Captain Blake and his First Mate, Jake definitely checked all the boxes for an exciting and fun filled day out on the water! Blake ensured we had the best time and worked hard to keep us on the fish despite choppy seas. We started on time, Blake and Jake were very helpful and patient with my guests who most of which have never been off-shore fishing before, and there was excellent communication the entire day. We booked an 8 hour trip and after we spent some time caching live bait, we started trolling for wahoo and Mahi. After awhile when we weren't seeing any success trolling, we switched to bottom fishing and ended with a respectable haul. We caught a wide variety of fish, including red and vermillion snapper, red grouper, almaco jack, and porgy. I even was able to catch my personal best fish, a nice gag grouper. As our trip neared the end, we trolled most of the way back in.
This was a very fun and memorable experience despite the thunderstorms and the rough water . It was definitely worth the money and I would put Finatical Charters at the top of my list of things to do on my next trip to the Destin area.
