    From First Cast to Fresh Lunch, A Five-Star Offshore Fishing Experience

    5 Hour Trip offshore reef4 adults

    We had an awesome offshore fishing trip today with Brighter Days Sport Fishing and Captain Craig! The boys and I had a great time from start to finish. We caught mahi, triggerfish, and vermilion, stayed on fish most of the trip, and Captain Craig kept things fun by sharing stories and local knowledge while we were out on the water. After the trip, he cleaned all of our fish and recommended taking our catch to The Salty Pearl, where they cooked it up for lunch. It doesn't get much fresher than that, and it was the perfect way to end the day. If you're looking to try offshore fishing, whether it's your first trip or you're an experienced angler, I highly recommend Brighter Days Charter Fishing and Captain Craig. Great captain, great experience, and memories we'll be talking about for a long time. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Caught a Record Breaking Red Snapper!!!

    6 hour offshore reef5 adults

    Phenomenal time! Captain Craig was great, very knowledgeable, helpful and all around nice guy. We spent 6 hours offshore doing mostly bottom fishing. But Captain Craig helped us put a few other lines in to drift fish. Caught a bunch of Vermillion Snapper, plus an absolutely giant 20 lb red snapper and 2 amberjack. Would absolutely recommend Captain Craig!

    Reported Catch

    We had a great day of fishing with Captain Craig. What a knowledgeable, friendly gentleman. Great weather, calm seas and nearly limited out! I will definitely reach out for a charter next time I am in the Pensacola area. Thanks, Craig, for a great day!

    Perdido Key

    5 hour offshore reef pm3 adults

    Captain Craig was great he was very knowledgeable of where to catch certain fish and made sure we definitely caught something. we csme out with catching a decent amount of Trigger Fish none that we could keep unfortunately due to being undersized. We did however hit yhe honey pot with catching 12 Vermillion Snapper that were all keepers. The Amber Head would have been nice but we lost him he put up a reslly good fight. I Recommend booking with Capatain Craig

    Response from Captain

    thank you Barry enjoy the rest of your stay in our area hopefully you can get to beach a little chilly

    Captain Craig takes care of everything: from baiting the lines, to taking fish off the hooks and finally cleaning. As a seasoned veteran, Craig knows where the fish are. This was my family’s first deep sea fishing adventure-amazing.
