Was a wonderful first fishing trip with my son!  Derek and John were awesome.  They were so good with my young son (he’s twelve).  Derek let him sit up top and talk his ear off the whole time.  John worked hard to make sure we had fish on the line.  My son’s face with his first fish will be a memory I have forever.  Thank you so much!

We were scheduled to go on charter on Wednesday but the weather was not looking good so the Captain texted me to see if we could go a day early.  We were able to go on Tuesday and the weather was beautiful.  We caught 18 fish and has a blast bringing them in.  The Captain Derek and 1st mate Jonathan were both very knowledgeable great to fish with.  Great 1st time experience with a fishing charter.  Looking forward to next charter.  Hope Derek and Jonathan are available next time.

I have watched Derek grow from a boat washer to one of the fleets top mate now turned captain!! He is going to do whatever it takes to put fish in the box!! I promise you that Derek will give you 110% both on and off the water. He is a very talented and knowledgeable fisherman and when it comes time to decide who you want to charter for you next fishing adventure I HIGHLY recommend Capt. Derek Nelson with Back N Black Sporfishing!! You will not be disappointed!! Tight Lines!!!

These guys like Fishing! The mate constantly working the lines, keeping them fresh. We fished on 7/17&18/23. Caught dolphin, black fin, sail fish and a small blue marlin. The air conditioned salon was refreshing, to get out of the heat of the day while the captain navigated to the next fishing location. We would definitely recommend this charter. The captain and mate have a great working relationship that made the trip enjoyable and productive.

We had an awesome time with captain Derek and his first mate Johnathan on the back’n black. Highly recommend Derek if you are wanting to do deep sea fishing. Derek went above and beyond to satisfy our group by landing a double header of sailfish. We got one on the boat for pictures and released both of them. Also landed dolphin, tile fish, and some jacks. He is very knowledgeable on what to do and will get you on fish.  It was Awesome!!!
