We had an amazing day on the water with Captain Clay! He was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about the local waters. We felt completely safe and confident in his hands, which was especially important on a shark fishing trip. Captain Clay is a true professional—he knew exactly where to find the fish. We caught a fantastic variety, including red snapper and lizardfish, but the real highlights were the sharks! We were thrilled to hook a hammerhead and a blacktip shark. To top it off, Captain Clay expertly processed the blacktip shark for us to take home, and we even got to keep the jaw as a souvenir. We can’t recommend Captain Clay enough for a safe, exciting, and unforgettable fishing adventure!

Had an unforgettable day on the water with Jake! He guided us right to the fish—we landed two beautiful redfish and even caught two sharks! Jake was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the entire experience fun and stress-free. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking for a great day on the water, I highly recommend booking a trip with him. Can’t wait to come back!

My husband and I came for our 2-year anniversary and were excited for a deep sea fishing trip! Even though the weather kept us inshore, Jake made it an incredible experience. He was kind, helpful, and always set us up for success. We had so much fun that we came home completely exhausted but smiling! We caught 2 sharks and several other fish. I would recommend Jake to anyone—from beginners to seasoned anglers—and we will absolutely be booking with him again soon. Thank you for the friendship and the unforgettable memories on your boat!

Going into the trip, my son and I weren’t sure what to expect, but meeting our guide was amazing. They made us feel welcome, showed great hospitality, and helped us get settled on the boat so we could get started. My son was familiar with the type of fishing pole, and instead of getting annoyed, the guide patiently taught him. By the end of the trip, he had learned a lot. The guide stayed calm and approachable the entire time, making the experience even more enjoyable. Although we usually fish in Arkansas, deep sea fishing was a completely different and exciting experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone!

We had an incredible inshore fishing experience! Our captain was knowledgeable, patient, and super easy to talk to, making the whole trip relaxing and enjoyable. In just 4 hours, we caught an impressive variety of fish, including flounder, redfish, and more. The captain knew exactly where to go, ensured we were reeling them in, and made sure we had a great time the entire way. It was fun, productive, and everything we hoped for in a guided trip. We highly recommend booking!
