We absolutely enjoyed this fishing trip!!! My husband wanted to catch a Big fish and captain Steve put us right on the spot. We have caught several red snappers, jacks and possibly cobia that got away unfortunetly. First mate was working very hard from start to finish. Absolutely amazing experience and we will be definitely booking another trip on Lucky Lina soon. Thanks guys!!!

As a chance to spend some time with my oldest Reece before he leaves for Navy we booked this charter. Was a great morning to out on the water, unfortunately the fish weren’t biting as much as we would have liked but hey, that’s fishing sometimes. Only 1 other boat caught fish. Captain Steve and Kalin were very nice and professional. Think the captain was more bummed about not catching much than we were. We did catch 1 Spanish mackerel which they recommended a place to cook it for us, and it was delicious! Thanks captain Steve!  Justin Hunt

Thanks for the 5 star rating guys. Sorry we had to have us on board immediately after dry dock. Other boat yards have stopped owners from servicing their own vessels! Thus we were required to travel 60 mile round trip every day to make her shine & of course the bottom & below water line were essential. Should have topside done this week when weather allows! None the less we enjoyed taking you where there was lots of action! Capt. Steve

My wife and I hit our limit for King Mackerel in the first hour! Plus brought in a ton of tuna with the occasional Spanish. In just 4 hours, we caught over 35 fish!

First Deep Sea Fishing Trip

VERIFIED Went fishing on Wednesday, July 27, 2016

---

We go to the beach pretty much every year, so this year I wanted to mix it up some. I convinced my parents and sisters to go deep sea fishing in hopes of catching some dinner for us. We learned about Captain Steve and the Lucky Lina through a family friend who had booked him for the week before. We liked the good reviews that the boat received, and liked the fact that there was a slight percent dicounted if we payed in cash. We met Captain Steve and fill-in first mate Vinnie (the main first mate was gone for personal matters) at the docks early in the morning. As all five of us were first time deep sea fishermen we decided a four hour trip would be enough. First we went to catch bait fish, and even though Vinnie said it is “the easiest fishing you will ever do,” we didn’t have much luck. After a bit Captain Steve decided to move and start to catch the big fish, using squid as bait. Then we started reeling them in. However, most of the ones we caught were red snapper, and trigger fish. We weren’t able to keep the beautiful red snapper because our permit does not allow that. Vinnie said that we may have been able to keep a couple of them if we had been in the season, which ended July 15. The trigger fish had to be released because apparently there is a shortage in the population. If that’s true we must have caught all of the remaining population! My mom ended up catching one keeper, and I caught two. They were white snapper, and although it wasn’t much they were still delicious later that night when we cooked them up. Our trip did end up a bit short because 3/5 of us couldn’t handle the rough waters. I felt bad seeing my family members get sick because I was the one who decided that we should all go fishing. It was definitely a five star trip for me, my sister might not feel the same so that’s why I gave a 4. Captain Steve and first mate Vinnie were great, hardworking, and knew where the good fishing holes were, we were just unlucky. I would love to come on the Lucky Lina again and get another chance to catch some bigger fish for dinner. However, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to convince my family again.

HI Doublesin family! So sorry your first deepsea experience involved rougher than average seas! Well Jessia, I beleive you wrote this & you were a trooper in challenging sea conditions. If you could convince your family to return, I’d offer them 25% OFF any trip longer than 4 hours so I can give you lots of keepers! Come in june & you’d probably keep a red snapper limit too! Thanks for the favorable report & realizing bottom fishing on a four hr trip can have mixed results despite you released a bunch! Tight lines! Capt. Steven

For our first time deep sea fishing, Captain Steven did a great job finding the honey holes. There were plenty of fish out there there but as newbies we had a few missed opportunities. However we still went home with plenty of fish dinners. Calen, the first mate, did a great job keeping our lines in the water with bait. That dude works hard! We will definitely be back but next time will plan for a longer trip- 4 hours just wasn’t long enough!

You don’t need to have them listed on your site, they have a run a run down boat and did a poor job of putting us on fish to catch. They use this fishing boat as part time income, they build fences on most days, they were not in touch with other captains to get an idea of where to put us on fish. they were simply after the money! In my opinion you do a very poor job by having these people on your list we are very disappointed with the experience won’t use your site for further bookings!!!!!!!!

I’d like to use vulgar language to express how this loser reviewed me. But I’m above that. Always the 4 hour tours who expect the most!

Take your $ dollars up the hill to the fish market where you can buy imported fish! But… when the mackeral didn;t bite; I burned an extra $100 in fuel to take you bottom fishing!... but your daughters whom didn’t want to be on that trip in the first place &( yes, DAD, you forced them) NEVER CAME OUT OF THE CABIN !!!!!!  How in the world can you catch fish from the cabin??!!! I have 3 fishing boats, more federal permits than ANYONE in the Gulf! I’ve been doing this 25 years; made my living year round, Yes I build fences too.

