Captain Steve was fantastic! He was knowledgeable and fun. We went to a bunch of different places to get a variety of fish and if they weren’t biting we kept going to find them elsewhere. It was a great trip for both a novice like myself and a pro like my boyfriend. I would recommend this to anyone interested in a fishing charter!

Captain Steve was awesome! We hired him for a private fishing tour and were not disappointed. If we weren’t catching fish he moved us to another spot so we didn’t waste time fishing when there were no fish to be had. Having a knowledgable captain to show you the way is worth every penny instead of sitting on a boat full of knuckle heads that you’re competing with for the same fish. Captain Steve knows his spots, the last one we hit I caught 8 fish in a row! Only recommendation is book the charter for the AM, fish tend to feed more then and there is less boat traffic so you have more options in places to fish.

Good times, fishing and shelling family trip on Friday April 3rd and everyone caught fish. We caught crevalle jack, snapper, sheepshead, sea trout, Spanish mackerel, pompano. and a bonnet head shark Perfect sunbathing trip for those more interested in relaxing than reeling. Captain Rob was great put us on fish, instructed the kids, and kept everyone entertained! Will absolutely come back!

Always a great visit with these guys. Friendly and very knowledgeable. Out of three visits had many keepers on two. Struck put one trip but caught non keepers. Ask for Jr on weekends.

Went out today with Capt Shaun for some back water fishing. We had a blast. He knew right where to go and what to do. I was amazed at how he knew what fish was what as soon as it hit. We caught a lot of fish, but kept just enough to eat. We tossed the rest back. So glad we used his service. Don’t think you could do better. He is the best. Even filleted our catch & then recommended a local restaurant that has a «U hook ‘em, we cook ‘em» platter on the menu(which we thoroughly enjoyed!!)

Went out fishing with Six Chuter out of the Rose Marina with my dad, brother and boyfriend and had a great time fishing 5-mile reef. I’ve been deep sea fishing on bigger boats for sharks off the coast of San Diego as well as charter fishing on Tahoe, and this was closer to the Tahoe experience(perhaps it was the length of time we booked because I think you can book longer trips where you go out further on bigger boats). However, we were looking for a 4-hour, morning trip with a few members of the family and were referred to these guys. Our Boston Whaler-looking boat would probably have fit 6 or 7 comfortably, so with the 4 of us and Captain we had ample space. The boat was clean, seemed well-maintained, and had a large cooler with ice in case we brought food/beverages. I would advise any ladies with small bladders either cut down on the liquids before the trip or inquire about a larger boat with a toilet on board, as ours did not have one(obviously a non-issue for the boys). Our captain(Mike, I think, but I have forgotten in the 2 weeks since we went) was good at finding the fish and kept our hooks in the water as much as possible. While the day we went out was a toughie fish-wise(due to a storm that had shifted the currents, apparently), we managed to catch a ton of fish(lots of Jacks, not good for dinner) and about 10 keepers including a sweet Spanish Mackerel. The other Six Chuter captains were all looking for the fish, too, so I like the fact that Six Chuter had a healthy number of boats out there with their eyes open for good spots. Captain gutted the fish for us right at the dock at the end of the trip so we could take them home and make fish-tacos that night for dinner. Our trip was pretty pro, as opposed to a sight-seeing, lazy, beer guzzling fishing trip, but we wanted to catch some dinner and Captain obliged. I think he was«feeling us out» when we got on board, so if we had been looking for a different kind of trip or had some kiddie fishers on board, I’m sure we would have been accommodated. Having said that, we rented a pontoon boat out of Rose Marina a few days later and threw some lines in the water, but didn’t catch nearly the number and kinds of fish as with Six Chuter, so I felt like we got our money’s worth by having a Captain take us to the good spots.

We have gone out with Captain Steve S. and with Chris. Steve is great with kids and novice fishermen. He is very laid back, has a great personality, is very patient with people new to fishing and goes out of his way to make sure everyone is having a good time. He is happy to bait your hook, even after losing the bait several times in a row. The mood on the boat was very relaxed and fun. We started in the Mangroves and after having no success, he moved us after 20 mins. He made sure he moved us to areas where there were plenty of fish to catch. He brought all our catch on board to show it to us and give us a chance for photos. Chris is serious about fishing. .He may be a good choice for the«fishing pro» who is not looking for fun as much as a quiet day of focused fishing.. We had kids on our trip and we are all pretty green when it comes to fishing, so in our case it wasn’t a good match. The mood was very quiet and we all quickly learned not to let the cooler door drop! Chris will release your catch before it is even on the boat(if he thinks its too small, or not eatable), so if you want any chance of a photo you better move quickly or specifically ask to bring it on board. Both Chris and Steve cleaned our catch when we returned to the dock. The boat does not have a restroom, so plan ahead(although they will bring you back to shore if you request). Remember to bring a hat, drinks and sunscreen. Overall, I recommend that you ask for Steve …
