Half Day Trip – Fishing

Despite challenging conditions Capt Phil put us on the fish. Caught a limit of redfish in a hurry. We also caught many redfish well over slot. We fished in a variety of locations all over the bay. Capt. Phil was patient but knew when it was time to change things up. Capt. Phil was helpful and knowledgeable.

From the time we set out, we could not ask for better service. He was very knowledgeable. We have 2 young teen boys, he educated them in ocean fishing. We started out slow but within a couple of hours we were catching plenty. We highly recommend captain phill and plan on using him again in the future.

Captain Phil put us on the fish right away. All five of us were able to reel in multiple fish. Did not catch any redfish, but caught plenty of other species. He was a pleasure to spend the morning with, and we would happily do it again the next time we are in the area.

Great with kids. Great at catching fish. Large supply of freshly caught bait. Caught a lot of fish. I’ve used 5-6 fishing guides in my life and Capt Phil was the best I’ve fished with. Looking forward to another trip.
