Captain Si Nelson is in his 22nd year as a professional guide and loves it more and more every day. He is a dual threat, able to run bay charters as well as nearshore Gulf charters. He was born and raised right here on the Emerald Coast so he has a lifetime of experience of fishing the Emerald Coast waters. Over the years he has worked from Matagorda, Texas to Block Island Sound, New York, and everywhere in between giving him an extensive seaborne experience making him uniquely qualified to deliver the perfect experience for just about any crowd. Captain Si is just as at home stalking the flats in the backcountry as he is sounding the depths for offshore monsters, and knows how to keep things light and fun! A perpetual student of the University of West Florida's history program, Captain Si not only puts you on the fish but keeps things interesting with constant information about the local history.

    Vajat je bio pun entuzijazma

    3 Hour Trip – Kids' Trip • 5 adults • 2 children

    Pre svega, kada povedete decu na brod koja nikada nisu ozbiljno pecala, očekujete neke prigovore i gunđanje. Wyatt je bio toliko zabavan i prijatan da su moja deca bila potpuno očarana. Kad god bi nešto pošlo po krivu, prilagođavao se sa pozitivnim stavom i davao nam osećaj da smo deo posade. To je ono što pravi razliku između dobrog i sjajnog izlaska. Mnogi ljudi znaju da vežu varalice i upravljaju brodom. Ali nije svako u stanju da deci pruži odlično iskustvo. Ovo je, bez ikakve sumnje, bio vrhunac čitavog našeg odmora. Hvala ti, Wyatt.

    Sjajni kapetani X2

    4 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing (PM) • 6 adults

    Rezervisali smo izlet za pecanje ajkula. Pre svega, imao sam nekoliko pitanja u poslednjem trenutku u vezi sa našim izletom. Kapetan Si je uzvatio poziv veoma brzo i bio je stručan i veoma prijatan. Naši kapetani za ribolovni izlet bili su Wyatt i Mike. Obojica su bili veoma ljubazni, profesionalni i odlične naravi. Odveli su nas na nekoliko različitih mesta. Uspeli smo da ulovimo mnoštvo riba. Iako nismo ulovili ajkulu, bio je to ipak divan izlet. Najbolji deo izleta bili su šale, zadirkivanje i razgovor između svih nas. Kada smo se vratili do pristaništa, Mike je filetirao i upakovao ribe koje smo ulovili. Sigurno bih ponovo išao na izlet za pecanje ajkula sa ovom kompanijom. Preporučujem ovu čarter kompaniju svima koji žele da uživaju u zabavnom i bezbrižnom ribolovnom izletu.

    Odlično Ribolovno Iskustvo

    4 Hour Trip – Captain's Choice • 3 adults

    Ovo je bilo fantastično iskustvo. Ulovili smo maksimalan dozvoljeni broj Mangrove Snapper-a i uhvatili nekoliko ogromnih Redfish-eva. Kapetan Mike je bio odličan i definitivno dobro poznaje ribolov u ovom području. Pobrinuo se da imamo što bolje iskustvo. Svakako preporučujem ovu kompaniju svima koji traže odličan ribolovni izlet.

    izlet u poslednjem trenutku i Mike je sve odradio odlično

    4 HRS OFF SEASON SPECIAL • 4 adults • 1 child

    ulovili smo naš limit mango ribe u prvih nekoliko sati, a zatim smo jurili različite vrste. Majk je pitao šta želimo i isporučio je. Sa dvogodišnjim detetom na brodu, mogli smo da usmerimo svu pažnju na nju, a Majk se pobrinuo za ostalo. Ako imate malu decu, tražite Majka i on će učiniti izlet pogodnim za sve uzraste. Definitivno ćemo se vratiti i preporučili bismo svima koji traže najbolju vrednost za novac. Bezbednost i kvalitet izleta bili su savršeni, hvala Majk

    Neverovatno izlaženje na pecanje sa sjajnim kapetanima!

    4 Hour Trip – Captain's Choice - 1:00 PM • 3 adults • 1 child

    Bilo je to divno putovanje. Kapetani Vajat i Majk su ga pretvorili u super zabavno iskustvo za decu. Ulovili smo dosta ribe i videli delfine. Mangrove snapper, najveći Ladyfish kojeg je kapetan ikada video, Redfish, pa čak i plavi rak. Čak su nas odveli na Crab Island dva puta tokom izleta da se rashladimo od vrućine. Sveukupno neverovatno iskustvo i sigurno ćemo ih ponovo koristiti sledeće godine!

    Nismo iskusni ribari, ali naš dečak je opsednut ribama i svim morskim stvorenjima uopšte. Nismo ulovili mnogo, ali on jeste! I imali smo puno zabave. Kapetan je bio odličan i uspeo je da pripremi sjajno putovanje i da bude strpljiv sa mojim posebnim sinom koji se najviše zabavio od svih na svoj rođendan! Hvala na divnom iskustvu!

    Kapetan Wyatt je bio fantastičan! Veoma stručan, odličan smisao za humor i zabavan! Doveo nas je do ribe… ulovili smo Lane Snapper i Mingo Snapper. Borili smo se i promašili neke zaista lepe ribe.

Hot bite out in the cold!

dec 6, 2025 • Destin
It was very cold and rainy today, but the bite was on fire! Absolutely had a blast catching our limit of various types of snapper and various groupers to throwback. Best bite we’ve had out there in a few weeks!

What's biting in May?

maj 1, 2023 • Destin
It’s that time of year where everything is just about to pop off, but hasn’t just quite yet. In the bay there are a few trout and reds to be caught, sporadically, but no where is hot cast after cast… yet. Bait is hard to come by, but it can be found - for the most part, I’m still using shrimp. The Spanish Mackerel bite is slowing down a little faster than I expected. The fish I am catching are actually very large. Last week I caught several Spanish in the 4-6lb class. A blast on light tackle! Redfish, especially bulls, are readily eating pinfish around the pass. It seems like the further into the bay you go the slower the bite has become. You can grind it out and catch a few fish on the flats and around the bayous, but nobody is finding fast action right now. The nearshore bite is still alive and well with vermillion and mangrove snappers to be found just about anywhere you look. Porgies and the occasional Flounder pop up now and then, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the occasional Scamp. Just move around until you find the fish. I had the pleasure of doing some offshore fishing this past week and we got into wahoos and tuna. The deep water bottom fishing was lackluster, but we still made a good day of it with some nice big Scamps and Vermilions. Cigar Minnows, Herring, and Hardtails are plentiful right outside the pass right now, and King Mackerels are sporadically working the bait schools and can make for some quick action. Red Snappers and Amberjack, while not in season are always a good time and are usually easy to find this time of year. Get Out There Any Make Something Happen! Captain Si
