5 Stars in all categories! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Captain Ryan of 30A Shallow Water Guide Service was great. He was communicative throughout the booking and very knowledgeable of the local Bay and surrounding backwaters. He was very friendly and attentive to our family of 4, keeping the lines baited and in the water. Spanish mackeral was the fish of the day for us and there were plenty to be had. Pickup and drop off were seamless, and we went home with a nice bag of cleaned fish for tacos.... More

Two adults took four kids out with Captain Ryan. He took is right out to a hot spot and we had some fish on within five minutes. Yes, we got lucky with some good fishing but he knew right where to go in West Bay. He also managed to keep all six of our hooks with fresh live bait and out in the water without overlapping too much, a tough thing to do with the wind. We had a lady fish on at one point, tangling us all up in knots but he was able to get us back in action in a few minutes. Great trip,... More

Ryan was the perfect fishing guide and it also was the perfect trip for our group. He spent a full 4 hours leading our group to lots of fish!!! They caught bonnet head sharks, trout, lady fish, red fish, catfish and more and our group caught 20 plus fish a piece at least!!! We took home filleted fish and had a great blackened shark and trout fish taco meal tonight!! It was delicious !! He taught us so much about fish and he was hands on in every way!! Don’t hesitate booking a fishing trip with... More

Definitely book with Ryan. Great time as we caught drum, red snapper and cat fish.

“Hands down the best part of our 30A trip. Our guide put us right on the fish so fast I’m convinced he’s got them trained like pets. Boat was spotless, gear was solid, and the jokes were as good as the fishing. We caught so many fish I half expected one to jump in the cooler just to save time. If you want a guide who knows his stuff and keeps you laughing, this is the one.”
