I was born and bred in Panama City, and have spent my life on the water fishing and hunting. I love the outdoors and enjoy taking people fishing. I use a range of techniques depending on which fish we are targeting, and I look forward to showing you the ropes. My motto is: 'I will put you on the fish!'

    Beautiful day on the water

    6 Hour Trip AM • 4 adults

    Capt. and crew all very friendly. Capt. called a couple of days before the charter and asked if we wanted to move it forward a day due to a front coming in. (witch we did) Made for a calm day of fishing witch we loved. it was a tough bite but the Capt did find us some good fish to take home. talked to a lot of other fishermen that day that came back with nothing. So it was worth spending a little extra and booking with someone with many years of experience. Would recommend this charter to anyone. Thanks everyone for a great time.

    Great Time

    4 Hour Trip – Trolling (PM) • 5 adults • 2 children

    My wife, 3 kids, and myself got a hold of Craig last minute to see if they were still running due to weather issues. They got us in Friday night so we could get some fishing in before Saturday departure back home. Brandon the deckhand even came back from home to get us in! They were up front about fishing being rough due to recent hurricane. We were still able to go out snag a handful and Brandon even cleaned them for us. Overall great experience, Brandon was great to talk to and edicated us on a lot. Will definitely be running with these guys again!

    September fishing trip

    6 Hour Trip AM • 6 adults

    We had an amazing experience with this fishing charter! Craig (Captain) and Brandon were absolutely fantastic— and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. It was a slow-biting day, but they worked hard and made sure everyone had the opportunity to catch something. You could really tell they cared about making the trip enjoyable for everyone. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this charter to anyone looking for a fun day on the water!

    Captain was friendly and got us where the fish were.It was our first deep sea fishing experience. We were able to have our fish cleaned and processed by the boat also.Which is very convenient. we will probably try the 6 hour trip next year.

    We had a great time!

    6 Hour Trip (PM) • 5 adults • 3 children

    We had a wonderful trip with Captain Craig and deckhand Brandon. It was so nice to have AC inside whenever we needed a break from the heat. We caught tons of fish and our 3 boys had a blast. Will definitely be rebooking!
