The weather didn’t cooperate with us today, it was quite windy so going into the Gulf was not going to happen, but our captain did a great job finding areas that were more calm. The fish weren’t biting, but we caught a few regardless of the conditions.. All in all, it was a great day!!!

My grandson and I took the two hour trip which was just right for us.  Captain William was very accommodating. We saw a dolphin while we were out on the water and my grandson snagged a sea turtle. When the fish weren’t biting, Captain would move the boat to a different spot. We caught a few Redfish and Captain cleaned two of them for us to take home. I recommend booking a charter with Rebel Coast Charters for a fun and successful fishing trip.

Our second trip with Capt William on the Rebel Coast.  There will be a third…  We were on the fish from the first drop - sea bass, grouper, mackerel, grunt.  But here is why you gotta like William: the weather when we had scheduled our trip was very iffy, very cold days and possible big winds.  William called to talk about whether and how to be on the water.  Offered to push by one day since the forecast was a little better.  Offered to shorten the trip and call an audible if we wanted to keep fishing.  Offered to refund the deposit if we preferred to cancel. We moved by a day, agreed to head out and assess whether to stay on the water,  On the way out of Clearwater Bay to the Gulf, he specifically ran slower so we didn’t get sprayed and wet on a cold morning.  And it turned out to be a nice December day - chilly, a little wind but bright sun and calm water.  We were catching fish from the first drop and decided to stick with the 4 hour trip. And had a great morning.  William never stopped working, kept us on fish the whole time.  Good and knowledgeable and hard working captain, good guy, clean and well cared for boat, good gear, right bait.  Can’t ask for much more.
