  Fantastic trout trip!

  Half Day Trip (PM) on July 10, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

  Limited out on trout in under 3 hours! I took my two kids out and we had an absolute blast. We were originally scheduled for a night trip with Captain Bud, but storms pushed us to the next morning. Captain Steven took great care of us. We’re all amateur fishers, and he made sure the kids had fun catching croakers for bait. After about 20–30 of those, we headed out and landed a ton of speckled trout. We’ll definitely be looking forward to coming back!

  Great Trip for us and our boys!

  Half Day Trip (AM) on June 18, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

  We had a great time with Captain Bud! Very windy morning and wind direction change which we know slows the fish bite but he put us on fish! Great time talking about hunting and fishing with captain Bud! We fished right up to the last second! Would definitely book him again and even looking into a duck hunting trip with him. Thanks for taking great care of us!

  Highly recommend

  Half Day Trip (AM) on June 16, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

  I would definitely recommend this charter to anyone looking for a pleasurable fishing time. We did well fishing, even though that’s not guaranteed to happen everyday. The captain put us on red drum and trout. Unfortunately all the red drum we caught were too big to keep but that’s not a bad thing! The captain and the equipment were all first class.

  Great day of fishing!

  Half Day Trip (AM) on May 25, 2024 • 2 adults

  Captain Stephan Hamilton was fantastic. Called for an earlier fishing time because they were biting early morning. We had caught limit of trout by 6:30am. We caught and released many more. Tried some other spots and other species but with no luck. Went back to trout and landed several more. My wife was hitting them hard on second go (yeah she out fished me for the day). Good conversation throughout the trip. Overall could not have been better. Thank you Capt Stephan.
