Highly recommend a day on the boat with Justin! We took a 6 hour deep sea fishing charter with 4 adults and 2 kids. Caught some huge lane snappers and a big mutton. My dad hooked an 8-10 foot shark too! Justin coached him through how to reel him in as close as possible to the boat. It was very exciting! He was very knowledgeable and was happy to walk us novices through all of the steps for a great deep sea catch and allowing the kids to help out along the way. He knew exactly where to go depending on the type of fish you wanted to catch. We bottom fished and trolled as well. Did I mention he is great with the kids?! The boat was new, high tech, and VERY clean. Had a #1 only bathroom on board which was very appreciated. He had lots of tidbits of info about the surrounding water, land, and space center for us too. Justin helped us see a lot of other sea life on our trip as well- dolphins, a huge sea turtle, stingrays, and pelicans (a.k.a. dumb birds). He beautifully cleaned and filleted our fish for us. The kids loved throwing all the guts into the bay for the catfish and dumb birds lol. Super nice guy A++ Highly Recommend

If you want a guide with a good boat, knows the fish and how to catch, and just an all round great got and top notch captain you need to check out Saltire Fishing. "
