    the greatest charter to book!!

    1/2 Day Trip–Inshore/Nearshore (AM)6 adults

    i cant speak highly enough about the character of tommy. he was very knowledgeable about the species we were targeting and was very willing to share that knowledge with us and happily allowed us to pick his brain. i can honestly say even if we didnt catch a single fish (we caught the perfect amount) we wouldve still had an amazing time. the trip was full of laughs and memories that was all made possible thanks to tommy. 100% would recommend him to anyone and we will be booking with him in the future!!

    Reported catch:
    Spanish Mackerel
    Response from Captain

    slow fishing day but GREAT captain!

    1/2 Day Trip–Inshore/Nearshore (AM)4 adults1 child

    wife and kids and I went out with Buck Nasty for the kids first fishing trip. Foshing was slow but Capt. moved us aroubd a few times to try to get us on the fish. Despite it being slow he put in the effort and made sure the kids had a great time, showed them some dolphins and how to bait and cast. We will be booking again when we come back next year, Would highly recomend.

    Fantastic and Personable Captain!

    Full Day Nearshore/Offshore4 adults

    Captain Tommy Grady was fantastic. Very personable and down to earth. Do as much or as little as you would like. Capt Tommy knows where all the fish are and he will do his best to help you catch what you want. You'll get a great boat ride, wonderful ocean breeze, and if the conditions are right, some wonderful fishing too. I highly recommend Captain Tommy Grady.

    Reported catch:

Buck Nasty Charters would like to thank Donnie, Valarie, and Kathryn for fishing with us today! We caught flounder after flounder with a couple of undersized cobia in the mix. Donnie hooked up on something very large that ultimately broke us off. It was still a great fight on a 4500 class reel! Flounder season is just around the corner.
