Captain Ashley Beall has taken me on 2 trips in the recent months, and he really knows his way around the water and knows all the secret sweet spots guaranteed to catch a lot of different kinds of fish! Went with my best friend and our husbands, everyone had a great time! Will definitely be going again! Definitely recommend, 10 out of 10

Had an amazing time with Ashley out on the boat. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful the entire time. I had never been on an excersion like this so I had no idea what to expect going into it but I was thoroughly pleased with the experience. Id encourage anyone who is thinking about it to book with him. I had a great time and learned a lot and ended up catching a few fish that Id never imagined me being able to reel in. I would not have been able to do it without the help of Ashley. Overall was a fantastic experience.

If youre looking for the ultimate fishing experience, look no further than On the Spot! This is not just a fishing trip; it’s an adventure on the water that you’ll be talking about for years to come. From the moment we set sail, the crew treated us like royalty. They are absolute fishing wizards, with an encyclopedic knowledge of the local waters and a passion for the sport that’s infectious! Their enthusiasm made every moment exhilarating, whether we were reeling in trophy-sized catches or simply enjoying the breathtaking views. And let’s talk about the fish! Thanks to the expert guidance from Captain Ashley, we landed some of the biggest Reds I’ve ever seen. Each catch was celebrated like a major victory, and the crew went above and beyond to ensure we had a good time. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a newbie, you owe it to yourself to book a trip with On the Spot. This isn’t just a fishing charter; it’s a magical escape into nature with some of the best people you could ever meet. I can’t recommend them highly enough. I can’t wait to go back and do it all over again!
