Amazing experience!!! Most of us were first time saltwater fishermen and got to experience many different species of fish including king and spanish mackerel, red snapper and 3 8ft bull sharks. The deckhand Tyler was super helpful and made sure that the kids got to experience every bit of the

First time deep see fishing and I was able share the experience with my son. By far the best experience I have had in a long time. TJ and Tyler done a great job and are very professional to deal with. Had an experience of a lifetime
...Read More realing in a large bull shark during our trip and to have my 8 year old son get to share that moment will last forever. Thank you guys for a great trip. I would recommend them to anyone and will definitely be coming back to have that experience again.

We went on a 6 hour trip this morning. Took 2 of my grandson s ages 8 and 9 we had. A great time. Had trouble with the dauphin s following us but we. did manage catch several fish. I think the captain felt sorry for us
...Read More because dauphins he ended up letting us fish for an additional 30-45 minutes. We started off the trip with prayer which was a great way to begin the trip. Will definitely book with him again.

Captain TJ provided us with the most amazing fishing experience. Our family has been on several fishing trips, and we were absolutely blown away by this experience from beginning to end. The professionalism and hospitality were incredible, the fishing was unbelievable, and the memories will be with us for a

Tyler was so attentive, made sure we always had what we needed, and assured that we were continually having an exciting experience. We cannot say enough about how amazing our trip with TJ on the High Cotton was! The trip, the crew, and the experience cannot be beat!

We took the afternoon tour and had a great time. We started with the pre-launch prayer, which we all appreciated. Newbie tip - make sure you hear Capt. TJ’s instructions about the boat before jumping on it and going to the bathroom. Another newbie tip - listen
...Read More closely when Tyler is explaining things. If you do, you will have more success than if you try and “figure it out”. We started out getting some bait fish, which was fun. We got to the point where we were catching 3 and 4 fish at a time. Then we moved on to bigger fish like Bonita and Snapper and then on to some Amberjack and then we caught an 8’ long shark, 200+ pounds. If you want you can keep the legal fish you catch and Tyler will clean them and bag them up for you. Some of the restaurants in the area will cook them up for you as well.

Captain TJ and deckhand AJ were great! We caught a lot of different types of fish (trolling and bottom fishing). I requested to try catching a shark and we ended up catching a nice sized shark, which was awesome.
