Captain Harold was awesome and managed to get us in on a last minute charter after another group had canceled. We managed to catch a triggerfish, and our limit in red snapper within 45 minutes after getting out to the fishing spot! We might’ve had to fight a dolphin Fr them, but they didn’t manage to steal any. On the way back he even stopped for us as we passed back into the bay because the Blue Angels were practicing right above the boat!

All in all one of the best charters we could’ve asked for.

Everything was perfect on our charter. Easy going, relaxing, caught several fish, saw many dolphins and had a great boat ride looking at Fort Pickens and the dunes. Harold was professional, knowledgeable and attentive to our fishing and baiting needs. The boat was clean and stocked with water and Ice. Harold cleaned our fish so we could take them home and cook them. Highly recommend this charter!!! Couldn’t get any better!!! Will be back! So much FUN!!

I brought my son down to fish for his 30th birthday gift and choose Captain Harold and we were not disappointed.
First day weather was great and we caught a bunch of fish, so many different species. Second day weather was a lot tougher but we still made it out and hooked up quite a few fish.
Harolds stories and sense of humor was awesome and put us both at ease right away, he’s a great teacher and helped us catch fish for sure.
We will be looking forward to booking him again on our next trip to Pensacola. Thanks for a great couple of days and for helping two first timers have a great time catching some big fish.
If you’re looking to have a great time on the water catching plenty of fish,then Captain Harold is your man😉

Always had this dream of going on a real-deal fishing charter trip with my old man. Thanks to Captain Harold and his Reel Irie Fishing Charters, I finally got to check that off my bucket list, and let me tell you, it was epic!

Captain Harold is no joke, the dude knows his stuff. He answered every question we had about fishing and the local area like a pro. Despite running the whole show on his own, the customer service he delivered was top-notch. Started us off with a safety briefing, let us play our favorite tunes, and kept everything in ship shape, from swapping out broken tackle to unhooking and measuring our catch.

He even made the bait catching part a blast, showing us what to look for in the water and on the sonar. And man, once we got out of the bay, it was fish galore! Every spot we hit, we were hauling in fish. We were there for the red snapper, but got to wrangle a few amberjack and trigger fish, too.

The real highlight? I hooked into what had to be a shark and fought the beast for over 30 minutes. Exhausted doesn’t even cover how I felt after that battle!

So, if you’re ever in Pensacola and get the itch for some deep-sea fishing, do yourself a favor and hit up Captain Harold at Reel Irie Fishing Charters. I guarantee it’ll be your first and only call. I know it’ll be mine!
