Full day felt like 3 days
VERIFICADOMy son and I were in Orlando for a wedding and wanted to slip out for a day on the water. We both enjoy saltwater fishing and frequently book charters. We strongly prefer offshore and open waters to the close or intercoastal fishing. Being that there were only two of us, I didn’t want to book a huge boat for tons of money that usually gets split up between friends. Southern Thunder Charters was the perfect solution. The lower price for a smaller capacity is an OUTSTANDING solution if just a few of you want to go out. A smaller capacity does not mean smaller fishing. You literally sacrifice NOTHING on this trip. We met captain Bryan at the launch by the inlet. Within minutes we were under way. Launching from the inlet put us out on the water in a few short minutes. We stopped about 1/2 a mile from shore and found some bait fish schools to load up on greenies(sardines) which are a choice bait for most game species off shore. As we headed out, the amount of boats thinned considerably as we realized the winds had become strong and the waves were fairly tall for this time of year. Captain and us discussed this and he asked if we were comfortable proceeding out or to use other alternatives. We assured him we do a lot of offshore fishing in some bad seas so we were very comfortable proceeding. And what an awesome day we had. We ran out between 8 and 10 miles and that was as far as we needed to go. Captain Bryan put us immediately on the fish! It was a struggle to anchor up well due to the swells of the seas, the wind, and the conflict with the water current so we did a lot of drifting and trolling, which worked really well. Immediately, my son landed a beautiful Bonita, and the day was on. With in a few hours we had landed (and occasionally lost a few monsters hehe) quite a collection. Captain Bryans experience and outstanding communication put some great fish in the boat, many good eating species, which freed us up to ty some other techniques and target rarer and more exotic species. It was a very fulfilling day. Its hard to believe it all fit into one day and yet was also relaxing and enjoyable. In addition to bonita, there were a plethora of species including snappers (all shapes and sizes), cobia, barracuda, sharks (again all shapes and sizes) and more king fish than I remember seeing in one day, including gulf side. Cobia and kings are definitely the captains specialty but he was able and capable to put us an just about anything we wanted. I learned a lot from him. It really felt like more of the type of trip where a friend takes you out for the day on their boat and we all have a great time. I strongly recommend Captain Bryan and Southern Thunder Charters for any type of fishing you would like to do in the area. His knowledge, communication skills, experience and just general personality add up to just an outstanding experience for everyone.
