Hurricane Helene not gonna stop us!!!!
6 Hour Trip – Nearshore & Offshore on September 27, 2024
Hurricane Helene tried to cancel our trip. But Buddy and his wife Casey did everything to make it happen. We weren't able to go Fri morning because of the storm. But Casey & Buddy were able to reschedule us for Saturday afternoon, even when he was missing the Dawgs game. We were supposed to do an offshore trip, but Buddy recommended staying in the intracoastal due to winds out on the ocean. He was looking out for the safety of all of us. We caught several Redfish and Black Drum for table fair. My oldest daughter caught a 70 lbs shark which was on her bucket list. She also caught as Buddy said "a tournament winning Bill Red Fish". Buddy is very educated on meritime eco system and is willing to share this info on your trip. All in all, I highly recommend Buddy for you next fishing Charter.

3 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing (AM) on August 10, 2024
Captain Jay was fabulous! We have been fishing before but this was our first time shaking and we had a great time. Our family or 6 enjoyed the 3 hour excursion and caught lots of sharks. Captain Jay did an excellent job answering my kindergartners endless stream of questions while also teaching my husband and me and our older children about the area and the various types of sharks. He even sent us a recipe to cook our shark that we took home, which was delicious. We would definitely do this again on our next trip and highly recommend to anyone looking for a charter.

3 Hour Trip – Inshore (11AM) on January 3, 2025
My wife and I had a great 3 hour charter with Capt. Buddy! He got us right to the fish by knowing the area extremely well. Boat was perfect for the day and all equipment was ready to go. When booking the trip Casey was on point and responsive. We look forward to our next charter with Capt. Buddy!

6 Hour Trip – Nearshore & Offshore on July 13, 2024
Captain Jay was fantastic!! We booked a 6 hour near shore and off shore trip, which quickly went sideways when our 11 year old struggled with the swells and got seasick. Captain Jay quickly pivoted and got us over to smoother waters and helped our little guy feel a lot better with a cold pack and a fan. From that point forward we caught shark after shark, including a 5 foot bull shark and a 6 foot sting ray. This day could have been a total bust but it turned out to be amazing and memorable thanks to Captain Jay's great knowledge of the area, what types of fish go where and when according to the tides, and he was so patient helping a kid reel in large fish. I can't highly recommend Captain Jay enough!

5 Hour Trip – Nearshore & Offshore on June 21, 2024
The trip was great. We were met at the doc with a clean boat and a welcoming Captain. We were off and running in no time. We spent some time grabbing live bait and then over to the 1st spot for the day. The Captain worked quickly to get a rod in everyone’s hands even our youngest fisherman. Within a few minutes we were catching some small sharks and some small fish when we hooked onto the big one. The Captain did an outstanding job coaching our young anglers on how to reel in the monster. Unfortunately we did not land the beast. We spent the rest of the trip trying out different spots with no luck until the final minutes of the trip we got on a nice sized shark that put up a good fight for our young crew. While some might see the trip as a bust, I appreciate the effort of our captain to move around to different locations. Sometimes fish just don’t bite and I’m ok with that. This ain’t YouTube or someone’s tic-toc reel; and hey, we landed that shark. Spending time with my son out on the water making good memories is something worth far more. We’ll be back for that monster another day.
