What an unforgettable day on the water with Captain Cliff and Austin! From the moment we set out, it was clear that Captain Cliff knows these waters like the back of his hand. He took us straight to the best spots, where we caught an impressive mix of red snapper, vermillion snapper, trigger fish, amberjack, and even grouper. Austin was fantastic—he was right there to help us with baiting, teaching us the best techniques for casting and reeling in our catches, and making sure we were having a great time every step of the way. His patience and expertise made the experience even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a top-tier fishing experience, Captain Cliff and Austin are the team to book. Highly recommend, and I can't wait to go back!

Captain Colby was an absolute pleasure to fish with. He was waiting on us to arrive-, very personable and put us directly on the fish. Captain Colby took the time to assist my daughters while my wife and I fished, everyone had multiple landings. I have fished on the West, East and Gulf coasts and I would recommend him without hesitation. Fantastic Trip, thank you very much!
