Captain Ryan Dolph was born and raised near the sea and has always loved the coastal life. Fishing was his first love. He started fishing as soon as he was able to walk and hold a pole and has owned his own boat since he was 12 years old. For him, living near the water is heaven on earth. He knows the local and surrounding waters better than the highways. Fishing and being on the water is his way of clearing his mind and relieving stress. His firm belief is, it's not work when you love what you do. Let him show you a little piece of his, Heaven on earth.

    Better than a great day of work!

    Half Day Trip (inshore game fish) • 4 adults • 2 children

    Ryan worked so hard to get us onto fish! He was great with our children and answered their million questions. We couldn’t have asked for anything to be better other than catching… but that’s why we call it fishing and not catching! Thank you Reel Obsession Fishing Charters! We hope to fish with you again!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you so much, Joshua! I truly appreciate the kind words. I had a great time with you and your family, and those million questions from the kids made the day even more fun! Sometimes the fish just don’t cooperate, but I’m glad you still had a great day on the water. I’d love to have y’all back anytime—hopefully next time we’ll turn that fishing into catching! 🎣

    great trip

    Half Day Trip (inshore game fish) - 1:00 PM • 2 adults

    The trip was in August when ii was really hot. Ryan was able to find the fish in the right spot. We got cooled off by a rather large rain downpour for several minutes. It was cooling and refreshing but we got soaked. We got our limit of red fish. Anticipating some good eating later.

    Response from Captain

    thanks for booking Mr.Jim enjoy yalls stay.

    hit all the goals

    Half Day Trip (inshore game fish) - 1:00 PM • 2 adults

    went with the expectation of catching a couple meals worth of fish, some shrimp, and something “picture worthy”…got about 2 lbs of shrimp in cast netting, some nice sized mullet that fried up really well, and I caught a 22” redfish and son caught a 20” redfish

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Shrimp
    Response from Captain

    Thank you so much, Jason! I’m glad we were able to hit all the goals for your trip and put some good fish and shrimp in the cooler. It was a pleasure having you and your son aboard. Hope to fish with y’all again soon! 🎣

    Dolph had us in hundreds of redfish. We asked to use only artificial bait and that’s what we did and we caught plenty of red fish!  great experience and I highly recommend this Captain.

    Captain Ryan was quite flexible. Helped my family to fish and brought us to a good location without wind and waves. Will go out with him again.

    Capt Ryan, was great. He found the fish, took a little bit of looking, but we had so much fun. My wife had never caught a Red Drum before, and seeing my Dad have fun catching them, made this the best trip I could ask for.

    Planned a trip for a Saturday afternoon, it turned cold and it rained all day. Captian Ryan suggested we go the next day earlier in the day. The weather on Saturday was cold and rainy, on Sunday it was cold and sun shinning. Captain Ryan still made it happen and we still caught a some keeper Red fish.
