Brighter Days Sport Fishing Customer Reviews

As soon as the boat stopped, we were right on a massive plume of snapper. The captain knew exactly where to go and how to put us on fish without wasting any time. The action started instantly, and it stayed consistent. Red Snapper and Vermilion Snapper were both biting, and they quickly filled the cooler. It was clear this captain knows the grounds well and understands how to make every stop count.

We had an awesome time on the water. Taylor and Noah were fantastic with our four boys, patient, encouraging, and great at teaching them about fishing and even a bit about boating. They made sure the kids stayed engaged and learned along the way, which really meant a lot to us. We had some competition from dolphins, so we didn’t end up with many keepers, but that more than balanced out with a truly world-class cobia. The boys are still talking about it and reliving every moment. We’re already looking forward to our next trip and can’t wait to get back out there.

The captain and crew went above and beyond to make sure we had a great trip, and our whole family had an amazing time. My sister caught her very first ocean fish, including her first shark, which made the day extra special. They were also kind enough to let my mom enjoy some dolphin watching and sightseeing, which she absolutely loved. From start to finish, it was a fun, relaxed experience for everyone, and a day we’ll all remember.

This trip had been on our bucket list for a long time, and Captain Craig and Mate Jacob delivered in every way. From the start, they were knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping us succeed. They walked us through the process, shared smart tips, and put us on fish we’ll be talking about for years. You can tell right away they love what they do and have spent decades honing their craft. That experience shows in how smoothly the day runs and how confident you feel on the water. We’re already planning to come back, and we wouldn’t book with anyone else. Whether it’s your first time offshore or you’re an experienced angler looking to sharpen your skills, this is a charter that truly stands out. And yes, that big Mangrove Snapper was incredible on the table.

Our trip with Captain Craig was exactly what we were hoping for. Thanks to his deep knowledge of the area, everyone in our group caught fish and stayed engaged the entire trip. We chose an inshore outing and couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. Captain Craig was prepared from start to finish, with quality gear, fresh bait, and a clear plan that kept the action steady. He was patient, helpful, and great at making sure everyone felt comfortable and confident. At the end of the trip, he cleaned our fish and even pointed us to a local restaurant that cooked our catch for us. After a full day on the water, sitting down to a fresh, cooked meal was the perfect way to wrap it up. It truly was an outstanding experience, and we highly recommend booking this charter.

Captain Craig and Spencer did an excellent job getting us on the fish and ensuring a fantastic time. We landed 8 different species and gained valuable knowledge about each one. The crew was incredibly attentive, especially with our 6-year-old. We highly recommend their services!

We had an incredible fishing experience with Captain Craig and Spencer. We caught plenty of red snappers and they were both friendly and punctual. The boat was fantastic, and they even cleaned the fish for us right after we finished fishing, which was a nice touch. My wife and three boys had an amazing time. Highly recommend fishing with this crew!

We initially booked an afternoon fishing trip to enjoy warmer temperatures for our family of 5. However, the night before the trip, we were informed that only morning slots were available. Despite the change, we managed to make it work. Although our guide arrived 10 minutes late, he was generally good and handled the windy and less-than-ideal conditions (40 degrees with wind) well. Our family's primary focus was on catching a quantity of fish rather than aiming for trophy catches. When the bites were not happening, our guide quickly adjusted the strategy by trying trolling and changing fishing locations. He made multiple attempts to overcome the chilly and breezy weather. In the end, we were satisfied with the number of fish we caught, which our guide kindly cleaned for us to enjoy as a family dinner. The boat was clean and in great condition. Our guide came prepared with a variety of bait options for the morning. He was a friendly individual who put in the effort to ensure we had a good experience.

Captain and crew took good care of my five-year-old on the trip. The boat ride to fishing areas was relaxing and offered my child security. We caught grouper, barracuda, and various other fish. The boat was clean and the equipment well-maintained. I would recommend this excursion to seasoned anglers or the nonfishing set.
