Our family of four (including two kids ages 9 & 5) had a wonderful experience with Doug and his son, Jon. We now live in FL and are originally from the Midwest; it’s fair to say we are definitely not offshore fishers. :) Jon was especially patient with our little girl who wanted to ‘help’ with everything from baiting the line to reeling in snapper. Doug was fun and had several spots in mind, and he had plenty of rods, drinks, and words of encouragement to share. There were fish at every spot. We caught red snapper and now have a freezer full! The icing on the cake was when our kids saw a dolphin circling nearby and keeping watch on our boat! It was a gorgeous morning on the water that ended with a lesson on cutting and cleaning the fish, as well as our son and Doug cracking fish jokes before our son decided to sample fish eye. Gross! Better him than me! It was a fun, memorable Father’s Day weekend for all of us and especially my husband who had never been fishing for red snapper. Thank you, Doug and Jon. We will look forward to next time.

Great Captain, Great Day.  Heading out we were supposed to go on a 6hr off shore, but the wind looked a little strong and we were advised that the sea was probably going to get rough.  Instead we were offered to switch to a shorter Snapper trip.  Talk about the right decision.  Even closer in the waves we’re from time to time difficult.  My Dad, who didn’t have the best sea legs, was very thankful.  Thank you Captain Doug for watching out for us and putting us on Snapper after snapper.

Even for half a day we had an amazing trip with captain Doug! He was very attentive and took us to all the spots to make sure we all was able to catch something! Absolutely recommend this place. We will be back

This was an amazing time Captain Doug took us right to the fish!! Was very clean very laid back though I myself could not put the rods down long enough to relax every cast I was pulling them in haha but the other people with us was able to lay out and relax! I will definitely be contacting Captain Doug again to try our hand on other seasons!!!

Captain and First Mate made a maxim to provide the best experience!! Will definitely book The Six Shooter come Red Snapper Season!!
