    Colin was awesome!!!

    2 hour inshore P.M. • 2 adults

    My wife didn’t want to go out to deep sea for half a day so we booked the 2 hour trip with captain Colin. He is one cool dude! He was very friendly, took us around Escambia Bay to some great spots, and we caught about 20 fish. We caught red fish, bass, some breed of tarpon, and even a croaker (which I had never heard of so Colin taught us about it). We even caught two 20in redfish which Colin cleaned and bagged for us which tasted amazing. I would highly recommend booking with Colin and having a great time catching fish!

    Exactly what I was looking for

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore • 2 adults

    Colin worked very hard looking for fish. We caught rat reds at about every spot and ended up with two in the slot. Colin is very knowledgeable of the area. His boat and equipment worked fine. I'm aging a little and don't feel like messing with my boat. Colin is a great guide.

    Started rainy & slow but ramped up nicely

    4 Hour Inshore Trip (PM) • 3 adults

    capt collin put us on some fish right away. but a big storm blew in so we sat for what seemed like an eternity under a big bridge. Fishing was slow after that and a couple in my party got wet and cold and decided to go home. Capt stayed w me, added an extra hour to our trip and put me on a hot spot that really was so much fun!

    Father and daughter trip

    4 Hour Trip – Inshore • 2 adults

    All together, I think we caught about 30 fish. Got a couple of keepers, not all were the biggest, but it was very fun. My daughter had never caught a fish. And she definitely had a blast. And caught many, so I'm happy with that. Great experience.. Well, definitely check it out again.If we are in the area

    We had a great time and can’t wait to get back!

    2 Hour Trip – Inshore • 3 adults

    We decided last minute to book an inshore fishing trip and we’re so excited that we were able to book with Fin Addicts. From start to finish, everything was relaxed and enjoyable. We were able to catch a few keepers, and brought them home to have for supper. Overall, a great way to finish our vacation!

    Reported catch:
    Redfish
    Speckled Trout
    Ladyfish

After that it was just catch and release till the rain came. Dont miss out redfish are Florida’s most popular game fish for a reason and if love to have you fishing with me!
