Great day in the Gulf!

4 Hour Trip – Bottom Fishing2 adults

Great fishing trip in the gulf with my 14 y/o son! First time off shore fishing for both of us. Captain Justin called the day before our trip to see what types of fish we wanted to try to catch. He asked us to meet him earlier than our scheduled time to make sure we were able to get some bait fish, as they had run out the day prior. We were able to see some dolphins near the bait barge and then watch the sunset come up over Panama Beach as we rode out to the fishing spot. Justin put us on some Vermillion snapper right away. We also caught some grunts, a Remora, and a couple of triggerfish. He was able to catch a Bonita which he let my son reel in. After we had caught quite a few fish to keep, we moved to a different area to try to catch some bigger fish. I caught a red grouper and then we weren’t having any luck, so Justin moved us to another spot trying to get my son a bigger fish. Something kept snapping our lines in this spot so he moved us again a short distance away. We probably stayed a little longer on the water than we should have as he was working hard to get my son a bigger fish. My son was eventually able to hook a red snapper that we were able to take home and was so excited. Would definitely recommend Justin to anyone wanting to have a good experience catching fish!

    Outstanding Fishing Trip

    Captain's Recommendation (AM) • 2 adults

    First time my wife and I have tried this type of fishing. We didn’t know what to expect. We chose Capt.Justin and his team. What a great choice! Their customer service was simply “outstanding”! Weather moved in and Capt. Justin worked with his team to reschedule us into a later date and time, after the weather cleared, that worked for us. We were assigned to Capt. Chandler as our guide and boy did he do a great job. He is a wonderful person who set us up on our trip to catch scores of different types of fish. Never in our life have we caught so many fish in one outing! Please consider using Capt. Justin and his team and you won’t be disappointed.

    Amazing fishing trip

    6 Hour Trip • 2 adults

    Was my first time ever going deep sea fishing and my husband’s 2nd. By far the best one. Captain Justin kept in contact with us and let us know days ahead about troubling weather coming the day we was scheduled. He was able to get us rescheduled for earlier in the week and was still able to do our full six hour fishing trip. We ended up going with Captain Chandler and he was very knowledgeable and helpful. He always made sure our lawns had bait on them and even tried his best to let my husband catch a big fish, even though the fish kept biting through the line, taking the hook with it. Chandler tried for over an hour to fulfill that request. Even though my husband was unable to bring a amberjack on the boat, we had a fantastic time. I would definitely go ago with this company. 15/10 would recommend

    Lots of action on the line, knowledgeable and helpful Captain

    Captain's Recommendation (AM) • 3 adults

    We had a successful 4 hour trip with Captain Chandler. Captain Justin was in touch early in the week as soon as he noticed the weather and wind was not looking promising for our original date. We got switched to an earlier day in the week with Captain Chandler. Our main goal was to catch fish to keep and eat. We nearly caught our limit of Vermilion Snapper while out, along with several other types of fish including trigger fish and a bonita. Captain Chandler kept our hooks baited and the boat moving to where fish were biting. He was also very knowledgable about salt water fishing in general and was able to give us some more information about shore fishing options (we often surf fish when in the area). I will be keeping Captain Justin's information for future charters when we need them!

    10/10 Fishing Trip

    Captain's Recommendation (AM) • 2 adults

    This was mine and my girlfriend’s first time saltwater fishing and we couldn’t have asked for any better! Captain Justin was great, rescheduling us for an earlier date with Captain Chandler to work around bad weather and man was it worth it. Chandler was amazing, putting us on lots of fish and even a bullshark. Very friendly and knowledgeable crew. Would definetly recommend and look forward to doing it again!

    Ah-mazing Day!

    Captain's Recommendation (AM) • 2 adults

    Captain's Justin and Chandler are both recommend! Communication was easy and quick. It was our first trip out and Owner Captain Justin put us in the boat with his Captain Chandler who took us to the fish! A great day with catching our limit! Even extended our time an hour then took our catch to be cleaned and packaged. Great Charter - highly reccomend! They really put worth the effort to make sure you have a good time.
