About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Stephen for a full day of targeting multiple Snapper species, Amberjack, Trigger Fish, Wahoo, Cobia, Mahi, King Mackerel, Spanish Mackerel, Grouper, and Scamp

Captain Stephen specializes in all sorts of different styles and techniques! He's not a 1 hook fits all kind of fisherman! Whether it be running different trolling gear to land monster Wahoo or King Mackerel or using lite action spinning reels while catching a cooler full of mahi-mahi we’ve figured out what works best! As for bottom fishing sometimes we go from chicken rigs to sow rigs to free lining live bait! Whatever it takes to put you on the backside of a bent rod and a tight line!

His boat comes loaded with all the gear you could possibly need for a successful day out on the water including all the rods, reels, tackle, bait, fishing licenses, and fish cleaning at the end of the day. So all you have to do is bring your favorite snack and drinks, your sun protection, and your camera, Captain Stephen will take care of the rest!

About Your Guide

Stephen C.

Certified Damn Good Guide

Independent Guide 9 years of exp.

Raised in a family deeply rooted in fishing, my father's journey from being a guide to becoming a game warden during my childhood inspired my own passion for the sport. Growing up, I spent countless days immersed in fishing and hunting pursuits. As an adult, that lifelong enthusiasm remains undiminished. Prior to becoming a captain, I pursued a livelihood as a commercial shark fisherman, which allowed me to fully embrace my love for the water while providing others with the same incredible experiences I cherished as a child. Since transitioning into a captaincy role, I have had the privilege of guiding both inshore and offshore excursions, witnessing firsthand the joy on individuals' faces as they reel in the biggest fish of their lives. I eagerly anticipate many more of these unforgettable moments to come.

We excel in a wide range of fishing styles and techniques. We understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to fishing, and that's why we adapt our methods to maximize your success on the water. Whether it involves utilizing different trolling gear for landing impressive Wahoo or King Mackerel, employing lightweight spinning reels to fill your cooler with Mahi Mahi, or employing various bottom fishing strategies like chicken rigs, sow rigs, or free-lining live bait, we are dedicated to putting you in the best position for an action-packed fishing experience with bent rods and tight lines.

Stephen took our trip on short notice after another captain canceled the day of the trip. My son was very excited about going out so Stephen taking the trip meant a lot. On next to no notice, Stephen met us at the dock and put us on limits of fish and was a pleasure to be around the whole time. Would 100% fish with him again.

Captain Stephan put us on the fish! Logan the deckhand earned his money making sure all 6 of our lines were baited and in the water at all times. They're both friendly and knew what they were doing. We limited out on snapper and caught a ton that we had to throw back. Would highly recommend them to anyone unless it's the week we're coming back down because we'll have them booked forsure.

Captain was only focused on red snapper and nothing else. Then just trolled home without really trying to fish for other fish. I have been on several charter trips, definitely the worst. The crew did the bare minimum. We paid to fish not just ride on the boat around the ocean.
Only reason for a 2 star instead of 1 was the ease of booking the trip.

Trip: Trolling Combo Trip

Response from Stephen:

Nathan, you booked a 5 Hour Trolling Combo. I went over all the expectations before the trip. I told you the bite was a little slow on the morning trip, but we were able to get the limit of snapper. We just did not have any time to troll. We were able to catch you a limit of Red Snapper on this trip also. We only had time to troll for about 45 minutes total and we had 5 Bonita, a king and Spanish. We brought in a better haul than anyone else on the dock all day. On the bottom fishing side, we cannot target trigger fish because it was not open. You are complaining about trolling when it's literally in the name of the trip you booked. You were upset you didn't get a 30lb snapper which is maybe a once a year fish for any charter not running full days. You and your son broke off 4 fish because you could not fight the big fish like we were telling you to. Those were big fish. Unlike your review states, we gave you an amazing trip for anyone not expecting a full day haul on the least expensive trip they could book.

Response from Captain Experiences:

Hi Nathan - I'm sorry to hear this trip was disappointing. Captain Stephen has been in the Captain Experiences family for a while, and gives his clients 110%. It does sound like you all had a very productive day on the water, albeit not what you were hoping for from this trip. Please give us a call so we can find a trip that is tailored precisely to your interests.

Great trip, family enjoyed the entire time. Logan the first mate was awesome and captain was great and put us on the fish all day. Our family consisted of a 15 year old up to 73 year old and everyone enjoyed their time.

Great trip- Right on time, easy to work with! Caught a handful of Spanish Mackerel on the way out, and while the fishing overall was a little slow, Steve got us on some fish and we had a blast- His deckhand was amazing and didn't stop working until he was done cleaning our fish back at the dock- Would definitely go again!~!!
