Great Trip

SF 6 hr Seasonal or Snapper 101 PM6 adults

Family came down here to PCB to spend Thanksgiving. While down we wanted to put in some fishing time with the kids, that had never been before, but the weather was a little questionable. We decided to go ahead book a 6hr with Reel Deal for some bottom fishing. at first the weathet conditions were not good but the Reel Deal stayed in contact with us and was able to adjust our days and boat for a better experience. During our trip out on Saturday evening, the weather turned out very nice, seas were mostly calm, and everybody had a great time. Kids loved it and were wore out by the end. We caught keeper Vermillions, Triggers, Grouper, and more. Highly recommend booking with Reel Deal if you are in town.

    Went above and beyond

    SF – 8 Hr Snapper XPress • 5 adults

    Captain Bubba and Jake put us right on the fish! We came for red snapper, left with our limit. We all got our first shark fight and ended up landing it thanks to these guys. They made our trip more than enjoyable and put up with our group, which is a lot by itself. Loved the quiet marina in St. Andrews. The boat offered plenty of space, a place to hide from the sun, AC, and a bathroom. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip! I highly recommend taking a trip with these guys. We’ll be looking at using them again for our next annual trip!

    Response from Charter operator

    Thanks, Damon! It was a pleasure having y'all aboard. Sounds like that shark gave y'all something to talk about! 😄 I'm glad your first red snapper trip ended with a limit of fish, great memories, and a story I'm sure will get a little better every time it's told. And thanks for mentioning the boat. We work hard to give our guests a great day on the water, and having an air-conditioned cabin, a clean restroom, and a place to get out of the sun can make a long day on the Gulf a whole lot more enjoyable. Hope to see y'all again next year. Enjoy that fresh fish!

    Worth Every Penny!!!

    SF – 6 Hr Snapper 101 • 5 adults

    Booked Reel Deal Fishing Charters-Short Fuse for a 6 hour morning trip October 23, 2025 for a group of 5 guys. Captain Bubba did a great job putting us on fish and Deral did a great job keeping cutbait on the lines, getting the fish in the boat, and getting us back in game fast. We caught a lot of fish, had a great time, and had one helluva fish fry when we got back to the beach home. Will definitely book again in the future and highly recommend them for anyone visiting the PCB area and looking for a good time on the water.
