Captain Justin is great, very kid friendly and knowledgeable. His philosophy towards fishing is awesome in working to get the most time with bait in the water and minimal time underway while moving on quickly from spots that were not generating much action. We were originally to start at 7:00 AM but moved to 4:00 PM after Captain Justin recommended doing so as his recent trips had been more successful in the late afternoon/early evening. His early communication and interest in what we preferred for our trip was greatly appreciated. My grandson’s, ages 12, 17 and 23 very much appreciated having a captain/guide who was so intent on putting them in the best situation to catch fish.  The first couple of spots generated some bites though nothing stayed on the hook but the next two produced several Red Fish and a Stingray and between them some other fish I cannot recall the name of.  Things were heating up at the fourth spot when the weather conditions worsened and it was decided we needed to, mostly due to lightning getting close, get back to the dock. So, our trip was cut short by about an hour and a half and Captain Justin was good enough to offer to prorate my balance but I decided to pay in full without a tip.  We agreed on that and he said he would try to get us back out to finish up before our leaving the next Saturday.  On Friday we communicated and agreed to meet at the dock at 5:45 PM but unfortunately the weather again interfered with our plans and we had to cancel.  We’ll be back next year and all agreed they would like to fish with Captain Justin again and he offered, if that works out, to make up the lost time then.  Overall a very pleasant experience and I would recommend Captain Justin to anyone, especially those with kids. Looking forward to hooking up next year. 

Justin is an amazing captain! We have owned a house in Santa Rosa Beach for five years, and we’ve never had this much fun and caught so many fish! We caught over 20 fish, and two over slot!

Cannot wait to come back and fish with him!

This was our second year going out with Captain Justin and it was even better the second time. He knew all the best spots and got the rods baited up for us to rock and roll. We caught 9-10 keeper sized red fish within the first 30 minutes. He is great with kids and knows how to entertain and make a memorable trip. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Our group of six spent 3 hours with Justin of Bayflats Fishing Charters. He worked very hard to get us into fish. Everything from the boat to the fishing gear was top notch. We caught our limit of Red Fish and enjoyed every minute. We would highly recommend Justin and will book with him for our next trip.

Father and son charter went out and Captain Justin was just great with my 8 year old son. We caught two big keeper red fish, he even recommended how to cook it. We had a great time also caught some trout, croaker and even an unexpected sting ray… Memories will be good for both of us
