This was our (father and two boys, 17 and 19) first experience with an ocean charter fishing trip and Captain James did not disappoint!ย We are land locked trout fisherman from Colorado therefore had no idea what to expect.ย His wealth of knowledge and experience was immediately evident as we hauled in about 30 fish at the very first spot he put us on!ย We even were able to try our hand at battling a couple of sharks!ย Itโs too bad the sharks eventually won the battles but we had a blast trying to land them.ย When we come back to Destin for another fishing trip, and we will be back, Captain James will be the first person we dial up!ย Thank you Captain!

You guys caught a ton of fish. Never a dull minute. The sharks did have our number, but we gave them a good fight. I am looking forward to our next adventure next time you are in the area. Great review. I really do appreciate it.

Thereโs no such thing as a bad day of fishingโฆthat said, some bigger fish would have been moโ fun. Nonetheless, we got onto a bunch of red snapper very quickly (couldnโt keep - not in season). Then moved into bay for a bucket of Spanish Mackerel. Iโd recommend a longer charter if youโre looking for bigger fish. Capt James was great. Most impressive was the hospitality. Capt had a blanket to keep the wife warm and a dry towel in case of a rogue wave. And a magical elixir for seasickness. Fileted the fish nicely and packed us up with a redneck Yeti. Two thumbs up. Will do again (longer) when we come back. Thanks, Capt James.

Thanks for a great review. Longer trips really do help be able to hit more spots looking for good size of fish and more eaters. Wave action did not help much and pushed us towards calmer bay water. We took what mother nature allowed for and were able to grab some decent meat for your journey.ย Hopefully next trip will be a little calmer and a little warmer water were the mahi will be in the area. You both were great..

We had such a great time out on the water with Apex Charters and Captain James Scott. He is so easy to work withโcalled us the day before to chat through the weather and plans and had everything ready to go the morning of. While the wind wasnโt ideal for going out to sea (but he still tried just to make sure which we appreciated), we had a great time in the bay and still ended up with more fish than we could eat for dinner! We caught Spanish Mackerel and it was so delicious. Captain James kept us safe, happy and laughing the whole time. If you can find a day that isnโt yet booked, book it quick - you wonโt be sorry!

What a great review and an awesome group to spend part of the day with. Your son made the trip so memorable for me. He talked to every fish as he realed it in, i couldnโt help but smile the whole trip. We did have to work around the weather but were able to get some fish for dinner and made a ton of good memories. I really do hope we can go out again soon. Thanks again.

My husband and I had a great experience with Captain James. He is very knowledgeable about where to catch which fish and made everything easy for us. Captain James tailored everything to the experience we wanted to have. We were able to catch some fish for dinner, and he made sure they were fileted and ready to go as well as let us know which restaurants would cook them up for us! We chose Tailfins Waterfront Grill and it was the best meal of the whole trip. Next time my husband and I are in Destin, we are definitely booking 8 hours with Captain James!
