My cousins and I had a wonderful experience with Captain Anthony. The weather didnt allow us to go out in the gulf as far as we planned or as long as we planned, but Captain Anthony was willing to give it a shot as long as we stayed safe. After an hour, we decided to go to the bay, which was way calmer and absolutely beautiful. Captain Anthony is very knowledgeable and we all learned so much from him. We love supporting the local fisherman and we will be back with Captain Anthony on our next fishing trip:) It was also easy to prepare our fish that we caught for dinner that night. Captain cleaned and filleted our fish. Gave us tips on how to cook it and it was amazing. We cooked trout and red fish that night. Regret that I didnt take pics of the meal, but will next time. You’ll have a blast with So Salty Fishing Charters!

We had a great day catching with Captain Anthony! I say catching because it was more catching than fishing. Within 10 minutes of hitting our first spot we were on the fish. Captain Anthony was a great guide. He was very personable and extremely knowledgeable about the various species we caught while providing great guidance on how to get the most out of our experience.

We caught at least 40 fish (about 10 different types of fish) between 4 adults on our half day nearshore charter. We were able to keep 16 of the catch based on the size and what was in season. Captain Anthony even keep us out past out time to catch the coveted Hogfish. Thankfully it paid off and we landed a keeper.

He cleaned and bagged our keepers once we got back to the dock. We cooked them up that night and had the freshest most tasty fish dip and fish tacos I’ve ever had. We took home Hogfish, Mango Snapper, Grunts, and Mackerel.

Had a great time and Captain Anthony did a great job of explaining the trip as it unfolded and coached us well when needed. He definitely knew what he was doing and had spots to get the large fish as well as table fare. The best thing about this trip, and Captain Anthony, was that it was always about our experience. Never once did we feel it was a money-making affair for him. We arrived a little early and he said we could head on out. When the trip was about over I mentioned it was too bad we didn’t get a shark at the first stop and he said we could stop on the way back in and try again. We didn’t get the shark but ended up with a little extra unplanned time, which was greatly appreciated. You can tell Captain Anthony loves what he does and takes pleasure in making sure you enjoy your day as well. I highly recommend him and hope to book with him again next time we’re down this way.

Capt Anthony put my son and his two friends on a ton of fish in tough windy conditions!  They had a blast!!  Thanks again Capt Anthony!!!
