We caught some great fish red grouper, gag grouper, amber jack, red snapper, trigger and Mingo. Not all were in season so took pictures and released safely. Also could you add us to okaloosa island, fort Walton beach and destin area for search locations.

The giant sheep head are biting very well and given descent seas and a 5 hour trip or longer I'm catching some delicious red groupers in the gulf. Even a ruff day and to windy even in the bay to target sheephead, still catching delicious and fun fish.

    Brandon was phenomenal. My wife and I had such a fun time. Our first time fishing this way, and he was so accommodating. Moved us from spot to spot trying to help us get a Red Fish to take to dinner and we got one! He was also very nice and kept the good vibes and conversations going the entire time! I would recommend 10 times out of 10!

    Zack is a consummate professional, with a hometown feel. He was clear and very helpful in preparing us for the hunt. In addition, he placed us in a fantastic location to succeed in our hunt. I will definitely be coming back and also recommending him to our friends and family.

    Such a great experience! With a beginner fisher and a seasoned fisherman he handled us both super well. Very attentive and proactive. Didn’t make us sit in the same spot for hours, really got to move around the bay and catch what’s out there.

    We had an amazing time with Jason! He was knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole trip fun from start to finish. He helped us find fish quickly, kept the experience exciting, and made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time.
