Charles is a wonderful captain. He is very kind and knowledgeable. My 15 year old son had his heart set on catching mahi-mahi. We are from the Chicagoland area and we have never been deep sea fishing. Charles gave clear instructions and shared his knowledge. My son caught a few mahi-mahi, several triple tails and an Almaco Jack. We highly recommend Captain Charles!

Captain Charles is the MAN. Can't ask for much more when it comes to a fishing charter. Took us to all the hot spots he knows about. Kept fresh bait on our lines from start to finish. Good music playing. And most importantly just a good wholesome dude who's easy to get along with and happy to help us! Would recommend to anyone trying to catch some fish while in the area!
