    Great Foshing Charter with very knowledgeable captain

    4 Hour Trip – Offshore (PM) • 3 adults

    We decided to take this charter out for my twin boys 15th birthday. They absolutely loved it. We caught the days limit of Red Snapper, even ran into some Trigger fish. We went to go find some Spanish Mackrel that had been biting all morning, but ended up finding a bunch of Spade fish. Captain Ricky was fantastic. He knew exactly where to go and for how long. He provided tips on catching them and importantly how to reel them in once they’re on the hook. He also provided information how theyre best cooked. Our experience and our dinner later on were fantastic!

    Great Memories

    3 hours fishing • 4 adults • 2 children

    We had an amazing trip with Reel Fishin Charters and Captain Jordan! From the moment we left the dock, Captain Jordan worked hard to put us on fish and made sure everyone had a great time. The action was nonstop. We caught Spanish mackerel, landed a nice cobia, and hooked into more sharks than we could count! Every time we thought things might slow down, another rod would bend over. Captain Jordan’s knowledge of the local waters and fishing spots was impressive, and it was obvious he wanted us to have the best experience possible. The boat was clean, the equipment was in great shape, and Captain Jordan was friendly, professional, and patient throughout the trip. Whether you’re an experienced angler or taking your family out for a fun day on the water, I highly recommend Reel Fishin Charters. We made great memories, caught plenty of fish, and can’t wait to book another trip the next time we’re on the Gulf Coast. Thanks again, Captain Jordan!

    Once in a lifetime trip

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore (PM) • 2 adults

    My boyfriend and I went out with Jordan and he was absolutely AMAZING! I’m not very experienced in fishing and probably fished once in my lifetime. Jordan was absolutely so kind and amazing for reeling in all my poles. And was so knowledgeable about where all the fish were and wanted to make us happy and have a great time (which we absolutely did) He definitely was a TOP NOTCH guide and will be requesting him personally for our next charter next year. Thank you Jordan for a trip we will never forget!
