Although the sun cooperated, the ocean water temperature swing of almost 20 degrees colder and high winds did not.  Although we did not have a bite all day, Captain Chad did everything possible to try to land fish.  We must have tried a dozen-plus spots and he didn’t give up.  His afternoon trip was canceled so he even kept us out an extra hour trying to find the fish.  His explanations of how the bait fish are scared up for feeding was fascinating.  You could tell he knows his stuff.  While we didn’t catch anything, it was a lovely day on the boat and I would absolutely book Captain Chas again.  If the weather cooperates, look out fish!!!!

We had a great time out on the water with Captain Chad! He was able to get us on fish right away. We hooked a variety of fish and Captain Chad was always changing tactics to land as many fish as possible. We ran into many sharks and even a Goliath Grouper that were hungry and grabbed some of the fish as we were reeling in. Squeezing drags and busted lines!

We caught Triple Tail, Spanish Mackerel, Gag Grouper, and a 50 inch King Fish. We also lost a few Amber Jacks and Cobia. Chad had us on fish all day and the longest we went without a bite was 15-20 minutes.

The weather was perfect 75 and sunny.

Let me start by saying Chad was great! His equipment is new and well kept and he instantly made my son and I feel comfortable and welcome. This was our first guided fishing trip so I honestly did not know what to expect. Chad had a number of unique fishing spots to take us to and taught us the techniques we needed to catch each type of fish (we caught 3 different species). I was initially debating between booking a 2hr or a 1/2 day trip and I am so glad we went with the half day.
So lastly I want to say THANK YOU CHAD!!  You MADE my sons vacation. Out of the hundreds of fishing “outings” he has been on he says this by far is his favorite.

This is no FISH story my 9 year old son and I caught well over 150 fish today.  Anything and every species you can catch inshore we caught. Except for snook. But not because Capt Chad didn’t try. We pulled the hook on atleast 2 decent sized ones. He went out of his way to track down a snook for my boy. And in the mean time put us on the meat over and over again. This was a birthday present for my son and CAPT Chad made it worth while and then some. Great guy great Capt great times. Thanks brother see ya in June for both days and trophy chasing.
