Team Vinson Charters 2 

Our family had an amazing time on this fishing charter! From the moment we stepped on the boat, the captain and crew made us feel welcome and ensured everyone—from the adults to the kids—had a great experience. They were knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to help with baiting hooks and casting! We caught plenty of fish, enjoyed beautiful scenery, and created memories we’ll be talking about for years. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making the entire trip relaxing and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a fun family-friendly fishing adventure, we highly recommend this charter. We can’t wait to come back for another trip!

I can’t say enough good things about Captain Donnie and his daughter Candace. I don’t think we would’ve been able to do this trip with any other Captain. The morning started out with torrential rain and I was sure we were going to be canceled. That was before I realized the tenacity of Captain Donnie. We had to push our start time due to some significant storms. He told us we were going to get wet so we were prepared. We caught a ton of fish, unfortunately. Most of them were just below the legal limit. We went to several different spots over the morning and if the fish weren’t biting, Captain Donnie was gonna move us to get on the fish again. It was a rough day with the rain and the waves in the current, and somehow we still ended up with enough red Stryper to have a few good meals. I had my teenage granddaughters on the trip and both Captain Donnie and Candace were really good with them. Very patient would help them out kept us fishing the entire time. If you are looking for a Captain, that’s going to put you on the fish and not give up regardless of the element then you want to use Captain Donnie. I would book this trip in an instant again. Thank you, Captain Donnie for a great day of fishing and for your persistence in getting fish on the boat.

Captain Donnie took our family offshore to an amazing spot for red snapper. We hooked up immediately and you could see the schools of fish 18 feet down in crystal clear water. We caught 8-10 snapper before my 7 year old started getting sea sick. This was one of those days when all the stars align and the Captain has you in the exact right spot at the exact right time. Catain Donnie, understandingly pulled up and went back inshore to help with sea sickness and got us back on great speckeled trout. He was incredible with my family. You wont find a better guide for family trips!!

As is often the case, bad weather affected our trip. Captain Donnie called the day before our trip and worked out the details. We were able to adjust the trip schedule. Once we were on the water Captain Donnie and his daughter, Candace worked hard to ensure we avoided the stoms as much as possible, caught fish, and had a good time. Even though we were the last trip of the day and those two were exhausted, they had everything ready and never made us feel rushed. We will definitely book with them again next year!

me and my two kids had a blast on our three hour trip, we caught speckled trout for thr who time we were gone! Captain and his daughter were amazing at keeping us in bait and getting fish on the boat some times three at a time! Would recommend to anyone, we will be coming back next year.
