Hello folks. The redfish bite has been fantastic. We are making short runs into the St. Andrew Bay back country and literally on fish within minutes.

The Bulls reds are tearing it up, literally! Broken lines, straitened hooks and a broken pole but still managed to get these three in the boat.

    We had the best time fishing on Captain Chris’s boat. He made our experience special and put us on top of the fish. The boat and equipment was first class and Captain Chris was such a pleasure to be with.

    Trip: 4-Hour Inshore

  • ★★★★★
    I want to be honest in this review. we had booked a trip with Mike, and was informed a day before the trip that it would not be with Mike, but it would be with another captain. the trip was fine. it wasnt great. it wasnt bad. we had nearly a half hour boat ride to get to the spot he wanted to fish and a half hour boat ride to get back. so right there we lost 25% of our time to fish, only leaving 3 hours. we did not fish any other spots. stayed in one place. we caught about a half a dozen fish that we could keep and clean. there were 6 of us total. 3 dads and 3 boys. the price before any type of tip was $875. Naturally we left a tip bringing the total to $1000. it was a fine trip, but unfortunately, i have to say it was not worth $1000 to fish for three hours off of the Jetty's at shell island. We had a decent time, but it was a little under-whelming.

    We actually went out with Chandler. He was awesome! He made sure we found the fish. We never sat at a spot too long without a bite. He was very patient with our children as well. We will definitely be back!
