  Great Captain!

  Sunset Fishing Trip on July 23, 2026 • 4 adults

  We had to reschedule due to the storms, but we finally were able to get out on the water. we werent able to go into the gulf due to the high waves but were able to make the best of the bay. We came across a swarm of red fish rounded by dolphins that put on quite a show. Our captain whipped the boat around and it was game on! We were able to wrangle up about a 30lb Red fish which was awesome! We didnt have much anywhere else but it wasnt from lack of the captain trying, fish just werent biting. He was knowledgable and helped keep my 9 yr old busy with all of his crazy questions. I would definitely do it again but hopefully able to go out into the gulf next time!

  Great trip and kids had fun!

  3 Hour – Nearshore Trolling (AM) on April 1, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

  We took a last minute, 3 hour trolling charter with Capt. Tanner. Myself and the kids, two 18 year olds and one 11 year old, had a great time. Capt. Tanner was laid back, professional, knowledgeable and made sure we had a good time. He got us on to fish fast and they stayed steady throughout the trip. Caught a good amount of Bonita and he was trying to get us onto some Spanish Macarel but they just weren't biting yet. It was still a bit cool and early in the season he said. Overall great trip and we will definitely book with him again when we are back in Destin! Thanks Capt. Tanner!

  Shark Fishing at it's Finest!

  Shark Fishing - Catch and Release on July 7, 2026 • 2 adults

  My daughter and I went on a shark fishing adventure with Anarchy Fishing Charters. Capt. Tanner took us to a spot where a bottle nose dolphin wouldn't stop begging for a snack, so he took us about four miles out to another spot by a shipwreck. There, we got around a 6' lemon shark (we think) on the line. My daughter and I battled it for close to an hour and finally got it to the boat. Capt. Tanner gabbed the lead to pull it up for soe pics, and it bit through the line. we still got some good pics, but an even better memory. Thanks Capt. Tanner!!

  Offshore Charter

  5 Hour Trip – Offshore Trip (AM) on July 17, 2026 • 4 adults

  Tanner was very informative, patient, and listened to what we wanted to catch. My son really wanted to try to catch amberjack so Tanner took us to a spot and allowed time for him hook and reel in 3 different amberjacks. Unfortunately the lines snapped each time-but instead of trying once and saying that was it, Tanner really tried hard to give me son that experience. Afterward he took us to a spot to catch red snapper and helped us catch 7. Would definitely book an offshore charter with Tanner again!

  Relaxing Water Excursion

  4 HR Nearshore - Catch & Release on May 13, 2026 • 2 adults

  Took a quick trip to Okaloosa for a few days of vacation. We opted for a 4 hour near shore trip with Captain Tanner. He was ready for us in the am and had us on the water in no time. We trolled for a while without much success- but honestly, that's pretty much the gamble with trolling. We came back in a little closer to the coast for some bottom fishing. We caught a crazy amount of trigger fish - took that bait as soon as we dropped the lines. Thru the trip, we caught trigger, a squirrel fish, snapper, a remora (no thank you), bonito, and we even hooked what we think may have been a reef shark, but after wrestling with it for about thirty minutes, it snapped the line. Had a fun time!!
