    A nonstop bent rod afternoon!

    4hr Near Shore pm • 3 adults

    This was our first charter with Cpt. Vashon. When the NWS posted gale warnings for the day of our charter I had some concerns but Cpt.Vashon was on top of it with excellent communication and arranged a different day and time. He and Devin were on time and fully prepared with a beautiful boat. Our near shore charter was great with plenty of seabass, mackerel and bluefish providing an almost nonstop bent rod afternoon. My son did catch a redfish but it had to be released due to size (too big). We brought home a cooler full of cleaned fish and Cpt. Vashon provided a full bag of ice for the trip home. We all had a great afternoon and look forward to future charters. This was our third charter along the GA coast and so far the most successful. Highly recommended.

    Brunswick Fishing Trip

    6 Hour Trip –Wreck/Reef/Offshore AM

    I live in Ga. this was a local fishing trip from my wife. I recommend using Captain Vashon for next inshore/offshore experience. He will put on the fish and have you catching fish or getting great bites from the first time you drop your line in the water. Them it's up to you to show your skills, but he will assist in helping if needed. His price is very reasonable. He is my go to guy in Ga. and far the best charter I've used thus far.

    Response from Captain

    thank you rob, we greatly appricate it from a felow local. and hope to see you all again. see what the next line of funny stories we can share.

    R-5 Naval Tower: Fishing Trip

    8 Hr Trip–Fishing R5 Naval Tower AM

    This trip was incredible. The captain and the first-mate were very relaxed and one is a former-army engineer. Being a Veteran myself, and two of the others attendees we all clicked instantly. My wife and I enjoyed the weather, laughing at a shark tearing apart her catch, and seeing who could catch more. I would 10/10 recommend this trip to anyone who wants to get back on the water and enjoy fishing again.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you, Blain. yall were an awesome group and 100% a trip for the book between the back large black sea bass and the red snapper wearing yall out and the pricless reactions. its was great. we hope to see yall again soon.
