Great trip with Captain Shannon! He found the big Redfish this morning. The boat was clean and ready to go as scheduled. I took home a limit of Redfish and released many more. I recommend this guide to anyone looking for a great time fishing!

Each trip’s price is set by the guide and factors in all of their costs. A big determinant of cost is often the type of boat and associated fuel costs, but other guide costs include leases, marina / slip fees, bait costs, and the cost to provide and maintain all of the gear you’ll need on your trip.
Once you book the trip, we will connect you directly with the guide to go over any additional details. In the meantime, our team is always available to answer your questions via email, text, chat, or call!
