Captain Rick was awesome! We caught fish when nobody else wanted to go out and fish. He was an absolute professional. We will be making frequent trips!

The captain and crew were excellent and worked hard to get us fish. Sadly the fish were not very cooperative so our success was mediocre.

Jake was an awesome guide. He knew his shit about the area and got us on fish on a fun bay trip to take our son out and see how’d he do with bigger water fishing. We will for sure be back to go out deep sea fishing with him next time.

Awesome boat, captain and hand. Jake and Logan were very friendly and flexible with a storm that was brewing through. They were super knowledgeable about the water and where the fish were. I recommend them to anyone wanting to get out and catch some fish!

Great day! Capt Rick's experience and knowledge made it a great day of fishing. The conditions were not great but he was still able to put us on fish and created a great experience for my family. I would highly recommend Rick to anybody that wants a truly great experience. We will be planning another trip with Capt Rick!
Thanks again for a great experience

Jake was a great Captain for our Inshore Fishing Trip. He worked really hard and was very respectful and did all he could to help us take some fish home. The conditions weren't perfect, but that's fishing. I would recommend Jake to anyone looking for a family fishing trip inshore.

Overall the trip was as expected. The whole party had a GREAT time. Fishing experience was frustrating for sure. Fish did not want to play and when they did the dolphins had some easy snacks. One issue we had was we were never advised where the life jackets/floatation devices were located. There were times when the captain would reposition, frustrated, and the deck was not ready for the move. ...

One issue we had was we were never advised where the life jackets/floatation devices were located. There were times when the captain would reposition, frustrated, and the deck was not ready for the move. The deckhand worked his butt off and his efforts were appreciated. Would definitely try this trip again.

If you want to catch fish go to capt Rick plain and simple. He put us on fish left and right. We came for red snapper but cap wasn't just gonna let us catch snapper. We limited out on snapper with in the first hour. Then he got us hooked up on Mingo, whitey, Mai Mahi, goggle eye. We had more fish then we know what to do with. Great charter, great captain and deck...

This fishing trip was the best I have ever had! Jake’s knowledge of the area was amazing! We got our Red Snapper limit in the first 20 minutes!! I have never caught so many fish in a short amount of time. If there wasn’t a limit we could have filled his entire boat.

Definitely had a great experience Jake and his deck hand were very friendly and accommodating I had a party of 6. We caught a lot of fish all of my kids were super happy. I’ve been on fishing trips before where I felt like they were trying to rush you in and out. Definitely did not feel that way with these guys. 100% will use them again.

Jake was great. He put us on fish the whole time. No dull moment and no sitting in one spot hoping for the best. Even recommended a place to take our fish to be cooked for us.

Excellent in shore trip! Capt Jake was knowledgeable, personable, and just plain old fashioned fun. 10/10 I would run with him for all my Pensacola trips. I mean, you can’t complain to hook up on 27” and a 29” red fish!!

Rick and Logan are awesome, would love to go out with these guys again. Despite the weather we still went out and caught fish. Could have only imagined how well the trip could have been if Mother Nature had been nicer.

Our trip with Captain Rick and his first rate deckhand Logan was fantastic. They put us on multiple fish of different types and we tried different methods, some trolling, a lot of bottom fishing and some deep water with electric reels. We caught a lot of large triggerfish, three King mackerels and enough Mingo (vermillion) snapper that we had far too much fish to eat over the next two days. The boat was fantastic,...

Our trip with Captain Rick and his first rate deckhand Logan was fantastic. They put us on multiple fish of different types and we tried different methods, some trolling, a lot of bottom fishing and some deep water with electric reels. We caught a lot of large triggerfish, three King mackerels and enough Mingo (vermillion) snapper that we had far too much fish to eat over the next two days. The boat was fantastic, offering the six of us more than enough space to spread out and all fish at once, and Logan was knowledgeable and efficient at everything. I really enjoyed catching a small shark and we had a larger one steal some of our fish to add a little excitement. Near the end of the day we had a large amberjack up to the boat but unfortunately he got off. We played with a few barracuda as well, caught a few snapper and small groupers that we couldn't keep and in between spots, we could chat and I enjoyed learning about the local waters and the trade. I personally caught 22 fish and my son got 21 so we were busy. The weather was near perfect and Rick adeptly steered us around a small storm, where we got to see a waterspout. I would highly recommend Gulf Bay - we had a blast and really enjoyed getting to learn from a couple of true professionals. Thank you Captain Rick, thank you Logan!
