The youngest guy in the picture of three was 81 years old. I hope I'm as blessed as they are to still be able to do what I love to do at their age.

Red snapper are still open on the weekends for the months of October and November on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During the week we were able to keep Vermilion snapper, Spanish mackerel, King mackerel, and the bite has been very consistent. Book your trip while you can, life's too short not to go fishing!

Fishing had been hot up to that hurricane we to west of us. We had a ton of rain and rough seas which really dirtied up the Gulf and bite was pretty tough. Last two days seem to be trending in our favor. Been booking and running trips everyday and into November. Snappers open Fri Sat Sun thru Thanksgiving. I've got the big Sows located and they are hungry!!

    I booked this trip mainly for my 12 and 15 year old grandsons to experience. Max was an excellent guide and really made sure the boys had a great time and caught lots of fish. I would definitely book with Max for future trips.

    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: Intense Inshore Action!

  • ★★★★★
    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.

    Trip: Fall Inshore Fishing Trip

  • ★★★★★
    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.

    Captain Richie did not disappoint. Party of 10 with 8 of us beginners, each came away with multiple catches! During our last stop, we encountered a school of Mahi Mahi. Captain Richie and crew tried to capture as many possible!! Will definitely book again!
