6 HR Trip - Deep Sea Fishing4 adults

Absolutely phenomenal experience with Captain Lacy on the Reel Stubborn! From the moment we stepped aboard, Captain Lacy struck the perfect balance between being professional, welcoming, and playful, making the trip both seamless and incredibly fun. The Reel Stubborn was the ideal vessel for our adventure, just the right size to offer both comfort and safety while easily handling the ocean’s swells. You could tell this boat was made for serious fishing, but with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the ride. We booked the six-hour trip, and it couldn’t have been better. It gave us enough time to switch target species mid-trip, starting with Kingfish and then shifting gears to chase tuna and barracuda. Captain Lacy’s knowledge and flexibility were top-notch. Thanks to his expert guidance and hands-on tips, we pulled in a great number of fish! He walked us through how to get them to the boat quickly and efficiently, no matter what your experience level. He also had multiple types of rods on hand, tailored to different skill sets and strengths, making each catch a totally unique and thrilling experience. Can’t recommend this trip enough. Whether you’re a first-timer or an experienced angler, Captain Lacy and the Reel Stubborn deliver a 5-star fishing adventure you won’t forget. We’re already planning our next trip

    Best trip ever!!

    6 HR Trip - Deep Sea Fishing • 2 adults • 1 child

    I took my 12 yr old son on a fishing trip to Pompano Beach. With so many charters out there, we picked Captain Lacy Ingram and Reel Stubborn Charters, after watching all of his YouTube videos. It was an amazing trip. Captain Lacy brought along his son as his crew. Both were absolutely the best. Their knowledge on everything (fish,the ocean, wildlife, boating, and of course fishing), was really awesome. Catching fish, was just an added bonus! They both treated my son and I like family. Both of them are so enthusiastic about what they do, it makes the trip so enjoyable. Can't say enough good things!! We'll definitely be back!

    Amazing Trip!!!

    6 HR Trip - Deep Sea Fishing • 4 adults

    Still smiling from one of the best experiences ever—our deep sea fishing trip was absolutely incredible! From the moment we headed out, the views were stunning and the captain made everything easy and fun. He was knowledgeable, patient, and knew exactly where to take us. The fishing itself was amazing—Whether you’re experienced or it’s your first time, this is something you have to try at least once. The thrill of the catch, the ocean breeze, and the memories we made… just unforgettable. Highly recommend Lacy with Reel Stubborn this trip to anyone looking for adventure, relaxation, and a whole lot of fun on the water! Thank you soooo much Lacy SC

    Great Offshore Day

    8 HR Trip - Deep Sea Fishing • 1 adult

    Captain Ingram is awesome!! Beautiful Conch 27...Clean and well organized boat that shows pride and professionalism in what he does. Captain Ingram is engaging, conversational and genuinely a great guy to hang out with while fishing. I enjoyed talking and joking around while trolling and Kite fishing. I did an 8 hour trip and for me it flew by. We had a tough day with a lot of weeds but he NEVER gives up, tries various techniques and presentations to catch fish and stays in contact with other vessels out in the ocean collaborating about whats working. At some point I will be back in the area and will absolutely check with him to go out again.

    Yes sir we got it done! Fun day with you on the water

    Great experience

    Late Start 4 HR - Deep Sea Fishing • 2 adults

    We took the 4-hour tour starting at 8am with Captain Lacy on the Reel Stubborn Fishing Charter and had a fantastic experience. It was a bit of a slow start, but Captain Lacy stayed persistent and kept working to find the fish. His effort paid off and we ended up landing two great ones—a wahoo and a tuna—which made the trip even more exciting. Captain Lacy was very professional and you could tell he genuinely cared about making sure we had a great time. He even stayed out an extra 30 minutes on the way back to the dock to give us another chance to hook one more fish, which we really appreciated. We’d definitely book with him again the next time we visit Florida and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great fishing trip.

    you wont regret it.

    8 HR Trip - Deep Sea Fishing • 2 adults

    iv been a long time fisherman. iv been lucky to do some amazing fishing in my life on different guide boats and even live in worlds class fishing area myself. you cant fake knowledge which capt lacy has. Capt lacy is also very patient with you. I probably annoyed him with a million different questions everything from what tides you want to fish to water temp to gear size and he explained everything in detail. even if we didnt catch anything my wife and i had a amazing time we were very fortunate to catch very large wahoo and a very large sail fish and even a couple Baracouda and had probably dozen other bites and lost 1 near the boat. can’t recommend capt lacy enough.
