We had a blast from start to finish. Captain Rick is professional, friendly, and put us on fish within the first 30 minutes. Beautiful boat, beautiful bay, and a memorable day.

Winter fishing done right! Captain Jake knew where to take us and we filled the cooler with a mix of Redfish and Mackerel. Can’t wait to come back in the summer.

A calm, clear fall morning and nonstop action on Spotted Seatrout and Jack Crevalle. My boys are already asking when we can go again with Captain Rick!

We’ve been on a few charters in the Gulf but this one stands out. The Skeeter bay boat was perfect for the inshore reefs, and Captain Jake made it both productive and fun!

Couldn’t believe the size of the Grouper we got inshore. Captain Rick was dialed in to all the right spots and even cleaned the fish for us afterward. Absolutely worth it!

Our spring break trip was made by this charter! Captain Jake knew where to find the fish and made sure our whole group had a great time. Spanish Mackerel and Redfish were the stars of the day.

Even in cooler temps, the fishing was hot! Captain Rick worked hard to find us some active areas and we brought in a ton of fish. My first time fishing in Pensacola and it won’t be my last!

Hands down the best bay fishing experience I’ve had in years. The Skeeter bay boat handled great inshore, and we managed a nice haul of Redfish and Grouper. Captain Jake kept us on fish all day!

We had a fantastic morning with Captain Jake! The bite was steady and we pulled in some solid Redfish and a couple of flounder. His knowledge of the bay was incredible. Highly recommend this charter!

Captain Jake not only knows the best fishing spots but teaches you how to properly land the fish, we caught our limit of red snapper then moved on to other species that were equally as fun to catch.

Caught plenty of fish, some we had to throw back, we got back to the dock and he did a masterful job of cleaning them, now we have a freezer full of fresh fish filet.
