    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.

    My son and I had a great experience with Capt. Rob. We didn't have the best weather for our trip, but Capt. Rob gave us plenty of options to put us on the fish. We will certainly book with Capt. Rob again.

    Troy provided an amazing fishing trip for our crew. He was kept busy re-baiting hooks for a crew of 6, and never showed signs of it being a bother to him. Troy was very concerned that we had a memorable trip and provided several locations for us to try our luck to reel in the big ones! Thanks, Troy!!

    This was a complete blast! Tom really knows what he’s doing too. He was patient with us, and our ultra newbie grandson from Phoenix. He taught him how to catch mackerel and pompano. He went the extra mile to find the fish and show us how to land them. We highly recommend !

    Captain Rob was excellent! Was not a good day for fishing, not good for all that day. Had stormed the night before. We still caught bass, black snapper, and a stingray. It was fun and will do it again!!! Thank you Captain Rob for a great experience! ~Tammy and birthday brother

    We Loved Captain Shawn! He was patient, helpful and very engaging. If the fish weren’t biting in one spot he’d move to another. We caught a variety of species and was knowledgeable about every one we caught . He realized how excited I was to see the dolphins so he got them to jump in our waves from the boat. Every time we saw them he was sure to try to get them to interact with us. His boat was very nice and clean, you could tell he loved his boat. IT WAS AWESOME! We plan on a second trip with him to do offshore fishing next. We enjoyed his inshore trip and hospitality! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! One more thing… although we didn’t bring our 10 year old son I definitely would not hesitate to take him out on a Captain Shawn’s boat! He’s a family man, I could tell he would do great with younger passengers as well.

    Shannon P. with Shawn S. of Bon Secour, Alabama

    We went on a charter with shawn today and it was great. We had fun and caught a bunch of fish. He also taught us a bunch of different things about fishing. Overall this was a great trip and I would recommend it.

    Jamie is awesome! This is the 2nd time we have fished with him. He got us all on the biggest fish we have ever pulled in. 24 & 26 lbs Jacks! Would love to go again! So much fun. He definitely knows what he is doing. Made all the right calls for our trip. Weather was a bit choppy when we where supposed to orginally go out. So he had us wait and that was absolutely the right thing to do. Ended up being the best day. 3 year old even had fun. Seeing dauphins where and added suprises. Definitely recommend.
