A buddy of mine and I had an incredible offshore fishing experience with Captain Gary. He expertly guided us through several of his fishing spots, consistently putting us in the best spots to find action. His professionalism and experience was evident from start to finish. Being a licensed captain, he ran a safe and sturdy operation with excellent situational awareness. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary gear to ensure a successful outing. He also... More

Monster Red Grouper and Red Snapper went to the dinner table! What a fun experience making memories with these two! I so appreciate the review and the memories that we made. You guys were quick learners to the bite and listened to the old captain and for that you enjoyed the rewards. The gulf was so calm I couldn’t believe we were 45 miles offshore. Hope you guys look me up again when you get back this way. I truly enjoyed my day with you onboard!

Richard thank you for the review. The sharks were definitely out today in the tall water. The big fish never stood a chance as we were “sharked” with almost any big fish. Hope you guys enjoy the rest of your trip and we will always keep a light on for you!

Captain Gary and deck hand Aiden were awesome. My wife and I booked them for a 4 hour trip. We caught Amberjacks, Grouper, and a Goliath Grouper which was a highlight. The boat was well kept and the equipment was solid. The crew was quick and efficient at switching out gear and baiting hooks. Just an all around great experience!

Unfortunately it was a windy day but Gary still did great to make the best of it. We didn’t get as much offshore fishing in as we would’ve like it Gary found us some other spots to fish. When the wind died down enough he got us back out. We ended the day on a great note catching a Goliath grouper. Gary knows his fishing.

Let me say first off my wife and I had a blast we was on fish every min of every hour. We knew nothing about deep sea fishing we love bass fishing back home in Kentucky but found out that it’s very different than deep sea fishing. With captain Gary’s lifelong deep sea fishing experience he turned amateurs into amateurs who caught some massive fish. I texted him when I scheduled this appointment and told him me and my wife has never been and wanted to catch some HOGS and let me tell ya he put... More

I fish all over the United States from Alaska to Hawaii to the Atlantic and Great Lakes. When I say this Capt knows what he’s doing I mean it! He is such a fun guy to fish with and at the same time is seriously driven to put fish on the deck. This is the most fun I’ve ever had on a charter. I caught more grouper and snapper than I could keep track of. Don’t let the picture of 4 fish fool ya! That was my legal limit. From the first spot to the last I was reeling in fish. Lastly, the Capt... More

Nicholas, There are some people that do this for the money and then there are a few like me that do it for the experiences, memories, and relationships built along the way. What a fun day today! Thank you so much for the review and I hope you and your family enjoy the fresh fish and your stay in Florida. Looking forward to having you onboard again real soon!
