Captain Charley was a pleasure to fish with. He put us on fish and we had an active morning, coming home with dinner for the family and then some. The kicker was just before time to head back we got a bite on a live bait line. I took the rod and ended up landing a Snook of a lifetime! Captain Charley estimated it to be 45 inches and I can tell you it was deep into the 20 pound category if not hitting 30+. I’m still in shock… and thinking about an in-season trip. Wow!

What a fantastic day of catching fish. Captain Charley and 1st mate Kevin are clearly the best at what they do. This was definitely the best day of charter fishing i have ever had and that’s because of the experience and knowledge of Captain Charley and Kevin. Great day guys thanks.

Charley and first mate, Kevin, were great at doing their best to get fish on our lines. Although we had booked an inshore 1/2 day, they first took us out of PSL for some close-in offshore to a reef for some bottom fishing (some bites, but no catches). On the way back in to the intracoastal we had a big (still not sure what) fish break the line on rocks—whatever it was, it was big and fast! Once back inshore, we fished a cove, under a couple bridges. We lost another couple of bigger fish that broke the lines bringing them in. Ended up with a couple of smaller fish in the boat for the day, but learned a lot about fishing these waters. Oh, and the music playlist was great!! We will be booking another trip.

One of my favorite fishing charters I’ve did, from michigan to here I’ve did most charters. So we started off slow not getting hits on our troll lines, captian went to fishing off bottom, to jigging, to continuing to troll. One thing wasn’t going great he switched up to give us a better chance. 5 people fishing with no fish in 1st 3 hours, finished with 4 fish in boat in rough boating conditions. Shows that he’s not just here to collect $ but give customers a fun an successful trip. Only note I’d give other people, bring something to stay dry traveling out far, water splashed good an you will get wet.

Are you looking to hook as many fish as possible?
Are you hoping to make memories that last a lifetime?
Do you want to put the biggest smile on your family’s face?
If you answered yes to any of the above, you can stop your search and BOOK NOW!! We are already planning our next charter with Charley (Kevin, our first mate was also amazing)!
As a mother, spending time with my teens is so important and this was the best time spent!! The smile on my son’s face was priceless!!
Charley and Kevin made sure we caught as many fish as possible, and more species than I have ever seen!! Everything about this charter was above and beyond from start to finish! The boat was spotless, they had more than enough live bait, supplied the best music, were so patient and fun with my 14 year old son, kind, respectful, hard working, funny, and just an all around great time!! After fishing a variety of spots and catching more fish than I have ever caught before, they even cleaned our fish and suggested the best restaurant to prepare our dinner - it was incredible!!
I can’t think of one thing that would have made this trip better! They were exceptional!!
Do yourself a favor and book now before I tell all my friends and family and they beat you to it!!!
