4 hour 3 light rods tour.

4 Hour Trip (AM)3 adults

Boat wasn’t equipped with enough rods for the type of fishing we did later in the day. We had to borrow a rod and reel from another charter boat to fish for bigger fish, I have more rods and fishing equipment than was on that boat. This caused only one of three of us to fish at a time. I couldn’t tell if it was the boat captains or the charters fault on the not supplying the boat. We still caught some fish on the trip.

3 people can’t hook up on bull reds at the same time and get them all In which in your case that’s what happened. There was 6 rods on board I’m sorry you didn’t catch a big one and the other 2 in your group did thanks for the bad review hope you have better luck on your next trip

    A Great Trip for the little ones!

    3 hour trip • 5 adults • 2 children

    We had a great time and Randall was great! Look its fishing, he does it 7 days a week and i repect that he does his best l to put his clients on a cooler full. That he did. It took a minute to get evrything rolling but once the fish decided to hit it was on, thats fishing. He was  courteous and everything in the decription was spot on. I’ll be back l, and highly rocommend him as a captin to take you out to catch some of the gulfs groceries!

    great fishing experience highly recommend

    4 Hour Trip (PM) • 3 adults

    We had such a great time out on the water. He’s just an all-around great guy—super funny, easy to talk to, and had a ton of cool stories that kept us laughing the whole trip. You can tell he really knows fishing too—very experienced and had us catching fish right away. The best part was how easy he made everything. He took care of it all—licenses, poles, lines, bait—so we didn’t have to worry about a thing and could just enjoy being out there. If you’re looking for a fun, stress-free fishing trip with someone who knows what they’re doing, definitely book with him. We’d go again in a heartbeat!

    Flexible

    4 Hour Trip (AM) • 6 adults • 2 children

    Took my wife and 4 sons on the 4hr trip. The current and weather was keeping the spanish mackerel from biting. We caught only one. The captain circled us back to the tip to catch a bunch of spade fish instead. The kids were grateful to hit some fish with a little fight, even though you dont keep them. Each of us caught around 7 spade fish with one kid landing a lucky pompano. The captain was very upfront about the conditions, comunicating with me in the days prior to the trip. By no imagination was it a perfect trip but the captain did his best to save the experience and not waste my money. That was greatly appreciated. We all had a good time.

    Awesome first time offshore fishing

    2 Hour Trip – Quick (9AM) • 2 adults • 1 child

    This was my 8 year olds first time fishing off shore, and he had a blast! Captain Randall knew the spots, and when the fish weren’t biting at the first spot we quickly moved to where they were. It’s a good day of fishing when you land 10, and lost just as many. Would book again!
