Last-minute booking for my 50th birthday with the family. Lines in the water in 30 minutes, first fish minutes later. 20 Spanish, 10 Ribbonfish, 1 Albacore and 1 Cobia in 4 hours!
Knowledgeable, great attitude, and hard-working. Would definitely go again.
Thanks for the great day!

We had a great time and were highly impressed on how fast the captain put us on the fish. His first mate Ross was outstanding. Always on top of any issues that were presented and expertise of working with beginners to experience. I highly recommend the Poacher and will definitely book them again on our next trip.
This was the best! Iโve been on charters before but this is so personalโฆ not a million other people packed on to a boat. It was just me and my son taking a last minute vacation. We booked this one for an ocean fishing experience, but due to a swell in the ocean we couldnโt do that. Instead we did bay/sound fishing and it was the best! Caught fish left and right and my son had the best time! Must go with these guys, super nice, easy going and fun!
This trip was unreal! Captain Devin knew exactly how to put us on the fish and the first mate worked non stop to help us bring in as many fish as possible. We ended up taking home 50+ lbs of ribbonfish and albacore, but the best part by far was when the captain put us on a school of redfish. Everyone in the boat had a 40lb fish on at the same time, I didnโt even know redfish could grow that big. It was an unforgettable trip and Iโd do it all over again.
The children (16, 15 and 11 year olds) opted for the morning excursion, which left at 7:30 a.m., to avoid the blistering heat that hit the area during our stay.
Captain Devin set directly out to an area within a 20-minute boat ride which resulted in our lines being hit within seconds of dropping them in, and he slowly trolled the area and paused when we had to reel in the catch.
Ross, the first mate, did a spectacular job in keeping the lines functional, out and flipped the fish off as fast as we were catching themโabout 18 an hour on average.
We walked away with 36 pounds of blue fish and Spanish mackerel, which we took for preparation the following two days to restaurants that participate in โYou Hook โEm; We Cook โEm.โ
Boat was clean. Conversations were chock-full of information, and we had a great time!
