Captain Arnold took us out into the bay and got us on some fish!! Black drum non-stop. Great Captain and crew. 1st hand Nathan kept us rigged, baited, and on the bite. We had a great time. Will come back for round 2

My wife and kids all caught fish! About 50-60 spotted trout and a few cat fish, all in 3 hours. Kids had fun catching and a dolphin stayed around the boat . Lots of fun and easy to fish , plenty of bait and a personable Captian. Easy trip for a small family.

This trip was my wife and I anniversary for we love fishing. We have gone out on charters before and really enjoyed the experience with catching fish. The captain took us out and went from spot to spot basically guessing since there was no true fish finder. The bait was cheap and artificial, completely unprofessional. Once the trip was over and we didn’t catch any fish, I contacted Arnold to see if he would make it right. Arnold was very rude and became aggressive, when he should have been ethical.... More

Let’s clarify some things right from the start !!! 1: You booked a 3 hours trip and our guide stayed out with you 5 1/2 hours . 2 : fish finder in 12-16 inches of water ? Please explain cause I guarantee you that’s not gonna happen ! 3: guessing spots ? We fish all year daily we try spots that we catch fish on daily ? You honestly think our captain stayed out over 2 more hours just for fun guessing ? 4 : cheap bait ?? Sorry your extremely wrong nothing we use is cheap not even plastic lures you definitely don’t know much about fishing with all these accusations . 5: now let’s tell how you had a bottle of rum and could barely talk more or fish !!! 6: you called me and threatened me wanting your money back cause you hadn’t caught fish and I don’t you no sir you got even extra time and out captain did his very best !!! Then you started harassing me by text . Which I have to prove all u wanted was your money back or youd give me a one star review. . Let me tell you how things really are in this world , u don’t and can’t catch fish every time you go fishing , yes we try and try hard , but sometimes it just does not happen . Reality is our captain did his very best and you are upset cause you want us to give you back your money thinking that everyone catches fish every time they go out . If that was the case we’d have no fish left . I’m sorry but I’ll stick by my guides side sir . And honestly I believe after this review you’re going to have a hard time finding another private charter . Yes completely private charter with drinks rods bait tackle everything you needed not for 3 hours u payed for but almost 6 hours !!! So from me to you go grow up . My reviews say it all !!!!!! My clients are the best and we do our best !!!
