The bite has been good when the weather allows us to get where they are. Night bite is still the best and temps are so much better than the day.

    Trip: Destin Offshore Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    We definitely had a good trip with Captain harold. He put us on fish all day long on our 10hr trip. We caught a lot of fish between the 6 of us at every location captain harold stopped us at. We recommend this guide to anyone who wants to have fun catching fish.

    Trip: 12 Hour Tuna/Big Game Trip

  • ★★★★★
    Was a great experience for my inexperienced family. First we caught bait fish jigging a little offshore. Using a 5 hook rig almost every time we hooked multiple fish. Catching 4 to 5 was not uncommon. Then we went about 8 miles offshore to fish in about 90’ of water. Everyone caught fish. Just a note that catching a 24” amberjack in 90’ of water will wear a person out. Though we caught lots of fish only had 3 of keeper size. My entire group said they would do it again.

    We had a great time with Jonathan. He was patient with us three amateurs and put us on some nice redfish. My grandson who is 7 had a blast catching his first redfish. Thanks again.

    James was a great Captain and we really enjoyed our time with him! We were hoping to be able to have more fish to take home with us but I know that some days are better than others when fishing. It was an overall really good experience!

    Trip: Pensacola Inshore

  • ★★★★★
    Honestly, we were very disappointed in our trip. The beginning was fine. As time went on, David ‘s language was a bit rough with choice words that we didn’t need to hear. His driving of the boat in rough water was way too fast and both of our backs are still hurting a week later . And we may be a bit older- but both in good shape. At the end of the trip- just had us casting in grass. Never been on a trip where at least cold bottles of water weren’t offered or available . Would never recommend. Expensive trip for a few fish and not as we have experienced before on other fishing outings. We did give a nice tip 20% because that’s who we are . Wish him the best in the future.

    Good communication and flexible in scheduling. Provided good instruction to a beginner which resulted in success. Captain Tim showed great knowledge of the species and habitat. We would recommend this Captain!
