Full Day Trip – Inshore

I booked this trip because I had it on my bucket list for years. What i got was a huge disappointment. Leading up to the trip I was texted photos of target fish. What I got was far from that. I understand its fishing and your not guaranteed anything. We were not even put in the position to catch these fish. The substitute captain is NOT a inshore captain. Those are his words not mine. So I feel like I was ripped off on my one and only experience of fishing Venice LA. I would not recommend anybody... More

Clayton, again, I apologize that your trip with us did not meet your expectations. Scott was under the impression that he would have two anglers each day of your charters. There were five people in your party instead of the two for whom your trip was booked for. I’m not sure how I missed this. But it happened, and I’m sorry. It was Scott’s decision not to take you nearshore fishing due to safety concerns. I will never force a captain who works for me to go out if he feels... More

It was Scott’s decision not to take you nearshore fishing due to safety concerns.

I will never force a captain who works for me to go out if he feels unsafe.

I told you that if you gave us another chance, I would work out a deal with you from one of our Louisiana or Florida locations.
Again, please feel free to reach out to me on my cell if you need to discuss this matter further.

Drove from Florida to experience a fishing trip like this. Caught more fish then I ever have and some PBs. The whole family caught fish! This was a trip my family will plan to make every year!

Full Day Trip – Inshore

Awesome fishing guide

Really great guide that I have fished with on 5 different trips. We always catch a lot and its a great time. If you bring a banana, the captain will give you a discount. We catch a lot of big reds, flounder, trout, and even snapper. Great fishing for small groups.
