Snapper season is well underway and anglers have been bringing in some really Big Red snapper. There has been lots of red grooper and vermilion snapper, along with a few lane and mangrove. Snappers mixed in. The tarpon and red fish are cruising. The beaches and anglers have been catching quite a few of them. Also, the weather has finally straightened out. Looking good for the weekend coming up.

    Captain Tyler and his first mate Allen, worked their butts off to give us a well rounded four hour experience. Caught a good variety of fish and topped it off with a shark catch towards the end. It will be unforgettable.

    First time out for our group of five. The crew was great. They found several spots with tons of fish. They even weathered our seasickness epidemic like champs. Highly recommended.

    Trip: Big Group Bay Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Tim and Jake were absolutely fantastic! From the moment we got on the boat, they made sure the trip was tailored to exactly what our family wanted to do, and they delivered on every aspect of the experience. Their knowledge, professionalism, and friendly personalities made for an unforgettable day on the water. What really stood out was how focused they were on making sure everyone had a great time. They created a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere that made both the kids and adults feel comfortable and engaged throughout the trip. If you’re looking for a charter that combines great fishing, exceptional service, and a fun family experience, I highly recommend Tim and Jake. We can’t wait to book another trip with them!

    Trip: Kid's Fishing Adventure

  • ★★★★★
    You guys we had THE BEST fishing excursion with Capt Alex Hare! Not only did he put us on all the red snapper, vermillion and mangrove snapper, but we caught grouper and trigger fish as well. Capt Alex educated us on why we couldn’t keep any of the grouper or trigger fish (either under the required size limit or out of season) and he was so incredibly good at teaching our children, 10 and 12, how to properly fish (adults too!!) Alex is patient and very knowledgable and just an all around good guy. We brought back 18 fish that he expertly filletted for us too, including the 29” red snapper my son caught! You cannot go wrong booking your charter fishing excursion with him! And hey Alex, Go Gunners!!
