The trip started off extremely fun.  I’ve been deep sea fishing in the late 90’s and that will be hard to top. My oldest has been deep sea fishing and loves to bass fish at the house, he said this trip seemed slow on catching fish. My youngest son has never been fishing in the gulf and he loved every bit of the trip. Lastly a friend of my child came with us and this was his first time on a boat to go fishing, and he off course loved the beginning but lost interest when the biting stopped. We fished near an oil rig in the Gulf, and after about 30 minutes the fish stopped biting. We moved around the oil rig to different areas with no luck.

Overall, the trip was fun as it was for all the boys. For our future trips we will stick with Red Eye boats. The best thing to do is call Red Eye Fishing direct, or send a message to a Captain to avoid the extra charge from Fishing Booker and to get a cheaper rate.

We went nearshore fishing last year and the trip started fast but ended slow. This year we were hoping for something different. The nearshore water was too rough at the pass so the Captain said we can do inshore, in the bay. I’ve never fished inshore but my response was as long as my son can catch fish we would be good. Over a 4 hour trip we caught 4 fish and kept two.  We ran aground due to the tide moving out and I had to get in the water to help free up the boat. After we returned only one fish was cleaned and we only got half of the filet. As I was paying the final amount I noticed the other filet still on the table. I wouldn’t recommend inshore fishing unless you want to do bass fishing. We have a lake behind our house that we can bass fish in.  Lastly, after we got back to the beach, my son caught 7 fish in 1 hour from the shore with frozen shrimp from Walmart.

Cade and Little Red took me and my sons on a late afternoon 4hr trip. We caught our limits on Red Snapper and caught a few Spanish Mackerel as well. We 100% recommend these guys to anyone headed down to the gulf. Cade taught us sea-fishing techniques without making us feel like we didn’t know how to fish. Thanks!!!

I took my son and daughter out with Captain John.  We had an awesome day catching redfish and speckled trout.  My daughter caught huge redfish and my son caught his largest fish ever.  John was great.  He put us right on the fish and the action was good for the whole trip.  It was a day to remember for us.  Thanks John!
