Had a great morning catching some sharks in the bay. Highly recommend this trip!

booked the sandbar trip & added on some fishing - what a great day led by Captain Trey - we left it in his hands to entertaining us.  started off with some snorkeling man made reef in bay, stopped by local joint for some refreshments.  took a ride out to fort Pickens area for some history & secluded island tour.  did a bit of fishing there and relaxed on the beautiful beach.  finished it off with some evening fishing.  couldn’t be more pleased with the Captain and him accommodating 2 gals with weak bladders.  while the trip isn’t listed, Southbound charters went out of their way to meet our needs & wants.  outstanding day!

My husband and I spent the weekend with our son who is a Marine stationed at Pensacola NAS. We booked the surf fishing trip and invited two of his fellow Marine buddies to join us. We have a boat but have never surf fished before so this was a new experience for all of us. Captain Taylor was all ready when we showed up and although the sky was dark and rain was threatening it didn’t actually rain. Taylor was willing to move locations down the beach if things didn’t go well and wait out the storm if necessary. Thankfully none of that was needed. We caught on the first catch and although we had few keepers we had an absolute blast. Taylor offered to filet any keepers so we can have a local restaurant cook it up but we were at a hotel and didn’t want to be bothered - catch & release was perfect for us. Taylor supplied the equipment, great food from a local restaurant, and drinks - who could complain? I highly recommend Captain Taylor and surf fishing!  We definitely want to do it again! THANK YOU!!

Wow! What an adventure! We first were greeted by the captain and the deckhand on the dock. Very helpful with loading up. I myself have trouble getting in and out of boats but they helped me get on the boat no problem. We lacked the coolers , they had cold waters for us! The boat is much bigger than I expected , it didn’t have a lot of seating but they brought us these bean bags that were so comfortable my sons fell asleep on the ride out. We stopped and got bait which was neat to see. We saw the dolphins and the crew was quick to point out and identify all the species of fish that were around the boat. We did some “trolling” caught a few king mackerel which fought really well. Next they took us on a 10 min boat ride the boat was fast and we booked it due to that. They sold us on the fact we got more fishing time.. and we did. We started catching big trigger fish , red snapper and we caught a small grouper. A school of mahi mahi came around and we caught 7 of those. Wow! My little son wanted to catch a shark and the crew made that look easy before handing it to my son . He struggled pulling it in but it was a big shark! We caught so many fish, saw awesome nature , the weather was enough the best at first but at the end of the day it turned out very nice. We booked another trip for the fall and we can’t wait! Excellent trip all around the Captain and crew are great and we very much so enjoyed ourselves!!

Captain Trey Baker was amazing!! The energy and enthusiasm he brought when he picked us up at the dock I just knew we would catch something that day. We have limited experience fishing and he coached us through the entire process. He is a pro. Great trip for beginners. He did exactly what he said he would do..he put us on some sharks and before the end of our tour not only did he have my 8yr old daughter catching sharks by herself but she was also holding them!! If we’re ever near pensacola again we’ll be looking this guy up!!
