    Great trip with captain Heath!

    4 Hour Trip – Offshore State Waters - 5:00 PM • 6 adults

    Brace yourselves for a long review lol. This was our first time with Heath but certainly won't be the last. If you want to have a really fun trip with a knowledgeable, patient, and hardworking captain then this is your guy. He is a very easy going person, made sure everyone was having a good time, and seriously did whatever it took to put us on some fish! He had plenty of spots marked to fish and multiple different cut bait, live bait, and artificial lures ready to go with different set ups for the species you are targeting. We were just out of season for snapper but got on some good ones that we released along with grouper, a shark, and a couple other fish that I'm forgetting the name of! We also got to see some pretty big jellyfish which was pretty cool too. The boat is nice/clean and had plenty of space for all 6 of us to fish. I'm probably forgetting something else lol but long story long, Heath worked his butt off to make sure we had a great time and got to take some fish home!

    Captain Heath was AWESOME!!!

    3 Hour – Night Green Light Inshore - 6:00 PM • 2 adults

    Being new to saltwater fishing Captain Heath was great! He got me and my wife on fish immediately and when the bite slowed, he moved us and got on more fish. He was super fun to visit with and extremely knowledgeable about the fish species and size limits. We had so much fun and caught a bunch of fish. He cleaned them and we had them for lunch the next day. I would 1000% recommend him and we plan to bring our whole family back to FWB with us and will hit up Captain Heath when we come back. Our expectations were definitely exceeded!!

    Go Green Light Fishing!!!!

    4 Hour – Night Green Light Inshore • 5 adults

    For years we have always booked early morning fishing trips, but this time we tried something different. This Captian knew his waters like no other. He already had all the bait we needed and the minute we started fishing, we were popping fish all night long. We had six ppl on the boat and had plenty of room for all of us to fish. We told the Capt we wanted Redfish and he put us on Reds. The we asked for some sea trout and boom he put us on them and we caught some nice ones. Fishing Green lights was an all new atmosphere becuase you can see the monster fish your after in the lights. The best part is this Capt has mastered the art of night fishing, so not only did we catch some nice fish we caught alot (40 plus)

    Reported catch:
    Mangrove Snapper
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout

    Fish and trip of a lifetime!!

    8 Hour Trip – Offshore State Waters • 6 adults

    Captain Heath took myself, my wife, and the boys out December 31st without hesitation!! 22 degrees didn’t stop us from wrangling in a 34 1/2” red grouper that gave me a fight and story that is unparalleled in my experiences of angling fish! Myself, my son, and his 3 closest friends (16 year olds), all caught pigs. One of the boys(Landon) caught a porky snapper that was over 36”!! Heath, thank you for sharing in what amounts to be a cornerstone in these young men’s growth and life! They’ll be talking about this fish story for decades to come! Renita says thank you too even though she was under 5 layers of clothing and a water proof blanket..what a trooper!!!! Definitely going to mount my Grouper!

    10/10 recommend!

    4 Hour Trip – Offshore - 8:00 AM • 2 adults

    We had an absolutely incredible experience with Captain Howel! From the moment we got on the boat, he was super personable, easy to talk to, and made everyone feel comfortable and excited for the day. His knowledge of fishing really showed—he put us right on the fish, and we were catching nonstop! He was also incredibly helpful, whether it was giving tips, baiting hooks, or making sure everyone was having a great time. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and wants his guests to have the best experience possible. Will be back for more!!
