Our half day trip with Captain Monty was one for the books. We left the dock early in the morning and caught a beautiful sunrise on the water. Within the first hour we had hooked up on a handful of fish. We ended the day with a dozen fish and lots of good memories. Captain Monty and his mate were very professional
and great people to get to know throughout the day. They took great care of us throughout the trip. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to book a charter in the area!

From start to finish, our trip with Captain Monty and First Mate Tanner was nothing short of epic. We had a party of four — for two, it was their very first time on a boat in the ocean, while the other two had been on several fishing charters before.  By the end, all four agreed the Captain Monty provides more than a fishing trip, he provides an EXPERIENCE!!

We reeled in several lively Spanish Mackerel, but the real thrill came when we hooked into some massive Barracuda—one of which put up the fight of a lifetime. The final Barracuda battle was so intense, it drew the attention of a Tiger Shark circling nearby! That’s when First Mate Tanner, with perfect timing, declared we needed AC/DC energy.

From the boats best-in-class sound system, “Thunderstruck” blasted across the water, electrifying the moment and giving us the FIRE to land that beast. It felt like a scene out of an action movie—adrenaline, music, and ocean spray all around.

This was far more than just a fishing trip—it was an EXPERIENCE we’ll be talking about for years. Whether you’re new to the ocean or a seasoned angler, Captain Big Fish delivers an unforgettable adventure.  We are already planning our next adventure.

We had a great morning on the water with Camp Monty and Mate Jackson!  The boat was immaculate when we arrived and stayed that way throughout thanks to Jackson’s constant attention to detail.  Both Capt Monty and Jackson were patient explaining everything to the 13 and 14 year old boys that were with us on the trip.  We didn’t catch a lot of fish, but got enough to keep us all engaged.  During the lulls, great conversation, music, and hospitality made the overall experience wonderful.  We will definitely come back for another shot at at some mackerel and that big barracuda we were stalking!

Thanks for a great day!

My husband, 4 preteens and myself went out with Captain Big Fish. I cannot say enough amazing things about Captain Monty and his mate, Jaxson. The boat was spotless, Jaxon even cleaned up messes immediately after catching fish. 
Both of them have incredible personalities.  Captain Monty is full of laughs, helpful, and has a great playlist. Jaxon is so knowledgeable,  super helpful, fun and was absolutely brilliant with my kiddos.  Captain did everything he could to keep us on fish the entire time we were out with him. 
There’s not a thing we would change about our trip out with him.  Can’t wait to go out with him again next year.

We didn’t have great weather but we still had a great experience. We caught a couple fish. Captain Monty tried his hardest to get us on the fish but they weren’t biting for us or anyone around us. First mate Alex busted his butt to change out lures and tactics. Great personalities.
