3-Hour Fishing Trip (AM) on January 2, 2025

We had a fantastic morning of fishing with Captain Justin! My four boys and I headed out early, and Justin made the most of our day; finding hidden spots and helping my kids pull in redfish, trout and perch in pretty challenging conditions. He had excellent knowledge of the area, was wonderful with kids of all ages, and ensured everyone had a chance to share in on the fun. Would highly recommend!

Great trip considering we started out at 37°! Bring those boys back when it’s a little warmer, lol. Looking forward to it and seeing the Moline crew again.

4-Hour Fishing Trip (AM) on December 26, 2024

We had a fantastic day fishing with Captain Justin. Family of 4 with two teenage boys - captain was very knowledgeable and kept taking us to his spots. Wasn’t afraid to move spots if bite was off. Justin always had lines ready to go. Threw most back but kept a few and had fried and blackened at a local restaurant. 10 out of 10. Will be back to fish with Captain Justin for sure!!

2-Hour Evening Fishing Trip on August 4, 2024

Had a great time with Justin out on the water. We were down here in Florida at one of the hottest months and hardest fishing months. We brought 3 kids with us and he was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and intuitive to the needs of the 3 kids who had very little fishing experience. He took us around and shared his knowledge of the area with us, and even though we didn’t catch any big fish that day, the kids caught memories and that’s more important. I highly recommend and appreciate Justin for how well he treats his clients!

4-Hour Fishing Trip (AM) on June 5, 2024

An epic experience!! This Man works so hard to get you on the fish!! We caught fish at the first three spots we went too, but wasn’t enough for Cap Justin!! Had to get the big ones!! Very laid back and in tune with his customers!! Probably the most accommodating Charter Captain I have ever known! Even when the reports of a slow catch day for the other crews were rolling in at least we were hooking up! Had one of the most enjoyable fishing trips ever with this Capt! Thanks again and We will be back !! Just for the record … caught at least a few dozen reds, ( lost count for sure ) a dozen cats and a ray!! In four hours for four people! Easy launch location from Santa Rosa with plenty of parking and not busy at all! Our every need was taken care of!! From drinks to “Issues” (LOL) typical fishing things from getting hung up to tangling were handled with ease !! He kept us in the drink where the fish are !!

4-Hour Fishing Trip (PM) on October 15, 2024

Had a great trip with Justin. We had a ton of action and came home with three reds in the slot that made for a delicious dinner. Justin was a perfect host: knowledgeable about his craft, professional in his operations, and a personable and enjoyable companion on the boat. My three sons and I will be back. Highly recommend.
