This 3-hour fishing trip was supposed to be about relaxing, but the fish clearly didn’t get the memo. The kids were reeling them in nonstop, including a huge redfish, a puffer fish that looked permanently surprised, and several other species that apparently wanted to be part of the adventure.

Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, dolphins showed up to inspect our fishing skills, and manatees cruised by like they owned the place. The kids had a blast, the adults had a blast, and even the fish seemed to enjoy the attention.

If you’re looking for a family fishing trip filled with action, wildlife, and enough fish stories to last until next vacation, this is it. Highly recommend!

Big Al was fantastic—exactly what you hope for on a family fishing trip. He was incredible with our kids, kept them engaged the entire time, and made sure everyone was having fun from start to finish.

We had nonstop action and were catching fish the whole trip—probably around 10 each—which was perfect for keeping the kids excited. We caught a great variety including whiting, pinfish, and jacks, plus even a stingray and a blue crab, which the kids thought was awesome.

On top of the fishing, we also saw manatees and jumping rays, which made the whole experience even more memorable.

Big Al was also just really fun to be around—easy to talk to, entertaining, and clearly knows exactly what he’s doing out there.

Highly recommend Big Al, especially for families with kids. We’d absolutely book with him again.
Thanks Al, we will see you next year!

Within minutes of leaving the dock we had our lines in the water. Al baited and casted for us as we caught about 6 different varieties of fish. Then the BIG SPLASH and it was “Fish On!”. It was a big stingray which Al estimated to be about 40lbs. This fish was a fig
hter and breached the water multiple times trying to release the hook. After 30 minutes we decided it was time to let it go. Al manuvered his boat into perfect position giving is advise along the way. Excellent adventure that we will talk about for years. Thank you Al

Big Al was great!!  Put us on some fish right away and even caught a couple sharks…which was awesome!!!  Big Al was very knowledgeable about the water and was very helpful and attentive to us on the boat that werent very experienced fishermen!!

Awesome Experience. I was running late due to car issues and it was my son’s 14th birthday, so this trip had to happen! Big Al waited quite a while for us to arrive. Al is native to the area and was very knowlegable! Told great stories that had my kids engaged 6&14! Thank you Al I had to leave with the military the next day, so you made his birthday catching that shark 🦈
