What an amazing day. Going into the trip, our goal was to catch snook then land some good fish for dinner. We spent the first 1.5 hours catching snook on practically every cast, then headed to a different location to load up on trout for the dinner table. Caught more than enough trout, and also hooked into several sharks for a fun fight. Constant action from tarpon, but didn’t get lucky enough to hook up (this time). This was one of the best charters we’ve been on, and we can’t wait to get back out there with Captain Charlie!

Captain Charlie and his first mate Dria made for an awesome day of fishing on a last-minute booking. I’ve never been on a fishing charter, so I didn’t know what to expect, but Captain Charlie sure did set the standard. Capt Charlie was quick to move locations to find the bite. After some quick moves, he found the fish and had us catching nice-sized sea trout and shark one after another before taking us into the backwater to go for big snook, a request I made in the comments on FishBooker. In short order, I was hooked up on my personal biggest snook.

The whole time, Captain Charlie and Dria made sure we had everything we needed and surprised us with excellent pictures and videos of the action. At the end of the trip, Capt. Charlie expertly filleted our catches and packed them up for us to eat later that night. What a great experience with a great captain and first mate, Dria!

This was our first time out with Capt. Charlie and the experience exceeded our expectations. He was very attentive and hands-on, making sure our live bait was ready, scouting fish, moving accordingly, etc. His first mate, Andrea, was an excellent addition to our trip. We caught snapper, snook, sea trout, shark and 1 stubborn catfish. Lol

He recommended a local restaurant, Mudbugs, to prepare our fresh fish.which was amazing!!

Side note, Captain Charlie and Andrea came over to Mudbugs to drop off my daughter’s sunglasses. Truly class acts!

We would definitely recommend Captain Charlie!!  Until next time!

I had been chasing my first snook for several trips down to Florida and had been unsuccessful on several other guided trips before fishing with Capt. Charlie. Needless to say he was quickly able to change that and created the highlight of our trip. Service was fantastic, and Charlie didn’t hesitate to make any changes needed to find fish. I can’t recommend booking enough! if he could put us Michigan Boys on some fish then he can for you too! We will definitely be looking to book again for our next trip down, thanks again!
