Tristen and Ben were awesom! boat is big and roomy so no one‘s crawling on top of each other. They had the AC cranking in the cabin for those that need to get away. They did an awesome job moving us around keeping us on fish. We ended up with more fish than we could eat. Ben the deck hand did an amazing job making sure everyone was taken care of and Hooks were always baited and offering advice along the way. Great experience for our family of all ages and would highly recommend!

Todays fishing trip with Ty and Shawn was the best part of our trip! My kids had never been on a boat before and these two gentlemen made it a fun learning opportunity. They instantly made us all feel welcome, and like we were on a boat with family. I really appreciate the extra care that was taken to ensure my kids felt safe and they both gave them the boost they needed to get out there and try something new. The kids had huge smiles on their faces and have not stopped talking about all the things they learned and loved about this fishing trip. Ty worked his tail off,and Captain kept it steady at the wheel. They knew were to go to have the best chance of catching some fish. We caught plenty of fish on our three hour tour. If you are looking for a boat that is well maintained, driven and worked by capable and kind individuals, The Boll weevil is it. Thank you to Ty and Shawn for creating a love for fishing and boating for my family. You want these guys to take you and your family fishing, trust me.

We had the best time with crew on the Southwind! Cpt. Brett put us on fish from rhe first hole all throughout the morning. We had four kiddos in our group and Deck Hands Harrison and Marshall did a tremendous job of assisting them, helping them boat rheir fish, rebait and get back in the action. We caught a ton of fish, not ALL keepers, but you aways need to leave some for next time.

The ones we did keep were great fish, including a huge, 33.5” red snapper for one of our older boys. One of the other boys caught another really nice snapper and we ended up with a mixed bag including red snapper, Spanish Mackerel, Albacore Jack and a surprise bonus, Mahi Mahi!

Would 1,000% recommend a day on the water with Cpt. Brett, Harrison and Marshall. the Southwind delivered memories our families will treasure for years to come and that 33.5” snapper will find its way to my oldest son’s wall in a few months.

Thanks Cpt. Brett and crew. you’ll see us again!

just got done with a 4 hour combo charter. this was one of the most professional crews out there. we were going to start woth trolling then go to bottom fishing. the cpt. decided last second to switch it up so we raced the other charters out to the spot. im glad he changed it up. we had 8 people fishing in our group and we hit our limit in about 40 mins. we trolled back looking for mackerel didnt catch any of those. but when you are heading back to the dock with 80 keepers thats not to disappointing. once we got back to the dock it was nice to see what experience got us other boats were coming back with a total of 14 fish. while our deck hand was cleaning our 80. both cpt and first mate were very knowledgeable and willing to share the knowledge.

We just got back from a 6 hour family trip on Captain Tom’s boat, the Fairweather II. We had 7 adults and 3 kids. The boat has a lot of room and a great wrap around deck.  We could have fit several more adults and kids if we wanted. We easily caught our limit and had several trophy fish to boot!

Tom found the fish and Brad made sure we landed them.  The deckhand, Brad, was great with our family and kids, just a great guy all around. Our haul was far better than the competitors at the dock. We’ll book this trip again. No question. Thanks for a great time!
