Coming to the area for vacation we decided to take a trip fishing, as we have had a lot of fun in other places doing the same thing. It was two parents and two boys 8 and 11.

Short story is we had a great time and the kids loved it. Hit a bunch of spots, caught a bunch of fish, and learned about the area.

Longer story…..We arrived a bit early and Robbie was getting the boat set up with the marina crew and we got moving a bit before 8AM. The first spot that we headed to already had a boat fishing so we motored towards the end of one of the islands. Got there and the current was strong and there was not much bite, lots of bait thieves. We didn’t waste a lot of time there before moving where mom got the first fish of the day, but was still slow we went to a completely different area and fished some dock structure.

Fishing the shaded structure was the ticket ad the kids started getting hit hard. They had a great time pulling in snappers, grunts, catfish, and even a string fighting jack. We hit a bunch of structure spots and Robbie was able to help the kids and guide us where to cast and when to target different spots. Our final spot for the day we got a speckled trout to finish the day out.

Overall a great morning fishing!

This was a great trip, I booked this trip as a Christmas present, and it was an absolute hit! The Gulf was beautiful, and the bite was on from the start. I was very impressed by Robbie’s knowledge of the water and fishing strategies. His boat was very clean, and we always felt safe. We targeted trout and caught a few other species; we had our limit very quickly. We are very excited to book again in the spring!

I have taken other chartered trips in the past and this one was by far the best one. Everything from the boat, equipment, knowledge, and facilitation was on point. Robert was keen on making sure that we had the best experience possible full of fun. With his help, we caught fish almost every cast. I will be booking another trip next time that I am back.

We decided to book with Captain Robbie after all the great reviews. My husband took our boys ages 12 and 7 and they are still talking about the fun we had. Captain Robbie gave us great options for the trip to keep the kids entertained. We ended up doing a split trip with half fishing, half scalloping it was an absolute blast ! Captain Robbie kept us laughing and in the good spots. We will definitely book with him again when we are back in town. As a plus the scallops made a delicious dinner!

I booked this trip for my husbands 40th bday, as he loves to fish back home, and we had never done ocean fishing. We had an excellent time! It was a perfect day and we caught tons of fish! Captain Robbie was really awesome! He knows exactly what he’s doing and made the trip very enjoyable. Thanks again for an awesome trip!
