How did you get started guiding?

I grew up in Destin and spent most of my childhood fishing. Most of my friends fish so I guess you could say it’s in my blood. I got my captains license in 2004 and ran boats for other boat owners until 2014 when I started my own business.

What makes you different from other guides?

I just cater to my clients. If they are in it for the experience we give them the best experience we can. If they are in it for the meat we try to make that happen. We just try to make sure our customers have a great time on the water no matter what.

Trip: Destin's Craziest Catches

Judah and his crew were amazing. We slaughtered 60 red snapper in 4 hours. We also reeled in 2 sandbar sharks. Judah was steering excellently and the crew worked their tails off to make sure we could immediately recast after reeling in a catch. The custom boat was also a great touch with a nice rearfacing bench for resting from catching so many fish. Definitely book these folks
