Gag grouper and red snapper seasons were amazing! We look forward to focusing on amberjack, red grouper, triggerfish, almaco jacks, and vermillion. Also hope to see the blackfin tuna showing up in the next couple weeks!

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: Red Snapper And Grouper Fishing!!!
★★★★★
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!
