Being an “Old Fart” of sixty-seven years, I have been on a few excursions in my life, yet this charter that we booked with Captain Randy was a once in a lifetime experience. Saturday, December 30th was the date and the weather had been marginal, so we planned a trip to begin at 12 noon that day. When we arrived at the dock, met Captain Randy, his wife (and first mate) Amy, they were very kind and made us feel very welcomed. The weather turned out to be spectacular, as we got underway the captain shared with us his story about the red tagged fish which was incredible and be sure to ask him to share. We arrived at our destination and the captain immediately went to work, there was five of us besides the captain, he baited each pole, made the cast and by the time the last had been handed over the first had a bite! There he attended and assisted on the boat as the next bite came and so on, again and again…just amazing. I really can’t say what was more fun, watching all those fish come on board or the choreography of this really talented Skipper dancing all around his boat. We had a blast and just short of three hours had our limit totaling eighty-one pounds of Black Drum and Redfish….now that is a fish story! Thank you, Captain Randy and Amy, for providing each one of us an experience that we will always remember and cherish!!

We started a little slow and had to move a couple of times before I caught my first Red (ever) 25” a little later I caught a second about the same size. Also caught black drum.
At the end of our trip Randy took us to another place where he said we might catch a really big red and that’s where my son Tom hooked and landed a 32” red (see attached video)
Right after that I hooked something really big that immediately ripped off about 100’ of line the drag was screaming but couldn’t land the fish because the line got hung up on something below and broke off.
Really exciting!!
