The weather was great but the fish weren’t initially cooperating. Captain Pete showed off his extensive knowledge of the Bay and connected waters and kept at it until he found the fish.
We ended up catching a wide range of fish including sheepshead, spotted trout and Black Drum.
At one of our last stops, my 8 year old daughter hooked into not one, but two giant fish. The first 30 pound black drum we got to the boat but then it pulled the hook. The second 35+ pound black drum initiated a run of easily 200 yards before Captain Pete ultimately decided to let it tow the boat in an attempt to wear it out. My daughter stuck with it and reeled the fish on all by herself. The sense of victory we all felt after a 30 minute fight on very light tackle will stick with us forever.
When asked what the best part was of a week long trip to the beach, my daughter immediately and emphatically answered “fishing with Captain Pete!”
We will definitely seek him out for future trips to the area.

We had to book a little last minute due to a tropical storm in the area. Captain Pete was honest with us about inshore fishing that day and we decided to go out on the ocean. I told him I was hesitant because we had dinner reservations that evening. He got us out, put us on some fish, my kids had an absolute blast and he had us back in time for dinner! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!!!
Captain Pete was pleasant, courteous, helpful, and informative. My daughters and I had a wonderful time fishing and conversing with Pete throughout our trip. We caught a variety of fish and the boat was spacious and well kept. I wish we would have purchased the extended fishing trip. We will certainly call on Bounty Bay PSJ Charters when we come back this way.
captain Pete was friendly and very knowledgeable and took us to great spots. we caught our limit of beautiful red snapper and had a great trip start to finish!
Captain Pete was an amazing captain. We caught our limit in the first spot! He was very attentive and helpful and would answer any question you had. One of the best fishing charters we’ve had out here. This is definitely a trip to do if you love catching some large fish. Overall, an amazing experience
