Fishing Trip of a Lifetime!

4 Hour Trip – Nearshore - 3:30 PM3 adults

I thought when we signed up it was going to be just a inshore 4 hour trip. Right away Captain Jake gave us some option. We went deep sea fishing. We caught sharks, and Jackfish! It was a blast. We fished till the end. We ended the trip with a huge fish on the line. Jake kept us workig the fished till we landed it. We went way over time! He is the best Captain you could hope for!!!

    Limited out for all the cousins

    4 Hour Red Snapper Trip (6:30AM) • 6 adults • 3 children

    Jake was a great captain. First time for our little ones and he helped all the way through. We landed some really big ones and a few that got away, but Jake corrected some of the issues we were having (our technique) and we landed some monsters! Great overall experience. Waves started to get a bit higher and captain correctly called for an end due to safety concerns. All had a blast, caught limits and most importantly all were safe. Great first time experience for our little ones and the captain did it all right. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to catch big fish far out.

    Best fishing trip I’ve ever experienced

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore • 3 adults

    Captain Jake did an outstanding job of explaining how to catch our fish, taking us to great spots, and setting us up for success. Fortunately the fish were biting and we caught our limit within the first hour. He then took us to other locations to catch other fish for us to catch and keep. My wife was a first time fisher and he was quick to bait and cast for her all throughout our trip. My dad and I have been multiple times and we both agreed it was the best trip we have ever taken. I’ll only ever fish with Red Eye Charter whenever I’m back in the area

    Captain Jake is the way to go!

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore - 11:00 AM • 6 adults

    What a fun trip! Captain Jake put us on fish as soon as we stopped throttling! He knows where the fish are and is a fun easy to talk to Captain. We had a large 6 person boat and all 6 of us had fish on within 20 minutes. I will definitely book again with Red Eye Charters again. What was awesome was to be welcomed with Captain Gary at the docks who owns Red Eye! He was excited for our loot and helped Jake clean all the fish. We cooked up a few filets tonight and omg were they tasty. I will definitely fish again with Red Eye and you better book them early! They are hot!

    Great trip!

    4 Hour Trip – Nearshore • 5 adults

    It was a great trip regardless of the weather. The captain was super helpful and doing his best to put us in the right spot to land fish but mother nature had other plans and he still made it work. Definitely will book again in the future and will recommend to others. A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work!

    3 Hour Trip – Nearshore - 11:00 AM • 4 adults

    Captain Jake was super nice. He had just got on some fish the trip before us so we hightail it back to the same spot and absolutely slaughtered them. I have fished a lot in my lifetime and this might be the best 45 minutes of fishing I’ve ever seen. He worked his absolute butt off. Highly recommend. three ladies with me all some level of novice as anglers had an absolute blast. Obviously we got a little lucky hitting this spot, but clearly he knows where to go.
