Reel Fun Real Fishing Experience!!

3/4 Day Trip2 adults

Had an amazing day on the water with Capt Phil. Got the full service fishing experience. Prompt and on time, welcoming and easy to work with. Been fishing this area for decades and it shows. We caught Snook, Redfish, Grouper, Tripletail, Snapper, and even got to catch some of our own bait. We were on fish each spot and he was informative and funny. Good stories, good action. A Reel Fun Real Fishing Experience!! We will book woth him again. All love the St Louis Boys - Rob and Alex.

    excellent charter

    Half day • 4 adults

    actually the trip was on the 21st. the captain called 2 days before because of the small craft advisories and he had to cancel some charters (I’m not a fan of 5’ waves either). But the winds were scheduled to lay down on Saturday so we move from 8:00 Friday to 10:00 Sat which worked out well. Boat is a nice size, twin 300’s and plenty room for 4. Weather had been poor so Gulf was cold so traditional catches weren’t there. But we caught keeper Sheepshead and the crown jewel 34lb cobia. Also going out of Cocohatchee was extremely convenient and hassle-free. Great charter, highly recommended.

    Thanks Ken! most if all thank that cobia for being at the right place at the right time
