    wonderful time

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore - 10:30 AM • 5 adults • 3 children

    We had an excellent experience on this charter fishing trip. The captain was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and right on time, which set the tone for a smooth day on the water. He clearly knew where the fish were—we caught plenty throughout the trip! Captain Bill gave our group the nickname "The Croaker Crew". What really stood out was his personality. He was personable, easy to talk to, and especially great with the kids, making sure everyone felt included and had a good time. He was also very helpful, offering guidance and tips that made the experience even better. Overall, it was a fantastic trip, and I would highly recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun and successful day of fishing.

    2 Hours Now. 4 Hours Next Time!

    2 Hour Trip – Quick Trip - 2:00 PM • 4 adults

    Our family of four had a great time with Captain Bill. His goal was for everyone to carch a fish in th two hours; Mom’s goal was to not vomit from motion sickness. Two hours later, no vomit and three of us had caught one or more fish (A fun memory since it was Dad that missed out!). We’re all novices, but Captain Bill taught us and was patient with our questions. He was right there, keeping an eye out on all lines. It was a bit windy during our trip, but he made it seem like the perfect conditions. Two hours was great and flew by. Next time we’re back in the area, we’ll definitely do four hours. He’s right…fishing is a bit addictive! Thanks, Captain Bill!

    Best Adventure Ever

    2 Hour Trip – Quick Trip - 11:00 AM • 3 adults • 2 children

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review for Captain Bill If you’re thinking about booking a fishing trip with Captain Bill, stop thinking and just do it. Seriously. Our kids caught fish, we caught fish, and at one point I’m pretty sure Captain Bill could have convinced the ocean itself to jump in the boat if we asked nicely. From the moment we stepped on the boat, Captain Bill was amazing with the kids—patient, encouraging, and somehow able to untangle fishing lines at lightning speed (which is apparently a required skill when kids are involved). He made sure everyone had a turn, knew what they were doing, and most importantly… actually caught fish. The excitement every time a rod bent was unreal. The kids felt like professional anglers by the end of the trip, and we may now have a couple of future marine biologists on our hands. The boat was great, the fishing was great, and Captain Bill kept things fun the entire time with jokes, tips, and just the right amount of “reel it in!” enthusiasm. 10/10 would absolutely go again. If you want a trip where the kids catch fish, parents relax, and everyone leaves with big smiles (and maybe some fish tales that get slightly bigger every time you tell them), Captain Bill is your guy. Thanks for an unforgettable day on the water, Captain Bill! 🎣🐟

    Awesome Day

    4 Hour Trip – Red Snapper - 10:30 AM • 1 adult

    Captain Walsh had us on Red Snapper at the first bait drop and kept us on them all day! His knowledge of the fishing grounds is phenomenal. He moved us to 3 spots, and we caught fish at every one of them… However. the last spot we hit is where i hooked the 18 pound monster. Great day, I will be back and highly recommend 6Deep to everyone who wants to catch fish.

    Better late than never!

    3 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore - 10:30 AM • 5 adults

    Although we mixed up directions (our fault entirely) Captain Bill was a blast to hang around and sure knew how to fish the Gulf of America! My teenage sons wished we had more time to spend on the water but ended up with a decent box of fish for our efforts. We would surely book again the next time we are in the area!

    My captain had us fishing with a rig that was no right for the conditions we were fishing in. He also told us fish don’t eat live shrimp this time of year ???🤔🤫 I have been fishing my whole life never heard of this. I guess since I told my captain we were came from Tennessee so he thought he could tell us anything I WOULD NOT GO ON 6DEEP OR RECOMMEND YOU GO

Bull Redfish are gathering off the beaches and make for an amazing spectacle as they head to their breeding grounds. Weather conditions can put a halt to offshore fishing charters, so make sure to be flexible.

Mom books charters all over the country for her and her son. She chose a 4 hr morning trip and they walked away with plenty of fish. They had a nice mix of sheepshead and spanish mackerel! This trip earned us a 5 star review. I think its safe to say they had a blast!

We had a scare with the possibility of the rain but luckily for these customers it was clear skies and fish on fire! This father wanted to spend the day with his daughters and what better way then catching dinner! We love to see some healthy competition along the way. Every trip keeps getting better and better!
