    Fun times!

    Half Day Trip – Bay (AM) • 6 adults

    The captain was very friendly and helpful with baiting our lines for those of us that needed help. We did catch a lot of fish, but very few were edible. However, we only did bay fishing and not deep sea and that may have been why. We did have an awesome dolphin show at the end of our trip because the captain spotted dolphins near the boat, and he revved up the engine up which caused the dolphins to chase our boat. I had never seen anything like it in my life, and it was the height of my trip!

    Amazing Trip!

    Half Day Trip – Bay (AM) • 6 adults • 1 child

    We had a wonderful charter with Captain Ron in the bay. He was very patient with our 8 year old son, and took the time to provide instruction on how to properly cast and reel in the fish. Every location we headed to, we caught many species of fish. Captain Ron was knowledgeable, patient, and provided a fun atmosphere for our family! We had an excellent lunch with the fish we caught. When we head back to St. George Island, another charter with Captain Ron will be the first thing we book!

    Captain Ron is an Appalach Gem

    Full Day Trip – Offshore • 2 adults

    We had an unforgettable experience with Captain Ron! I took my 70-year-old father out for a birthday fishing trip, and Captain Ron made it truly special from start to finish. He’s personable, funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced. He was fully prepared, attentive to every detail, and made sure we were comfortable and having a great time the entire trip. He struck the perfect balance between being helpful and letting us enjoy the experience together. If you’re looking for a top-notch guide who genuinely cares about his guests, Captain Ron is your guy. We’ll absolutely be booking with him again next time we’re in town!

    Had an absolute blast with Captain Ron today. We wanted to get kids on fish and boy did he deliver. We caught over 80 fish including 60 keeper trout. We also hooked some larger fish and just generally had a great day. Captain Ron was terrific and we cannot wait to come down for a second trip.

    Ron was great with everyone. He battled through a stingray sting and still made sure we had a great day and caught a ton of fish. He’s a great host. Thanks Ron!

    Ron is awesome! He is so nice, funny, and my family had a great time offshore fishing with him. He took us to some great spots and we reeled in several grouper and snapper. He even cleaned our fish afterwards. I would go back out with him again.

    We had a fantastic experience on this fishing charter! Ron was super friendly and made everyone feel welcome from the moment we stepped on board. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests having a great time. He worked hard the entire trip to find the best fishing spots and kept moving us until we were on the fish. His knowledge of the area really showed, and he was very patient and helpful with our inexperienced kids. Definately recommend! 🎣🌊
