Big Red October

Half Day live bait trip3 adults

Captain Ryan put us on the fish. My first cast,first red was one of my top three personal bests, in the 25 plus (lbs not inches) range. We had to toss lots of over the slot reds to get a limit, with several keeper trout in the mix. Just a great trip!!! Thank you Captain Ryan!!!

    Great day with Capt. Ryan and the family

    Full Day live bait trip • 4 adults

    We had family visiting from out of town and decided a day in the water would be a wonderful shared experience. Despite less than ideal conditions, Captain Ryan of McCain’s Shallow Water Experiences persevered putting us on multiple schools of fish. The result: a great day with the family and some beautiful redfish, drum, and speckled trout that will not only make for great stiries but several wonderful dinners. Thanks Capt. Ryan!

    best trip ever. 100% Recommend

    4 hour am trip • 2 adults

    As soon as we arrived at the dock, Ryan welcomed us like we had known him forever. He has a very nice boat with a smooth, comfortable ride, and he was professional throughout the entire trip. He really knows the best fishing spots — we ended up catching 13 fish, including redfish and speckled trout, ranging from 22 to 28 inches long. Overall, it was a great experience!

    Captain McCain is great. We had an amazing time fishing with him. He’s patient and very knowledgeable of the area and almost guarantees you will catch fish. We love the experience and will continue going with him. We recommend him to anyone that wants to have fun and catch fish.

    Great First Experience with a Guide

    4 hour am trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    Capt. Ryan was super friendly and knowledgeable. He knew exactly were the fish were biting. We limited out on Blackdrum and Speckled Trout. We had a blast would definitely recommend him and book with him again the next time we are in town.

    Captain Ryan

    Half Day live bait trip • 4 adults • 2 children

    I took my son on his 10th birthday fishing trip. with my other son 12 and my father 75. We have fished all over the world. But this day was something special. Ryan is the MAN. All i can say is we left the boat and booked another trip. Fishing was incredible, but more so Ryan and his way of creating an experience was what made the day it was. Plus we caught so many good fish it was so fun!
