    Amazing fishing trip!

    Shark & Goliath Grouper Trip • 4 adults

    We had an amazing day with Seller Action Fishing Charters! Our captain, Nick, was outstanding and made the entire trip a great experience. Our family of four booked the Goliath grouper and shark trip, and it exceeded our expectations. We caught three Goliath groupers along with lots of other fish, so there was never a dull moment. Nick was knowledgeable, friendly, and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time. He was fantastic with our family and made the trip both fun and memorable. If you're looking for an unforgettable fishing charter, I highly recommend Seller Action Fishing Charters. We'll definitely be back!

    Another great experience with Stellar Action

    4 Hour Trip • 6 adults • 2 children

    This was my second outing with Stellar Action. My 1st was with Darius (a great time) and this trip was with Nick. Captain Nick put us on 'em. We had a great time and he was especially awesome with the 2 kids in our party. It's clear his local upbringing helps with his knowledge of the fishery. His equipment and go-to spots are dialed-in. Our target species were flounder, snapper and Goliath grouper and we got on all of them. The Goliaths escaped us. He got us on them for the opportunity, but WE couldn't capitalize. Next time!

    Nick was a great captain

    4 Hour Trip - 1:00 PM • 5 adults • 3 children

    Nick was very patient with our three kids and answered all of their 1,000 + questions! 😆 He’s very knowledgeable about the waters and sea life. He was kind enough to take my husband and daughter back to shore when they got sea sick & was ok heading back out with myself and our two boys to continue fishing. We caught several grey snapper, almost caught a bonnet head shark and a couple of grouper. We even saw a sea turtle. It was a great experience and we will use them again in the future. Thank you Nick!

    Goliath Grouper!

    Shark & Goliath Grouper Trip • 6 adults

    My sons and I did the Shark and Goliath Grouper trip with Captain Nick. We caught Red Grouper, Mangrove Snapper, Flounder, Permit, and Amberjack. But the crown jewel was a 300+ pound Goliath Grouper! It took both of my sons to reel it in! It's a memory they'll never forget. Thanks to Captain Nick and Stellar Action Fishing Charters for a great day on the gulf!

    Captain Nick is a good man and great with youth

    6 Hour Trip • 5 adults • 2 children

    Very nice guy with a clean boat and great personality. Great with my 7 year old daughter and 14 year old nephew. We caught more than we could count and left with some keepers that we just cooked up 10 minutes ago. It was a great day and I thank Captain Nick for a job well done. 🇺🇸

    We had the best time with Nick! He was patient and easy going. Quick to move us where the fish were biting, and eager to help us reel them in! I’d definitely book with Nick and Stellar Action Fishing Charters again!

    We had the best time and caught so many fish! We have done many charters all over the Gulf and the minute we got off the boat our family said "this was the best one we have done!" Captain Nick was amazing and took us to all the action!

    We went out about 2.5 miles. 3 locations in that same area. No casting, just dropped lines. Caught 2 different (small) fish. tried for grouper but no luck. Captain Nick actually fished for the grouper and my bf was on standby to real it up so technically he wouldnt have caught it. It was nice to be out on the water but was hoping for a little more excitement. My teenagers got bored but we did keep a few catches and Nick cut them up for us and our hotel bar cooked them!

As the Snapper leave, the Grouper arrive, keeping up constant action on the reefs. November also dangles the opportunity for some lucky anglers to fish the famous Lake Parrish for Bass in the Fish United Way Tournament.
