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 6 of us that did a 4 hr charter w/Captain Marvin on July 7th, only one of us knew how to fish and we all end up catching up plenty of fish. Captain Marvin was very patient with us, baited and casted all our rods. He was a great guide and we would use him again in the future

Trip: 30A Inshore Slam
★★★★★
My family and I had an amazing time. We arrived and left on schedule and they gave us extra fishing time! Our party included a young teenager and Jackson made sure he caught fish and looked after him on the trip. He made the experience a lot more enjoyable with his knowledge and his humor. We had experienced fishermen and novices and both enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend.

Robbie and Austin were fantastic! We had two eleven year old boys and a mom on crutches, but the guys accomodated and made the trip great! We caught two sharks and an eel. The boys loved and we will be doing it again next summer!
