We had a great time with Capt Justin and Tawny on our full day deep drop trip. We were targeting golden tilefish and yellow edge grouper. The yellow edge grouper weren’t biting on this trip, but the golden tilefish were. My wife caught two on the line for the first catch of the day. Capt Justin made sure we stayed on the fish moving to different spots when it got slow. Tawny set out flat lines while moving between spots, which resulted in us catching a few mahi mahi. They made sure we were taking advantage of every opportunity to catch fish. Our oldest son bought his first boat last year and Capt Justin was kind enough to share boating and fishing knowledge with him throughout the trip.

The boat was comfortable and well equipped, with all gear in great condition. They filleted all fish we brought back at the end of the trip. We ended up with enough mahi mahi and golden tilefish to feed a family of five for at least four to five meals. Their knowledge and assistance made for a fantastic day of fishing. We will definitely be booking again!

Captain Justin and his daughter took us out on what ended up being a windy/cold morning but we got into the zone by the end of the charter.  My wife, 10 year old son and 6 year old daughter were on board with nothing but smiles by the end of the trip. We got on some snapper and my son worked hard to get our dinner on the boat. Captain Justin and his daughter were both great with our kids and had a tremendous amount of knowledge about the area, boating, and fishing which made the time fly by.  They made what could have been a tough trip bc of the weather a big success by getting us on the fish! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again but just remember, no bananas on the boat!

No nonsense solid operation run by Tami and Justin, a hard working couple that know their business.  Their mate Jon was on point as well as being personable and friendly. I was somewhat apprehensive about a split charter but the other two guys were great. I wouldn’t hesitate to fish with them again. While we were on our way back in Justin did something that not a lot of charter captains would do.  Justin detoured to investigate some diving pelicans at a large pod of bait fish. It’s that kind of dedication and love of fishing that makes the difference when choosing a charter.  That detour resulted in the most exciting 45 additional minutes of the trip and produced a monster cobia.  I’m looking forward to going out with this family again.

Thank you Captain Justin for a wonderful day. Not only did we get to spend some time with a knowledgeable and friendly captain in a beautiful setting, everyone also got into some fish!  I particularly appreciate the attention Justin gave my 10 year old son and his grandparents. I get to fish all year, but the experience everyone else got will keep them coming back I’m sure.
Thanks again Justin, we’ll see you the next time we’re in Vero.