Long story short captain Steve and deck hand Steve where great they did exactly what we wanted and he put us on fish we caught fish all day long all six guests were very pleased and had a blast on the lucky Lina despite the rough seas.

My group went fishing this past weekend and had a good time.  We caught lots of triggerfish (threw them back) and vermillion snapper.  We caught 1 amberjack and several red snapper.  Overall we did pretty good considering only 3 of us were fishing.  The other 3 got seasick from the big waves (about 6ft seas that day), but they came back around the end to catch a few fish.  The captain and deckhand were both very friendly.  The deckhand was awesome and did a great job handling our 6 person group.  The boat is a little bit older than other boats in the area, but it gets the job done.  The day we went, the wind was blowing as much and the diesel fumes from the engines were pretty bad.  With a decent breeze though that shouldn’t be a problem.  Also just a headsup, the cabin isn’t air conditioned.  That’s not a problem for most people though.  In summary, if you’re looking to have a good time with the boys and catch some fish for a decent price, this is a great boat.  If you have a group that’s not used to being on the water, you might want to consider a bigger and more comfortable boat.  Hope this helps.

Great experience for the family.  The crew was experienced, courteous and very patient with us rookies.   
We got lots of attention on the dock as well as they hung and prepped our catch, Amberjack, Mahi, Snapper.  Great Day.

Thanks guys, having lines in the water with bait on them & hands ready to real increases opportunities! Lots of folks lately simply expect the fish to jump in the boat . they forgot the luring, the hooking, the playing, then the boating that is all involved with “catching” SNOOZE U LOOZE

Not many fish, but.......

As sometimes happens when you go fishing, the weather wasn’t great and we only caught one fish (King Mackerel).  When we left the dock at 6:00 AM things looked pretty good, but we knew the weather forecast was calling for scattered showers.  We had no problem catching all the bait fish we would need, but once we headed out the storms made the sea rough and fishing was poor.  The Captain took us to quite a few areas to increase the possibility of catching something, but with little luck.  I can’t fault the Captain or his crew.  They worked hard and really put in the effort, but just wasn’t in the cards for us that day.  I am planning to return another time soon and give it another shot.  They were all very nice and their concern for safety was appreciated (In fact, they turned down the next appointment as the sea was getting worse and that group had a young child).

Hi Richard North, & thank you sincerely for realizing the truth! That is a Captain’s true job is to most importantly assure your safety!. I’m glad you recognized effort & at least we didn’t get anyone hurt & we didn’t get skunked but admittedly, conditions were deteriorating & the fishing was difficult . For this I would ADD an additional hour free of charge to make your next trip better! I rarely do this but you wrote an accurate review & had a realistic attitude & for that you are a real fisherman. One extra for you’all! Thankyou

Great time & Great crew

The captain & his first mate were excellent, very friendly & talented.  The fish unfornately were not biting but it was not their fault at all.  This just happens sometimes.  1 fish was caught & too small & had to throw back, 1 was a keeper.  1 Sail Fish was caught but the line got snapped as well as another large fish that was quite large & it too snapped the line.

I paid a lot of money to fish and spent the day on a boat ride instead.  Caught fish at the first place we stopped and should have stayed at this spot.  Was there maybe 15 minutes to fish.  After that you rode for 30-40 minutes and maybe dropped your line twice to fish. Maybe 2 minutes and then moved on again. Deck hand worked maybe an hour with cleaning the fish we caught total. Was not a hard day for him to say the least.

Again, an ignorant tourist! Your federal government (NMFS) has closed triggerfish despite they are abundant & great to consume. They are aggressive and we don’t waste are live baits when they clean the hooks on the initial drop! Since there were ONLY 2 persons, we got our red snapper limit on the first spot. If we stayed there, we would have had to throw everything back! Including Amberjack (again the NMFS closed them too!) Keep in mind I have to ration the fish off a certain spot so that we don’t KILL it! You didn’t mention the lane snapper you caught, the several white snapper & we successfully trolled & caught 3 king mackerel, all of which we retained. Many others were released because of bag limits or size restrictions. You should have saved your $ & took a party boat! What “a lot of money” to you is relative because we are the most inexpensive boat our size with 52 years combined experience.  Maybe you can kill 5 marlins in another country but factor in your travel expense to get there!  Anglers should call me direct 850 240-4664 so I can give you an honest & accurate heads-up on what to expect!

We had the best half day trip, Captain Steve and his Mate Steve was amazing.  We hit two “Sweet Spots” that both had fish biting as soon as the bait hit the ocean floor.  Thanks for such an amazing and memorable day!

As part of our family’s annual pilgrimage to the beach, we always take one day to fish. It’s always a fun day; but, this year with Captain Steve and his mate Steve was the best! Not only did we catch plenty of fish, but both the captain and the mate were extremely courteously, attentive to our needs, and hard-working. We highly recommend the Lucky Lina and Captain Steve.
