    Absolute Blast catching fish!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 5 adults

    Mark was amazing. Was early and ready to go. The ride out into the Gulf at sunrise was breathtaking. Fishing started off a little slow and then it really took off! As that tie started coming in the bites just kept coming. We caught White Trout, we caught some monster Black Drums and we caught a boatload of Sheepshead. I think we went home with 18 Sheepshead that will oack the freezer. Thank's again Mark! You were funny and knowledgeable.

    Awesome Experience!!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 5 adults

    We had a wonderful time with Captain Mark. He was very nice, friendly and patient with us. There were some storms around this morning, and the bite wasn’t great; but we still caught some nice fish. My mom and daughter caught some red fish, and my son and husband caught some nice sheepshead. I caught a speckled trout which was a first for me and for all of us. It was a great time with family making memories we will never forget. Mark was very knowledgeable and made sure we had a good trip. We will definitely book again.

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Sheepshead
    Speckled Trout

    Amazing time!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 5 adults

    My family and I had a blast! Captain Mark was very helpful and very (obviously) experienced. This was our first time fishing in the ocean, and I will definitely be one for the books. He helped us put the bait on the hooks, cast lines, and get the fish off the hooks. He also cleaned we fish we kept so we could go have it prepared to eat. 10/10 would book again!

    Reported catch:
    Redfish

    Caught plenty and had a great time!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 5 adults

    Mark was great from the start and put us on fish immediately. Mark was friendly and helpful and put my whole family on fish. He recommended a restaurant nearby to cook our catch fresh (McElroy's Harborhouse which was also great!). The boat was big enough for all of us. We would absolutely book again

    We went fishing with my son (who fishes frequently) and nephew (who has never really been fishing). He was very patient, helped my nephew learn a lot, and was very informative. Helped us find the fish when all of the other charters were unsuccessful that day!
