We had a great time. Charles was patient as we had a new fisherman. We caught a variety of fish. Will be booking again!

Great Captain
8 Hour Trip on February 1, 2025 • 2 adults
I average about 12 charter trips a year and vary captains quite often. Charles is one of the hardest working captains I’ve ever booked. He adapts to the variables (weather, tides, visibility, etc) swiftly and doesn’t hesitate to shift the plan when a location or approach isn’t producing. I learned a lot along the way as well.

Great trip

Capt. Charles is very knowledgeable about the area and worked very hard to find fish. I only caught 1 fish but he put me on many snook and redfish. Not catching them was on me not him.

Great morning fishing. Charles was flexible with what we wanted to do. He put us on snook, speckled trout and jacks. We tried for tarpon. He was great.

Night Tarpon and Dock Lights
4 Hour Trip – Night Tarpon on July 15, 2023
Charles is the man! He worked his butt off to get us on some fish during our short visit to the area. He knew exactly where to go and what to throw in order to get us some shots at tarpon and snook. Couldn’t ask for a more knowledgeable guy. His boat is also the coolest one you’ll ever set foot in. Decked out and as customized as they come. Will definitely be fishing with him again in the future!
