Snapper bite was phenomenal for last week of December. Now it's mingo snappers, red groupers, scamp groupers, and flounders. Fishing has been great!

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.
