    Great Captain and Great Time!!!

    6 Hour Trip – Inshore Nearshore2 adults

    Booked Captain Doug based upon reviews and he lived up to our expectations and then some! Knowledgeable about what was in season, explained everything for fishing with the gear and what we were foshing for! Almost limited out on Beeliners and scored several Trigger fish, that we couldn’t keep due to length limitations. Boat was clean and excellently maintained! Captain Doug as a person was fantastic: good communication, conversation, and enjoyed leaning about different fish and live bottom, wreck fishing, and reef fishing! Even saw dolphins! Would recommend again and again. Uou can definitely tell Captain Doug enjoys what he does and spreads that joy to his passengers!

    Reported catch:

    Great Experience

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore Nearshore4 adults

    Captain Doug was up front and honest about the fishing being slow. He had a plan set up for the morning. We ended up catching fish. Several charter boats were around us and we definitely boated more fish. Great conversations. Definitely recommended and would charter him again in a heatbeat.

Redfish Are Always a Fun Catch

Apr 6, 2024 • Gulf Breeze
Big Redfish in full swing! Sitting on a spot that gave us 9 over slot Reds in less than an hour. My young passenger and his father had a great time reeling them in. We sent the over slot fish back safely but kept our Speckled Sea Trout and lower slot Black Drum to eat!

Live fiddler crabs and raw fresh oysters were the bait of choice. The temperature was in the 50s with cloudy skys and tons of fog. Despite the conditions we had a good time reeling in the Convicts.

BIG REDS with CAPTAIN DOUG CHASON

Jan 29, 2021 • Gulf Breeze
Nothing brings me joy like seeing a teenager pull in their first Bull Redfish! We ran out to a local wreck and grabbed some of what we local folks call "Butter Trout" for bait. We threw these live fish on the bottom just outside our local pass and in no time we got a hookup. Grown ones back to back!
