The smile my boy @kyleernestine9 had on his face made everything even more amazing on this trip @whitneyk5918 ! The gags and Goliath’s are literally running together right now in the same holes in the bay ….. never seen them like this before but it’s fun !
Just scored big on the water today! Caught some awesome redfish that were giving me a run for my money. Fishing vibes on point!

For a chill, homey vibe, you've gotta book this trip. The guy's laid-back, lets you steer the ship on what you wanna do, and really listens to what you're after. He's up for doing as little or as much as you're into. Don't pass up on this awesome personality and experience.

Had a blast fishing with Captain Dillon! We were just hoping for a good time and some tasty fish to take home, and Dillon really delivered. We scored a bunch of snappers, and my daughter, who usually doesn't catch much, nailed the first one—a keeper! It was our first time fishing in Florida, and it turned out to be a ton of fun. Feeding the pelicans with the fish carcasses after filleting added another cool highlight. Thanks, Dillon!

Had a blast with Captain Dillon of the Slot Boys on a half-day trip out in the bay! Snagged some snapper, grouper, and my wife reeled in a massive ray! Already counting down the days till next year!

We had such a blast with Captain Dillon on a night shark-catching adventure! We even snagged a grouper and got to bring some home to whip up in the kitchen. Dillon was awesome, making the whole trip super chill and fun—we were cracking up the entire time. The supplies were top-notch, giving off a real local vibe, and we felt totally safe. Dillon's a pro who knows these waters like the back of his hand. Count on us for another round with Captain Dillon! Don't miss out on the chance to go and give a shark a smooch!

Dillon really knows his stuff when it comes to the waters. We braved a stormy night, but still managed to reel in some gorgeous fish. Fingers crossed that Dillon shoots us over some of the pics he snapped!

Captain Dillon was awesome—kept us entertained all day and even hooked us up with a few fish. I'd totally do it again and definitely recommend him and his charters to anyone.
