Offshore Trip

12 HR Offshore Tuna, Mahi, Marlin 4 adults

The Captain and First Mate worked together like a well oiled machine. Once they got us on the fish they worked together to make sure we got them to the boat. We ended up landing a Blue Marlin a White Marlin, Tuna and Mahi. Grand Slam day of fishing.

Response from Charter operator

Thanks for the awesome review Chris… Hope to fish with you guys again someday. Also can’t wait to get some of that blue marlin charging the boat footage from your GoPro! That was awesome!

    Great Half Day Inshore Fishing

    4 Hour PM Inshore Half Day • 3 adults

    We booked a half day afternoon trip. Captain alerted us the day before of potential storms during our trip and asked us if we wanted to shift to the morning. We spent 4hrs trolling and fishing bouys and caught a couple spanish mackerel and a 46” Cobia. Captain Scott worked hard moving us from spot to spot and circling over Cobia spotted from the boat tower. Deckhand Jeffrey was great assisisting us and keeping the mood fun despite the lack of fish activity. We read several fishing reports on line that the fishing over the previous week was slow so our low take was consistent with that and jo fault of the captain. The boat was very clean, gear was in execellent condition and having a cabin with a head was great. Would highly recomend charting with Knott Tell’n!!

    thank you for the kind review Kenneth. It has definitely been tough fishing on the oceanfront for the past 4 to 5 days and I was extremely happy we were able to get a big fish for your son. Glad y'all enjoyed the trip. Would be great to fish with you again sometime when conditions are a little better.

    Response from Charter operator

    thank you for the more than kind review Porfirio. Today was slow fishing & rough weather conditions. But glad we discussed this ahead of time and appreciate you guys still wanting to give it a try anyways. It's tough when you come in from out of town and Weather throws a curveball. I hope you may consider us again in the future and will have better luck with the weather! just glad we caught a few fish before it got too rough.

    Went above and beyond!

    Inshore 4 Hour Shark Fishing • 6 adults

    We bought this as a birthday gift to my son. He wanted a sports fish trip to mark off his bucket list. We booked a 7AM 4hr trip and it was still a squelching hot day. We got a handful of spanish mackerel that they cleaned and took care of for us. We didn't get anything and was just getting frustrated, we had 2 hrs with just nothing. He kept us out longer to make sure we got something good. My son got to bring in a big Red Drum. They said it was about a 70 year old fish that weighed over 60lbs. My son was super happy with the ending. We were definitely appreciative of the Captain and his mate. They took good care of us, its a nice boat and we were comfortable even in the searing heat. Great experience!

    Response from Charter operator

    Thank you Eric for the kind review… It was definitely a hot day today with zero breeze at all! We appreciate you guys fishing with us and I wanted more than anything to get a big fish for your son for his birthday. Thank God we were able to get one there near the end. Fishing is very unpredictable. I have been a captain for 16 years & mated on other boats for years before becoming a captain...I also was a charter boat customer for many years & have done hundreds of deep sea offshore 12 hour trips that cost 5x what a 4 hour inshore trip costs & can't tell you how many times we caught nothing all day long! But the few times where we had great days is what keeps you coming back to try again! I'm sorry it was slow for yall for a while today & glad it ended with a big fish but many of the other charter boats out there today never had a chance to get to that school of big fish before they were gone again. It could have easily been us that didn't get there in time. I'm thankful anytime we are lucky enough to be the one catching. There is definitely no guarantees in fishing. Thanks again.

    True Professionals

    8 HR – Middle Grounds Wreck Fishing • 3 adults

    With the recent weather and tough conditions that the tropical storm brought in, Captain Scott and first mate Jeffrey still found a way to deliver and provide the best trip possible for my crew and I. Scott was very communicative leading up to the trip and provided updates and insights on what to expect condition wise. Even with the tough conditions, Scott and Jeffrey still got us on some nice Cobia and mackerel and were able to salvage what they could on an overall great trip with the hand we were dealt. These guys are top notch professionals and we will definitely look to book with them again. Thanks again Scott and Jeffrey.

    I really appreciate the kind review Hunter. Thank you for choosing us to fish with. Wish we could have got you guys out a little further and targeted the mahi that I know you were hoping for but I'm glad we were able to find a couple of big fish for you. Would enjoy the chance to fish with you guys again.

    Outstanding charter

    6 Hour Inshore Fishing • 6 adults • 2 children

    I can't say enough about how great our outing was with the Captain and First Mate Jeffrey. The first 2 hours were fairly slow with only a couple fish landed (Mackerel and Bonita Tuna) but Jeffrey had told us that been pretty typical with an afternoon bite picking up recently. Like clockwork when it his 12 the rods started lighting up with fish after fish. Our group of 4 was having to get arm breaks when able as we often had 3 lines with bull reds on. We must have landed 25 or more bull reds over the next 3 hours. As the trip was for my nephews graduation I know it left a memory that will last a lifetime.
