My father was a fisherman and built his own boats with each one getting larger . He built them starting in New Orleans, Louisiana and then Biloxi, Mississippi. I helped him build the last several boats. They were all charter boats. I started fishing with my father from an early age which was before I became a teenager. I love fishing and my children have their own charter boats now also. OCTOBER RODEO IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER! EXCITING FUN SO BOOK YOUR TRIP SOON!

    Family Fun in just 4hrs!!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 5 adults • 3 children

    The family and I had a blast catching a large variety of fish; red snapper, lane snapper, spanish mackerel, northern markerel, and bonito! Captain Harold and his crew were all hands on deck the whole time especially Dominic, he was on it. definitely recommend for families or anyone who’s looking to catch fish. We will be using them again when we come back.

    Great Captain Crew

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 6 adults

    I’ve been out with captain Herold before and he’s a great captain along with his crew. There is a solid history here. You will find a very professional, hard working crew. Him and his crew pride themselves with helping you catch some good fish along with having a great time. This is the captain and crew you want.

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Gray Triggerfish

    Great first trip!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adults

    This was the first deep sea fishing trip for my son. He is an avid fresh water fisherman but we were unsure of his tolerance for the open sea and chose the 4 hour trip.The captain and crew were excellent and super friendly. We would definitely recommend!

    Reported catch:
    Amberjack

    Great first time.

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 6 adults • 1 child

    This trip was the first time for most of us. 5 adults and 1 child. Dominic, the deck hand, did a fantastic job making sure everyone got fish and kept the lines going. Did a 5 hour in the am. Caught bait on the way out, then vermilion and red snapper, trigger fish, bonito, red grouper and a sucker fish.

    Reported catch:
    Red Snapper
    Gray Triggerfish
