Everything from the Captain, first mate, the boat, the fishing equipment, and all things in-between was fantastic. James, the first mate, was informative and very kind to a number of our first timers. The Captain knew exactly where to go to catch our bait fish and sailfish. About ten minutes in fishing we hooked a sailfish. After about 30ish minutes we landed it. Captain Brad called the day before to confirm everything, provide info about the conditions, and made sure we knew how to find his boat... Mais

Capt. Travis is one of the best fishing guides I’ve ever used (and I’ve used a lot). Great attitude and demeanor.  He asked us what we were looking to catch, and he delivered tremendous fishing action for every kind of fish we were looking for (snapper, grouper, sharks) immediately the moment we pulled up to each spot. My son and nephews had a blast, and were wondering about whether we could come back soon.  Highly recommend!

Everyone was complaining that they weren’t catching any fish.  Captain Brad and first mate, James did not disappoint.  James kept 7 plus lines going effortlessly and we caught seven different kinds of fish from red snapper to Mahi Mahi.  Took it to a restaurant and ate it same day and shared it with the restaurant staff.  Nothing like it.  Melt in your mouth fish!  Thanks Captain Brad and James!!

Captain Brad and James were organized, tactical and hardworking - made for a successful and unforgettable trip. Choppy water but they made us feel very safe. Put us on 3 sailfish and caught plenty of eaters too. Could have brought us back to shore but fished to the last minute hunting down the 3rd sailfish. Sushi at the docks (incredible), filleted our fish, offered pictures, gave restaurant recommendations, gave us the leader of the first sailfish we ever caught - lots of attention to detail... Mais

Capt. James and First Mate Jameson were awesome.  Boat was clean and organized.  Gear was top notch. The fish cooperated.  Trolled for Mahi Mahi.  At one point, three on at once. Jameson was ready with spinning gear if other fish followed the first one in.  Jameson was great with our special needs son. They cleaned, filleted and bagged our catch.  Highly recommend Southpaw Fishing.
