Amazing is really too weak to describe the experience we had with Captian Eugene and Rich. They were so knowledgeable, very patient and great teachers to us, but the best part of it all was our family made new friends. If you’re thinking about chartering a trip, they are the best option in our opinion and our family will always book with them. It was truly an honor to be their first charter on Captian Eugene’s boat, which, in itself was stellar! Thank you both for a life changing experience!

We just had a great time fishing with Captain Robert “Gene” Lansdale and his mate/brother Rich.  One of my to-do’s was to fish a rig so we headed directly for a natural gas rig and the fishing was great!  The snapper were so much fun to catch even if we couldn’t keep them and we had two monsters bite - one straightened the hook and we couldn’t keep the other from breaking off on the rig.  They might have been giant cobia but we’ll save them for the next trip.  We got to tour the coastline on my wife’s request and I landed the monster drum at the lighthouse.  Overall a terrific trip and we’ll be back!

You really can’t ask for a better trip! Captain Gene and Jeff were awesome with our two 5 yr olds on the boat. His boat is a catamaran fishing boat so it keeps you and the kids extremely comfortable even in high winds (we had some at first). They both worked with each of the kids to make sure they had a blast. I’m not sure who had more fun seeing the kids catch so many fish - us dads or Captain Gene and Jeff! It wasn’t until the kids were worn out reeling up their fish when he asked if the adults wanted a go. So he put us on some bigger snapper! Then when most guides would have just brought us back to the ramp, Captain Gene asked if we wanted to try for some bull reds. That’s when he wore out the dads and grandpa - pulling in 8 monster bull reds! You never know what you’re getting when you go out with a new guide, but finding Captain Gene was exactly what we wanted and then some! He and Jeff are out there because they both love fishing and sharing their passion with others and it rubs off with everyone. Thanks again! I look forward to going back out with you soon!

This was 3 of 4 first fishing adventure. The weather was great but the seas were rough due to a storm in the Gulf. Cpt. and crew were very thoughtful and forward of what to expect if we went out. We did, and I am so glad!! The seas were very rough and the swells were high, but we had the time of our lives. We caught quite a few fish, enough for a dinner or two, Several nice size snapper we couldn’t keep because not in season yet, but the adventure was well worth it. We will be back, and hopefully calmer seas and seasonal fishing. Sorry I don’t have pictures.

Eugene and Wanda were great!  This was our family’s first fishing charter and it was awesome!  What a great experience for everyone, kids and adults. We were very lucky to find that the Bull Reds were spawning when we were out…literally hundreds of ‘big fish’ swimming on top of each other and biting like crazy. We then switched gears and were able to land some Red Snappers out by one of the gas drilling rigs.  Cherry on top was probably 2 dozen dolphin sighting…thanks for a great day!!
