The weather was great but the fish weren’t initially cooperating.  Captain Pete showed off his extensive knowledge of the Bay and connected waters and kept at it until he found the fish.

We ended up catching a wide range of fish including sheepshead, spotted trout and Black Drum.

At one of our last stops, my 8 year old daughter hooked into not one, but two giant fish.  The first 30 pound black drum we got to the boat but then it pulled the hook.  The second 35+ pound black drum initiated a run of easily 200 yards before Captain Pete ultimately decided to let it tow the boat in an attempt to wear it out.  My daughter stuck with it and reeled the fish on all by herself.  The sense of victory we all felt after a 30 minute fight on very light tackle will stick with us forever.

When asked what the best part was of a week long trip to the beach, my daughter immediately and emphatically answered “fishing with Captain Pete!”

We will definitely seek him out for future trips to the area.

Captain Pete was an amazing captain. We caught our limit in the first spot! He was very attentive and helpful and would answer any question you had. One of the best fishing charters we’ve had out here. This is definitely a trip to do if you love catching some large fish. Overall, an amazing experience

captain Pete was easy to fish with. very knowledgeable about the history of the Port St Joe area, we enjoyed hearing about it. Due to high winds we couldn’t do the offshore as we’d planned but still had a great time fishing inshore. I would absolutely recommend capt. Pete and if we ever make it to Port St Joe again he’ll be who we continue to use.

Captain Pete was pleasant, courteous, helpful, and informative. My daughters and I had a wonderful time fishing and conversing with Pete throughout our trip. We caught a variety of fish and the boat was spacious and well kept. I wish we would have purchased the extended fishing trip. We will certainly call on Bounty Bay PSJ Charters when we come back this way.

Captain Pete did an excellent job! Would highly recommend him to anyone. We were able to change our date due to weather conditions and he was very accommodating in changing the plans. He is very knowledgable in many different types of fish and how to catch them. Was very attentive to bait all our hooks and just letting us pull them into the boat one after another. The fish were biting great and it was a perfect day of fishing. Will use him again in the future for family fishing trips! Thanks Captain Pete!!
