    Great fishing experience

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    My wife and I had a great time. We caught four keeper trout and two nice in the slot redfish as well as lots of smaller trout that were too small to keep but kept it interesting. Can’t say enough good things about the captain who was very helpful and even gave us some extra time. He was ready to go when we got there at 6:35 so we left early and stayed out a little longer since we’re catching fish. We will book with him again in we get back in the area.

    great experience

    Half Day Trip • 3 adults • 1 child

    took my wife and 6 year old grandaughter. my grandaughter got to reel in an 18" speckled trout. My wife was not looking forward to the excursion but afterwards said she had a lot of fun and would do it again. our captain Skylar was very friendly and knowledgeable abut fishing that just added to the whole experience. we were able to catch some speckled trout and afterwards captain Skylar even recommended a great restaurant where we could take our catch and they cooked it up for us. a special treat was captain Skylar spotted a pair of dolphins jumping in the water on our way in. his boat has shade and a private potty if you happen to need one. highly recommend.

    Unforgettable Trip!

    Half Day Trip • 5 adults

    Captain Skylar gave us an absolutely unforgettable day on the water! From the moment we left the dock, his knowledge, professionalism, and enthusiasm made the trip a fantastic experience. He knew exactly where to go and worked hard to keep us on the fish all day. We caught an incredible variety, including speckled trout, redfish, black drum, and even a hard-fighting crevalle jack that made for an unforgettable battle! Captain Skylar was there every step of the way with helpful tips, encouragement, and a great attitude. Whether you're an experienced angler or it's your first time fishing, he makes sure everyone has an amazing time. The boat was spotless, comfortable, and well-equipped, and Captain Skylar's friendly personality made the trip even more enjoyable. We couldn't have asked for a better day or a better guide. If you're looking for an exciting, successful, and memorable fishing charter, Captain Skylar is the one to book. We can't recommend him highly enough and are already looking forward to our next trip. Five stars all the way!

    Laid back family fun!!

    Half Day Trip - 1:00 PM • 2 adults • 1 child

    This was our kids’ first experience bay fishing and Captian Skylar made it so much fun! He was great with the kids and explained everything to them, from how the currents and wind can affect fishing to how certain fish prefer different kinds of bait. My son actually learned a lot! The fish weren’t as active at first but he went out of his way to try all the spots to make sure we caught as many fish as possible! The boat was clean and comfortable and the shaded canopy was definitely a plus. He made our comfort top priority. Would highly recommend this trip and will definitely be booking with him again!

    Family Friendly!

    Half Day Trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Wilhite was an outstanding captain and guide. We brought our two boys, ages 6 and 7, on their very first fishing trip, and he went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable, welcomed, and had a great time. He patiently walked them through the fishing process and kept them engaged throughout the trip. He was also friendly and personable with my wife and me, making the entire experience enjoyable for our family. His boat was clean, well-maintained, and clearly cared for. Best of all, we hit our limit! We highly recommend Captain Wilhite and look forward to fishing with him again.
