An awesome day on the water!! Travis is an excellent captain and knows the area and water well. We went to several key spots that he had marked and it was obvious he knew where the fish were. The fish weren’t as active that day, however, Travis knew where to go to make sure we still got on fish to make it a memorable day. Thanks again Travis!! Highly recommend!

We had a half day charter where we split it up between offshore and onshore for redfish and Travis did not disappoint! We caught a decent number of snapper and a few other things out offshore but then ensure we caught some redfish for the first time! Some keepers some not, but it was definitely a great experience overall! We will definitely be calling Travis again! Would love to even try some tarpon one day!...

Excellent day on the water! Travis was an awesome guide! He took great care of us and we had a fabulous time. Mangrove, lane snappers, sheep heads, groupers and grunts were among the catch today!
