We just finished one of the best days ever with Capt. Randy. Limited out and then some on big Redfish. Caught enough scallops for an appetizer as well. Do NOT think twice about booking a charter with Capt. Randy. He will put you on the fish.

We had a great day scalloping today. Captains Randy and Debbie were so great and made the trip successful and fun. They knew just where to go to get the most scallops possible. They are so knowledgeable about the area and were great guides providing lots of info along the way. They were very prepared and had thought of everything. They even took the time to shuck some of the scallops during lunch and cook them up for us on the grill. What a treat! We would definitely come back and do this trip again.

Not only a super captain but a great guy! My husband Denny and I have been out multiple times with Capt. Randy and will continue to venture out on fishing trips. He sure does know his way around the river and gulf and makes sure that fish are caught despite the conditions. Super guy and super trips!!!!!
