Background: Denis has been an Angler since he was 16 years old. He spent some of his time fishing the Atlantic Ocean off the Coast of Montauk, New York. The Shark fishing tournaments were his favorite. Denis fell in love with Destin in 2020 and was missing a boat. The Big John boat and business was for sale and the rest is history.
Techniques: Bottom Fishing and Troll Fishing the longer the trip the bigger fish.

6 Hour Bottom and Troll Fishing

They put us on the fish and we brought them in. We are not experienced fisherman and they provided clear instruction and made the experience the best! They were very friendly and knew what they were doing. Once we returned, the fish were filleted in 20 min! We had a great time and I highly recommend them!

Captain Reid, Dennis and Matt took great care of our group of 8. We lost track of all we caught, but we had a great day on the water! Our largest catch for the day was an 18.8 lb Red Snapper. We highly recommend the Big John for a positive and productive charter fishing experience!

I sent my 16 yr old son, my husband, and his dad on this trip for a Father’s Day weekend! They had an incredible time! Caught tons of fish, really enjoyed the captain and all of the information and help they offered. The fish they caught have been absolutely delicious to eat !! Would 10/10 recommend this trip!

My buddy and I took our kids out for a 6 hour trip. Although it took 2 hours to get out to the fishing spot, it did not disappoint! We caught over 30 fish in which 19 of them were keepers in just 2 hours of fishing. Capt did a great job making sure the bit stayed hot and deckhand Cory was a class act. All of us caught fish and had an amazing experience. Thanks for all the memories! We look forward to booking again in the near future!

We had a great time fishing with Big John. The boat is very comfortable and clean. The deckhand, Matt, was awesome. He was very helpful. The place is easy to find. We caught some red and vermilion snapper. I would highly recommend fishing with Big John.
