Half Day with Captain Adam

Half Day Trip (AM)4 adults

Captain Adam and his mate were the best. They were super fun and excited for us to catch fish. We caught a bunch of fish then my son wanted to catch BIGGER fish so Captain Adam was more then willing to make sure that happened. We would definitely recommend them to anyone who would be heading to the St Pete Beach area and want to do some deep sea fishing!

    Awesome experience with Captain Adam

    Half Day Trip (AM)3 adults1 child

    Absolutely — here’s a polished, enthusiastic review that keeps the personal and funny tone: Awesome Fishing Trip with Captain Adam! 🎣 We were visiting from out of town and couldn’t have asked for a better fishing experience with Captain Adam! His communication was excellent from the start. He contacted me the day before the trip to make sure we could customize the trip around exactly what we wanted to do. We told him we wanted to catch some BIG fish, and believe me — he delivered! We ended up catching 30+ fish, ranging from bait fish all the way up to some seriously large Goliath grouper. It was an absolute blast! The boat was awesome, clean, and well-equipped — although after a full day of fishing, let’s just say it was a little less clean… 😂 But that’s how you know you had a great day on the water! Captain Adam was personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to spend the day with. He put us on the fish, listened to what we wanted, and made the entire experience exactly what we were hoping for. If you’re looking for a great fishing trip in the Gulf, I highly recommend Captain Adam. We came down from out of town and left with an incredible experience and some great memories. We’ll definitely be back! 🎣🔥

    Excellent trip w/ Captain Adam

    3/4 Day Trip - Extended deeper (AM)3 adults

    We had an excellent trip. The weather was a little dodgy in the morning but layed down nicely. Adam had us on bait 1st thing and then we limited out on red grouper and had a keeper Gag as well. We got into some keeper mangrove and Vermillion snappers along the way. We lost a few lunkers - but thats always the case. The only thing we didnt land were the Barracudas. He had us on fish at every stop. The 3 of us are looking forward to fishing with him again.

    Great Captain and boat

    3/4 Day Trip (PM)2 adults

    first date had to be postponed due to poor weather howver Adam kept in touch at all times and gotvus in a few days later. Timed to perfection Adam had us fishing for bait fish within a very short time. Then off to try for some barracuda’s. Caught one within a short time and then we decided to move off to catch some snappers for supper. caught a nice load before Adam filleted enough for supper and then he recommended a local restaurant who would cook them for us. overall a brilliant time. i can thoroughly recommend this charter. Already trying to sort out next soring to return

    No Better Captain

    3/4 Day Trip - Extended deeper (AM)3 adults

    The entire trip was amazing. amazing equipment amazing fish amazing spots. but nothing will beat the captain himself. loaded with knowledge with over 3,000 charters- he ensured no matter what that we had a great experience and that he delievered on exactly what we had PREVIOUSLY spoken about! he communicates before we even went on the trip so that he can know and prepare for what we wanted to do out in the ocean- and he was very straighforwarded and kind on what we should expect and not expect. not enough stars to rate the captain himself 10/10 HIGHLY recommend.

    Great captain and great trip!

    3/4 Day Trip - Extended deeper (AM)3 adults

    Captain was knowledgeable and kept us moving if fish were not biting. We were looking specifically for a goliath, but we wanted to make sure we caught our limit first, so we did not go to the location until afternoon, which was too late. We also caught 3 sharks, one close to 10ft, as well as our limit on red grouper and several snapper. On the trip back, we also saw a 23ft whale shark just cruising and got nice pics and video. We were both worn out by the end of the day. Had a great catch and will book with Captain Adam on our next trip to get the Goliath!!
