Catchy title right?! There’s a hilarious story to accompany it! We got out headed up the intercostal waterway & stopped to fish around some docks, it was stormy a little earlier & fishing is just unpredictable at best! Capt Gil kept our hooks baited (hubby said he thinks he lost his man card, he’s never had anyone keep him baited up!) & we were getting some catfish & good hits. At our 2nd dock stop I caught a ray! He said that it was VERY rare to catch one that far north & we returned it to the water. We piddled around here & there & caught a few more trash fish. Hubby caught a couple black drums by now. He decided to check another spot & off we went. I had water & snacks packed as one would expect on a fishing trip. I pulled out my banana & got it peeled & LITERALLY had my mouth opened to take a bite. Our boat came to a FULL STOP & he said, “ma’am I’m sorry but you’re gonna have to toss that over & I’m not even joking” & my flabbers were GHASTED. Like “he has a banana allergy? Are the peels toxic to fish? What is going on?!” He told us the ‘mariners tale’ about boating & bananas & he had us pull alongside the other captain & just hold up my banana & the captain just looked & let out a half laugh & said “how many yall got?”  Our captain answered back “2.”  The other captain said, “would’ve had 10”. I was too tickled. We went to find another honey hole & caught a 19” red drum & 2 of the biggest “trash fish” he’s ever seen in his life. Like he took pics & was showing them to several others at the docks!  We wound up with 3 fish in total. The red drum & 2 black drum. He also recommended a local restaurant that would cook out catch & we decided to go & I am so glad we did!! They had some of the best hush puppies & homemade tartar sauce I’ve ever had! The fish they cooked for us was delicious as well!!!  All in all, it was a great day & I 100% will use them again for charter fishing when we are in the area!!!! If I had to give “stars” it would be 4.9 out of 5 bc my banana was smelling so good & I wanted to take a bite haha! 😆

Capt Charlie did a great job, on time baited up and ready to go. For three guys that haven’t done much saltwater fishing he explained what we were fishing for and how to set your bait. We caught a bunch of fish and had a great time. Would recommend him to anyone.

Captain Charlie and Gil were a great team to hit the waters with today. They hit several great locations. Answered any questions and gave us lots of information, made every effort that we caught ourselves some fish!! I would highly recommend these men for any fishing trip you want to take. These two are very knowledgeable and very friendly. Even recommended a great place for us to have our fish cooked. Dinner was perfect.

I am a stroke victim with limited right side use. The captain and crew were outstanding from getting me on the boat, helping me catch fish , and getting me off of the boat. The equipment was perfect for my limitations. I highly recommend Southern Sun Inshore Charters and Captain Charlie and Justin the deck hand. Worth every penny spent on the trip and I will be rebooking with them in the future. Bill Boatman

Had a great and productive fishing trip with Southern Sun fishing! The captain was fun, professional and very knowledgeable! He was on time, put us on the fish and took very good care of the family.
