Memories to keep for a life time.

Half Day Trip (PM)5 adults

Best fishing charter to date. Capt was knowledgeable and the deck hand was amazing. Capt put us on fish the entire trip. The 5 of us caught well over 50 Black Bass, Trout and Drum combined. On the way back the Capt heard that a Humpback Whale was just off the beach. We detoured to the area and we where able to watch it break the surface a few times. This Capt truly cared about our experience.

Response from Captain

Thanks, great time with your family and hope to see you guys again.

    Slow Day

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 6 adults • 2 children

    Captain Ron and first mate TJ were great. It was a very slow day, only hauled in three fish and one shark but they kept trying and circling to try to find them while communicating with other boats who were experiencing similar problems. Very knowledgeable of the history of the area and coastal geography and even though we had four restless kids with not a lot of fish, it was still a great experience. Super friendly and accommodating.

    Went for fishing trip, ended as a catching trip

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 5 adults • 2 children

    This fishing trip could not have been better. We hauled in 40 Spanish mackerel and three small sharks. the captain and TJ were incredible and lots of fun to be around. We had a four-hour time slot and there were times where we were only sitting down for only a minute or two because we would have another pole active. I would not have changed a thing. Will be using them again next year when we come back.

    Great trip!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 6 adults

    What a fun and successful fishing trip! Excitment right off the bat! Biggest mackerel we’ve ever caught or seen for that matter! Ryan and TJ kept us laughing and both worked really hard to get us on the fish. We walked away with a nice, plump bag of fish filets and happy teenagers so definitely a win, in my book. Highly recommend and we’ll be back soon!

    Great trip with a great crew!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 6 adults

    We caught a bunch of Spanish mackerel, a hammerhead shark, and a needlefish! The captain and mate were so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We had a great time! They were both so nice and personable—they joked and laughed with us, but also made sure we were safe throughout the entire trip.

    Beautiful day to catch some fish!

    Half Day Trip (AM) • 4 adults

    Captain Ryan and First Mate TJ made this such a memorable trip for our family! We had an amazing time fishing and talking about the area. When we come back to the island, we'll be sure to schedule another day of fishing with Fugitive Fishing Charters!
