I have been on trips that ended up with a 400 lb Goliath grouper! Also have chartered several trips with Stokes Walker in Destin! He now belongs to the gulf! Buried at sea! This is the worst experience I have ever had! Last time for me!

Response from Matthew:
Hi Anthony, thanks for the 5 star review! When you left my boat you guys were awesome and said what a great time you had and you’ll be back down in a couple months. However the review you left is confusing. Seems like you’re talking about a different charter than mine? Maybe the charter you had in Destin? You had nothing but positives things to say at the dock when we were cleaning the fish....

According to the advertisement, Peacock Bas were still being caught and we have found out since that there was a die off here and we did get one but not at all what was expected. However, Matthew was an awesome captain. Thank you.

Response from Captain Experiences:
Hey Michael, this is Trey with Captain Experiences. Our seasonal reports are based on historical annual biting patterns, so unfortunately, we don’t always have visibility into more niche changes or unexpected weather-related shifts. We do our best to keep our reports page accurate and have our guides be transparent about current conditions. I’m glad you were still able to get on one and that you thought Captain Matthew was awesome. He’s the man! I hope...

I hope
our next trip is a little more action-packed, and I’m glad we could connect behind the scenes and clear things up.
