   Captain Jeff and Jackson made our fishing trip the best charter experience we’ve ever had! We all caught plenty of fish and even limited out on snapper. You couldn’t ask for two better guys to spend a day on the water with. My son, my grandson, and I made memories that will truly last a lifetime. Those memories are worth far more than money, and we’re incredibly grateful for the experience. Thanks again, Captain Jeff and Jackson, for an amazing day on the water. We’ll never forget it! — Kelven

Captain John saw a storm was coming in on the day we had originally booked. Contacted us ahead of time and was able to schedule our trip for an earlier day. Captain John wanted to make sure we were able to still go fishing and didn’t have to cancel our trip. If the fish weren’t biting, we moved on. Caught Red Snapper. Our dogs had a blast on their first fishing trip. Thank you for the opportunity, we had a good time.

I chartered the Fear Knot with Captain Richard, aka “Colonel” and his first mate, Connie.  I had a wonderful time We  fished at several different sites and caught several different varieties of fish. I had so much fun that after I got done fishing with them on Wednesday I booked them for Thursday as well so I got to spend two mornings on the Fear Knot  and it was the best time I spent on the island.

This was the best part of our vacation, Erik is a honest hard working guide. He made sure we had a great fishing trip. He went out before our 6am charter and caught fresh minnows and shrimp to ensure we had the best opportunity catching speckled trout. It was a pleasure talking to him about his dad Gary which is a local fishing legend. You won't be disappointed with this charter as they have 40 years of experience and you can tell the moment you step on the boat. My favorite part is it was a true fishing experience as Erik keeps everything simple and uses his instincts to keep you on the fish.
