We are still seeing good numbers of Red Grouper! Also super stoked with opening of triggerfish! As always we have plenty of vermillion snapper around to add to the haul! Mild temps and good fishing make for great days!

It's been a pretty slow two weeks. We've had a lot of crappy conditions, so it's been tough getting out, but as far as the fish bite, it's been really good.

    Trip: Bay Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    My kids and I had a great time and experience. Captain Kent and Bobbi were so kind. They made every effort to give us a great experience. We caught several amberjack and false albacore. Captain Kent was a true professional who really loves what he does. He touched base a couple times leading up to our trip answering any of our questions. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get out on the water for a good fishing experience.

    Trip: Fishing Trips With Captain Kent

  • ★★★★★
    Had a great experience shooting coastal ducks for the first time! I booked the hunt for my sons birthday and he said it was best birthday ever ! Weather was nasty to start even snowed some but our guide Alex didn’t let spoil the trip. He worked his butt off to make sure we got some birds and we’ll definitely be going back.

    Trip: Destin Offshore Hook-Up

  • ★★★★★
    Great trip! Tony and his crew waste no time in finding the fish and getting you on the right spot to be successful. The first mates (Chris and Reed) were great, make it simple for beginners and get your fish cleaned up and ready to eat. Highly recommend the experience.

    well worth the time, effort, money to do this trip exclusively with your family. 10/10 trip. I caught 20 fish and there were 7 other people. We kept some snapper, everything else were all thrown back in the ocean.
