We had a fantastic trip with Phil. We launched as soon as we arrived and where fishing in about 45…read moreminutes. I took out myself and four teenage kids on this trip. We stopped to pick up bait out of his pods and saw several sharks swarming around the bait site. These were pretty good sized sharks I will add. It was pretty cool to see. Check out my video! After we collected our bait we headed out. We had to go out to federal waters to fish so we went 10 miles off shore I believe. The first spot we stopped in there were a pod of dolphins hanging out seemingly waiting for us to bring them some fish up for them. Phil said that "this is the worst thing that could happen to us" so we left that area and headed to another. Phil took time to explain what to do to the kids and made sure they were taken care of with bait first. I appreciated his attention to detail and his witty banter with them. When we got to the new spot, he baited us all up and had us all drop to the bottom at the same time. It wasn't two minutes before we were catching fish. One after another we started reeling them up. As we were bringing them up, two of us had sharks come and snatch our catches off of the line. We then bailed on that spot because of the sharks. Arrived at another spot and had the same luck. It's like this man knows exactly where to drop bait to reel up fish fast. Every spot we visited was like this. Phil even communicated with another Captain about the luck we were having and he headed over to our spot to fish. He seemed to appreciate the help and in no time his group was catching fish. They didn't seem to have much luck until Phil called him over. We then moved to a spot to catch Amberjack. We caught a few but they were too small to keep. We caught our limit of Red Snapper after throwing several back, landed a big triggerfish we had to release due to season being over, and caught a few other random fish as well. All in all it was a fantastic trip! Phil and his wife cleaned and cut the fish into nice fillets for us once we hit the beach. What a haul!!! ***HEADS UP*** Here is a note about Greyton Beach though. Sharks are really close to the beach. In fact, as we were pulling up to get on the trailer we saw a 5 ft shark swimming between a group of beach goers. They were completely oblivious to it. It was literally in 3-4 ft deep water probably 20 yards from shore. I feel like the bait traps just off the beach are really attracting them to this area. So come to fish but swim elsewhere. No one wants to be shark food yo!!!

Capt Mark was extremely professional and so entertaining! Having his first mate, and better half, Kayla, joining us rounded out our trip with fun stories, advice on fishing, and sheer fun to be around. Mark's philosophy on fishing and stalking the fish was unparalleled! We caught King Mackerel, Grouper, and Red Snapper. Then as we were heading in, Mark spotted a ton of Bonitas feeding and had to stop to try and catch one. He showed me where to throw my line and on my first cast I landed one immediately! THE most fun fish to bring in on light tackle!!! I could go on and on about our trip, but there just isn't enough time in the day!

I'm a thick girl but I'm not fat. I'm a very active girl so i was very confused. I wasn't the only one who felt this way. There was another family who went with us and the mom was a bigger lady. The lady who checked us in kept asking loudly in a rude way what her weight was. I'm pretty sure no woman wants to tell her weight in front of people. I just felt it was a better way to ask these questions since we had already answered them on the wavier we had to sign. Going forward i think it's best to make sure you review the waiver that everyone signs. If we would have listened to the check in lady we wouldn't have went because she made it as if we were too fat to go.
