Captain Blake and his First Mate, Jake definitely checked all the boxes for an exciting and fun filled day out on the water!  Blake ensured we had the best time and worked hard to keep us on the fish despite choppy seas.  We started on time, Blake and Jake were very helpful and patient with my guests who most of which have never been off-shore fishing before, and there was excellent communication the entire day.  We booked an 8 hour trip and after we spent some time caching live bait, we started trolling for wahoo and Mahi. After awhile when we weren’t seeing any success trolling, we switched to bottom fishing and ended with a respectable haul. We caught a wide variety of fish, including red and vermillion snapper, red grouper, almaco jack, and porgy.  I even was able to catch my personal best fish, a nice gag grouper.  As our trip neared the end, we trolled most of the way back in. 
  This was a very fun and memorable experience despite the thunderstorms and the rough water . It was definitely worth the money and I would put Finatical Charters at the top of my list of things to do on my next trip to the Destin area.

We took a 4hr afternoon trip and had a great time we caught plenty of fish and the captain and deck were great I would definitely recommend and would book again. Thanks again for the trip.

We really appreciated Captain Blake and Mate Cole for all their enthusiasm and efforts. Thank you gentlemen and we will see you again soon!

The Destin area is a great place to fish.  We picked one of the worst possible days to go out.  (This is not normal for the time of year)  Current one direction and wind from the other.  Captain Blake fought it with the boat all day.  He did a remarkable job keeping us in the right position all day in these conditions.

We caught fish all day!  Small fish, medium fish, and some really nice sized fish. 

It was not an easy day for the captain or crew, but I cannot give them enough praise for the work they put in.  This work brought in a bunch of fish, one proud dad, and one over the moon son.

Fellas, a sincere thank you for the work you put in!  Hope to be back soon.
