I remember fishing for the first time at 5 years old at summer church camp. Even at that early age I'm not sure who got hooked worse, me or the fish! Ever since then, fishing waters, especially the ocean, have been my sanctuary. Now I get to take you to one of the most beautiful places on the planet and share my passion with you.

Severna Karolina, Сједињене Државе•Član od 20255.0VerifiedPUT US ON THE FISH!!
Extended Full Day Trip (10 Hour) • 2 adultsCaptain was waiting at the boat ramp with engines idling when we arrived at 6:30 for our 10 hour trip. He put us right on the fish and we were absolutely worn out from all the fish we were catching and it was before 11AM. We caught multiple species of fish and only kept enough for dinner the next evening. We will be booking with Captain again and I highly recommend his services to ANY angler regardless of being seasoned or a newbie. Great boat, great gear, great Captain and great memories. One of the best trips I've been on, thanks Captain!!

Family Fun Inshore Fishing • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe had a great time! Capt. Mac was excellent and got us right on the fish from the get go! We chartered the inshore fishing and it was perfect for the kids. Lots of action and even caught a nice size bonnet shark. Would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to have a great family experience!

Half Day Trip AM (4 Hour) • 2 adultsCaptain Mac had great communication, we had to delay one day because of high seas. He texted us and called to confirm that the waves were too big on the day we scheduled and he was able to read a weather bouy to find the perfect time for the trip. The change worked out great! We went out to sea and started catching fish within minutes of bait the hooks. We probably wrangled in over 50 fish in just a few hours! Super fun. Captain was great helping us out with bait and unhooking too. We definitely enjoyed our first ocean fishing trip. Hopefully many more in the future.

Half Day Trip AM (4 Hour) • 4 adultsour first chartered fishing trip. Captain Mac was great! we caught so many fish we lost count, a mix of snapper, sheepshead, lookdown (Moon) fish and I can’t recall them all, the captain moved us around until we started catching fish, at times three of us at the same time had fish on. We will definitely use Mac Daddy Charters again next year!
Reported catch:Response from CaptainThanks Gary! I appreciate the great review and enjoyed watching you all jave a great time.

3/4 Day Trip (6 Hour) • 4 adultsWe had a great time. I would recommend taking ani-nausea medication, like the captain will stress to any of his customers. We caught countless fish. The captain was very knowledgeable on the fish, on fishing, the area, and has updated equipment. He was very patient with my family especially, my children. Would highly recommended to everyone.
Response from CaptainThanks for the great review Arnold. I’m glad we could get you all out fishing.

Holy Mangrove Snapper! Boy were they chewing today. The original plan called for final dialing in/check up reconnaissance for Red Snapper with my friend John, we found them. Then these guys showed up, biggest one was 25.5". They were eating Sardine chunks and shrimp. Also caught the bonus Trigger and Almaco which will be blackened for dinner tonight. We left them chewing because it was crazy hot, zero wind, could've hit the limit if we had some more powerade. Ride out and in was absolutely dreamy, biggest waves we encountered were other boats wakes back in the river. This is what is possible on the 6+ hour trips folks!

Whole Lotta Meat

Loaded the cooler today on this full day 8 hour trip with my friends from North GA. Started the day with the calmest seas I've seen all year, it was Lake Atlantic. Hit the trolling grounds which produced a Kingfish and a shark. After trolling action dried up, we hit some bottom fishing only accessible on these full day trips because of their distance from port. Bottom action was HOT. We caught three Cobia (two were short), Barracuda, big Mangrove Snapper, Graysby Grouper, Alamco Jacks, and Vermilion Snapper. What a loaded day!

My friends from Middleburg had a trip today they'll never forget. They had never been saltwater, much less offshore fishing before and boy did they get one heck of an introduction today. Action was steady and it was the ladies who were the only ones putting fish on ice for dinner. In addition to a million grunts, we caught Red Snapper (released), Vermilion Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Trigger Fish, Squirrel Fish, a small Red Grouper, Graysby Grouper, Blue Runners, a very big Blue Stripe Grunt, and a huge Sandbar Shark. Then the day was over, it was time to head home. I began cleaning and prepping the boat tossing out old bait when a monster Cobia made an appearance. We scrambled and threw everything we had at him trying to get him to bite. He taunted us for 30 minutes coming up and only sniffing our bait while we watched with the greatest anticipation. He wanted nothing to do with our shrimp and sardines, so I sent a smaller rod back down to the bottom and caught a live Blue Runner to throw on the big Cobia rod. It didn't take long before he hammered that Blue Runner and it was on! My man grabbed the Penn Senator and gave this Cobia some serious what for. In no time, he brought the fish boat side where the gaff found its target and now was officially on the menu for dinner. Ride quality on the way out and in was a solid A. Great job guys!

Mixed Bag, Lots of Action
jun 9, 2023 • Port Orange
Had a great day with this family, most of them from Utah. Action was good a constant all morning on this 6 hour 3/4 day trip. We caught a wide variety today: Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Remoras, Graysby Groupers, Cobia, Blue Runners, and Squirrel Fish. My man in the black shirt had really done his research, knew all about venting fish for a safe release despite never having been offshore fishing before! He was crushing it today! Ride out started as a A, peninsular Florida blocked the West wind for the first few miles out. Ride quality eventually eroded to a B, then to a C the further out we went, very choppy and rough. The ride back in was the opposite, rough at first and gradually improving the closer we got to land.

Half Day PM Trip
jun 8, 2023 • Port Orange
I really enjoyed this family, what amazing people and we had such a great time on our half day afternoon trip. Bite was a little slow, I thought the afternoon action would've kicked in more than it did. Brought home a couple of Lane Snappers for dinner and caught a million grunts. Seas were pretty good, I'd give the ride quality a B on the way out and in. Caught a brief sun shower (no lightning) that was refreshing on the ride back.

First time fishing in 12 days, weather was absolutely prohibitive offshore leading up to and through Memorial Day weekend. Had a wonderful family and their service dog Max from GA down for a 3/4 day trip. Being a 3/4 day I was able to get them out to some of my more primo spots but the fish were being a little tight lipped and stingy. 3 keeper snapper (a Lane and 2 Red Eyes) came over the gunwale immediately then things slowed considerably producing a million grunts and undersize snapper. We moved all over to 7 more spots trying to find some willing fish. We ended the day with the three snappers, a Porgy and a Bluestriped Grunt and a very nice Red Snapper release. Windfinder called waves at 2.3ft @ 7 seconds with winds out of the North less than 10kts. Riding out at 20-22mph was a C+ and on the way back in at 32-34mph was an A-.
