Hate to even leave a review to be honest. We only caught 4 fish and the water was pretty rough. We scheduled this boat so our entire party of 7 could fish together but probably won't do trolling again. I think the next time we will get 2 boats and fish in the bays instead of fishing lines being pulled behind a boat out in the gulf. Our Captain and Mate...

We scheduled this boat so our entire party of 7 could fish together but probably won't do trolling again. I think the next time we will get 2 boats and fish in the bays instead of fishing lines being pulled behind a boat out in the gulf. Our Captain and Mate were nice people we just got no results. I wish we were told that the fishing in the morning was not good and probably the same for the afternoon and then we could have saved our $1500.00 for another day. Again, not blaming them but it was a wasted day and we had people that got sick on the boat because the water was pretty rough.

We had an amazing time with Captain Mitch & Jimmy! Captain Mitch was great at finding the spots and Captain Jimmy was great with our boys. All of us had a blast.
I highly recommend these men.
Plus we maxed out on our reds. 5 star all around!

Seth and Austin were awesome! They were extremely accommodating when we needed to switch timing last minute due to a canceled flight. We had a great time on the boat and everyone in our 10 person group had at least one catch. Highly recommend!

We went out on Tuesday which was originally scheduled for Monday but the weather didn’t cooperate and we were thankful that captain Seth suggested going out the next day. The weather was perfect and he put us on the snapper. We had a big group of people with a couple of first timers and everyone caught their limit and and had a great time. I would highly recommend this charter to anyone wanting to have...

These guys were awesome. Had my 70 year old parents, wife, 4 and 6 year old kids and this crew could not have been nicer to all of them. They got the kids on some red snappers and never looked back. Sincere thanks to this crew for the memories today.
