A passionate outdoorsman, Captain Hunter Ray grew up fishing the Choctawhatchee Bay in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. His family has been on the water for generations, and Capt. Hunter was introduced to the fishing business at an early age. As he grew up, he spent countless hours working as a deckhand for his family's shrimping business, which gave him a thorough knowledge of the local waters and all their inhabitants. Nowadays, he translates this knowledge to his clients by providing fun local inshore fishing trips that stand out because of his local knowledge and family-friendly attitude.

    4th Generation Captain

    4 hour inshore fishing trip5 adults3 children

    Tucker is 4th generation captain and it shows. Great gear, knew all the best spots and put us on with 2 snappers one at 24 inches but wrapped around a log. We did bring in 14 cats that put up a great fight for our boys. Highly recommend as he is great with kids.

What's biting with Florida Boy Adventures 30a in Santa Rosa Beach

Summer crowds along the Emerald Coast might be thinning out by autumn, but the waters are far from empty! Every species is biting ferociously and many are legal to keep at this time of year.

Spotted seatrout insanity

Aug 5, 2023 • Santa Rosa Beach
So the last few trips after the full moon are producing killer numbers of nice trout. And the good news is we dont have to run far to get them so even on the 2 hour trips you can be successful.

Running of the bulls

Sep 5, 2022 • Santa Rosa Beach
The big over slot redfish we call bull reds have shown up big time. We target these fish by running around looking for birds diving or visibly seeing them chasing bait on the surface. Nows the best time of year to get after them.

Red hot reds

Aug 29, 2022 • Santa Rosa Beach
The redfish are getting into their late summer pattern and we have them dialed in. Bait is getting scarce so it takes a little more time to find the right ones but its worth it because when you find them the reds are chewing the hooks off.

Spring break bull red run

Feb 10, 2022 • Santa Rosa Beach
This spring is starting off with a bang. The big bulls are cruising the flats and are starting to school up. We target these big fish with soft plastics and live bait. It should only get better as the season rolls on.

Summer time is upon us.

Jun 17, 2019 • Santa Rosa Beach
Summer time has started a little early for us this year. The water temps are a little higher than normal this early so that means fishing early or late will provide the best results. This time of year is all about the right type of bait. Our clients will be fishing Croakers,Lys, and shrimp to offer the best chance at capitalizing on some great dinner fare. Book your trip soon because our dates are filling up fast.
