We caught some great fish red grouper, gag grouper, amber jack, red snapper, trigger and Mingo. Not all were in season so took pictures and released safely. Also could you add us to okaloosa island, fort Walton beach and destin area for search locations.

    Trip: Fishing Trips with Captain Kent

    Brandon was the perfect guide with our crew of kids (ages 9-13). Brandon and Chris were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and patient. They kept everyone engaged and entertained for our 2 hour trip, which can be tricky with kids. Big plus that he is Purdue guy too!

    Fernando and Ivan were fantastic. They set everything up and educated all of the kids on the sharks and the bait we were using. We caught a 7 foot Bull Shark and an 8 foot lemon shark. Memories for a lifetime.

    I guess the best thing I can say is when we come back, if we’re fishing on the Gulf, we’re going with Kyle. His First Mate Ben did a great job helping us out as well. Thanks Kyle

    Captain JT was awesome! Boat is super clean. Our day was very windy, so JT improvised and kept us close to the shore. Still caught a bunch of fish, even a couple big Red Fish. Kids had a blast. Would definitely recommend.
