We had an amazing time on our fishing charter! Captain Q was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knew all the best spots. He made the experience enjoyable and easy to follow, even for those of us who weren’t experienced anglers.

What really stood out was how great he was with our teenagers—he was patient, upbeat, and kept them engaged the whole time. They had a blast reeling in fish and learning the ropes, and they haven’t stopped talking about it since.

The boat was well-equipped, the vibe was relaxed and fun, and we all felt safe and well taken care of. Highly recommend this charter for families or anyone looking for a great day of fishing with a captain who knows his stuff and makes it fun for everyone!!

We booked our charter to coordinate with our family trip. Mother Nature did not get the memo. With a very impressive lightning storm moving through the morning of our trip it looked like we were not going to get a chance to fish safely. Then Captain Q to the rescue. He reached out the afternoon before and made us aware of the incoming weather. He offered offered contingency plans. Communicated the morning of the trip. When the weather showed signs of a window of opportunity he immediately messaged us to make it happen. Even though we changed plans due to the weather Capt Q was ready and waiting for us at the dock. The boat was meticulously clean and well equipped. Live bait in the live well. Cut bait in the cooler. Rods rigged for the type of fish we were targeting. Everything was perfect. Once on the water Capt Q and his crew were amazing. Put us on the bite right away. My young son had never been offshore fishing so they made sure to ease him in. Before you knew it he was boating the largest fish of his life. A very large red snapper that he will remember for a long time. The crew made sure to coach him through the catch and remembered to get lots of pictures (since I did not remember). They continued to fight the choppy conditions and the hungry dolphin to keep us on the fish. We hooked multiple species through a variety of different techniques. If you’re looking for a memorable trip and an overall great experience Captain Q is your man! You will not be disappointed. We are already planning another trip.

Had an amazing fishing experience with Southern Strike.  Captain Q is the real deal - his deep knowledge of fishing, weather patterns, and the local water made a difference.  He is incredibly patient and generous with his expertise, making sure everyone was confident and had a good time.  Whether you are a seasoned angler or first timer, you are in good hands with Captain Q.  Highly recommend.

We did the night inshore fishing trip. It was myself and my kids. Captain Q was very knowledgeable about everything we needed to know. He was great with my kids and taught them the right way to catch the fish. I didn’t catch her name but his first mate was great also with us. They were very attentive to all our needs. We will definitely be back next year.

I couldn’t stress enough how much fun we had with captain Q , one of the best , if not the best , fishing trip that my family had experienced. Captain Q is a one of a kind guy , it felt like he has been in the family for years. We will be returning to Captain Q for every fishing trip we take in the Pensacola bay!!
