Just had an OUTSTANDING 4 hour morning Gulf fishing trip out of Shalimar/Ft Walton Beach.
I’m 64, and I was taking my 8 year old grandson on his first ever fishing trip. I was a little concerned about that being in the Gulf. I’ve been “deep sea” fishing many times since I was my grandson’s age — many different ways. I’ve tried party boats, private boats with friends and relatives, and chartering boats for small family groups.
But, I don’t think I could have asked for a better trip — especially for my grandson’s first experience fishing.
Working through the FishingBooker app was easy. I was fortunate to choose these folks and this trip. The communication with Robert and Brooke was excellent from the beginning — including an initial discussion of my situation and getting Robert’s recommendation on the best trip for us.
I received all the info, directions, etc we needed. They were on time and prepared. The boat was well equipped.
In over 55 years of going on various trips, many very nice, this was the most enjoyable experience I’ve had. Robert, Brooke, and Daniel were friendly and worked hard the entire trip to make things go smoothly.
This was a 4 hour Gulf trip, but we spent more time actually fishing than I ever have on any other “half day” trip, or even on most full day trips. We caught plenty of fish, including several pretty big snappers, a few grouper, our limit of mango snappers, and a number of various fish that were out of season or outside size limits (just what you’d expect in the Gulf).
I had anticipated “overseeing” my grandson, but Robert took him under his wing and worked with him wherever we dropped our lines. Robert even took some pictures and videos while working with my grandson which he sent me after the trip. Very thoughtful.
Brooke worked with me keeping bait on and giving advice and recommendations. I just haven’t gotten that level of friendly “close support” before.
When we got back, Robert and Daniel quickly cleaned and bagged our fish while Brooke prepped the boat for their next group leaving right away for an afternoon trip.
My grandson thoroughly enjoyed himself. So did I, but this was really for him. I was entirely pleased. It was a great experience, and I highly recommend Robert, Brooke, and Daniel.
Great job!
