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.

We had a very active trip. Seven fishermen saw constant action and we were well taken care of by Matt and Dennis. Book these guys!

6 Hour Bottom and Troll Fishing

We did the 6 hour bottom fishing trip. About 30 minutes into the trip my wife got motion sickness, they turned the boat around and were able to drop her off then we shot straight back out and were able to catch 15 keeper red snapper in 3 hours. These guys will put you on fish.

Great crew. We are now raving fans. Our seven year old granddaughter caught the biggest fish. Unbelievable first experience for her. Eleven year old granddaughter caught some big ones too. We caught our limit of Red Snapper! Can’t wait to fish with Big John again!!!!

This was our first time on a fishing charter. The Captain got us on the fish and on deck Corey answered all our questions along with keeping us baited and catching fish. The boat was clean and spacious. The experience was everything I expected. A big thanks to the Big John crew!
