It was a cold, drizzly, late-December morning. Capt Ryan gave our 8-80 years old group the option to delay or cancel, saying conditions were less than optimal, with a chilly breeze and fish not exactly looking to feed. But our time was limited, and our interest could not be deterred.

He took us to a sheltered spot and pointed out where the water was a little deeper and perhaps a little less chilly. Sure enough, there must have been a flock of Sheepshead down there, which we proceeded to fleece, along with a couple other randos.

We went with low expectations due to time of year and temperature but went away with smiles and a desire to come back in warm temps and have Capt Ryan get us out a little further and see what we could catch when everything is a little more active.

We had a great time. Thanks Capt Ryan!

Highly recommend.  This was our 4th fishing charter in various places over the past several years. All about same time of year. We had 3 adults. Went out about 5 miles. Had to earn our sea legs. Captain Ryan demonstrated knowledge of the location, fishing tips, and flexibility. It was clear that he wanted us to have the best experience we could. We caught a lot of fish and a lot of variety (none of us can remember the counts)!  Trout, Bass, Sheep Head, Black Drum and Blues. We also caught 4 big Bull Reds in two different locations. Plenty of keepers for eating. We fished with crab, minnows, shrimp and mullet. Again, we’d definitely recommend. Tip: watch the forecast for low wind and gusts if you definitely want to be in the ocean. But even if they are too high I’m sure he’ll get you to some inshore fishing holes for a great time.

We went out on a day when the wind was howling and the temps dropped 20 degrees in a couple days… anyone who fishes knows that might as well stay home!!  Captain Craig took the time to find us a few spots out of the wind and told us let’s see what we can do….  we hit 3 spots and cleaned house!!  It was non stop action for the 3 of us.  Unfortunately my 11 year old put all of us to shame and caught more fish than the rest of us combined.  There was a dolphin at the end of the trip that turned what was a good trip into a great trip.  Captain Craig is a very professional, kid friendly, knowledgeable guide who anyone would be lucky to book. Thanks for a great trip Captain Craig!!

Let me just start off by saying Captain Craig is no joke. He knows the waters and the fish. Super informative! He puts in so much effort to give you the best trip. We have 3 kids and our 6 year old little girl fished with him the whole time. She says their best friends. He’s amazing with kids. This was the highlight of our whole vacation. None of us was ready to leave. The 5 hours goes by way too fast. I can already guarantee you if you go on a fishing trip with Captain Craig you’re not going to have any other better fishing trip EVER! Worth every single penny. Do this with your family/ friends you’ll make memories you will cherish forever. Thank you Captain Craig for everything!!

Captain Graig got us on Mackerel about two miles off shore. We bagged 12 nice fish for a great fish taco dinner.
Then we did some shark fishing and were catching one after another.
I, my son-in-law and grandson had a very remarkable and rememberable day.
