenty of fish to eat!

Christian took us to an incredible spot when we caught numerous kinds of keeper fish, including snapper, sheepshead, black sea bass, hog fish, red grouper and a lot beautiful gag groupers. We even hooker into several cobias however we were unable to land any of them, no fault of the captain. All of this happened in a 4 hour trip and we had an incredible time. We are already working on planning another trip. Highly recommend, Christian is The Man!!!

If the weather would have cooperated it would be a great review. Still had a good time got us on fish mainly grunts but enjoyed fishing. Think I had a Cobia at one time but broke the line. Then we got hammered by rain. All in all good half a day trip!!!

Incredible trip!
5/5
Captain Stephen was so much fun and the trip was incredible! Our whole family of 6 fished and he kept us geared up and entertained the entire day. We started with catching sharks all around. Then we saw cobia and barracuda and even managed to hook and fight a ray! Finished it off with catching dinner (even though one of us had a little trouble keeping them out from under a rock ledge) haha! It was great fishing and we all had a blast with Steve!
