Great trip on the water — we caught well over our limit but could only keep 11 since the rest were either undersized or oversized. Randy is an excellent captain and even took a moment to let us watch the dolphins. Highly recommend booking him for your next skinny-water fishing trip.

Randy was outstanding. Even with a tough bite, he still put us on three limits of trout. He was patient with my two boys and went out of his way to teach them how to catch fish. Great experience all around.

My buddy and I had a great time fishing with Captain Randy on our half-day trip. He was upfront, knowledgeable, and genuinely enjoyable to spend the morning with. He told us the bite would be early, so we got up ahead of schedule and were on fish within minutes. We limited out fast, then spent the rest of the morning culling and hoping for a redfish bite. Picked up a few more solid trout before wrapping up around 10:30. Outstanding trip — we’ll be booking with Randy again for sure.

We limited out on trout in no time, and even picked up a couple of reds when no one else around us was hooking up. Captain Randy put us on fish right from the start. He was fun to be around, professional, and clearly knows his stuff. We’re already looking forward to fishing with him again next year.

Fishing with Randy was a blast. Randy was professional, timely, knowledgeable, and put us on the fish! He was wonderful to fish with, has a great personality, taught us a new way to fish, and was just a pleasant guide to go fishing with. He knew about everything coastal fishing, and was happy to answer all of our questions. We caught our limit. Boat was clean and orderly, equipment was great, and he knew numerous spots that held fish for us to try and catch. Will definitely go with Randy again!

I took my graduating grandson on a morning fishing excursion. Weather was a bit questionable but the experience was great! Thanks to Randy’s knowledge of the area we were able to find a spot yielding several nice slot Speeckled Trout. (They were extremely tasty!). We had to cut short the trip as the storms closed in, (with lightning strikes approaching), but a great morning none the less. Kudos to Randy for his knowledge in locating fish.

We had a great trip with Randy. We were very fortunate to limit out the entire boat of 4 guys with a redfish haul incl. one oversized red. Randy was prepared for our group and very knowledgeable about local spots and fishing conditions. We were very fortunate to have great fishing conditions and immediately be pulling in fish. That’s not always the case on fishing trips since there are many factors that go into a successful trip. Randy was a superb captain and I would highly recommend him and will definitely book a return trip.

Captain is super friendly and very helpful. Fishing was kind of slow but capt. Seidel knew what he was doing and took us to several different spots after a few minutes of no bites. Highly recommend!

Experience: 5.0 / 5 Boat 5.0 / 5 Crew 5.0 / 5 Overall Fun day with my dad and daughter VERIFIED Half Day Trip (AM) on June 27, 2023 We had a great trip. Fishing was slow for literally everyone on the water that day. But we still managed to catch enough to ensure my 7 y/o had a great time. That plus the dolphins that followed us around were a highlight for her. My dad and I are both avid fisherman, and Randy kept us on the action. No reds unfortunately but the water level was so low that’s nobodies fault. My daughter has a shellfish allergy and early on in the trip it looked like she had some inadvertent contact with the bait. Randy was all over it, and once he realized I was a physician it was all good. She has a minor reaction, cleaned off her hands and face and it was totally fine. Honestly, I’ve fished all over the world and have to say Randy was awesome. Will definitely be hitting him up again next year when i come back to port A for our yearly family beach vacation. Thanks Randy. We had a blast.

This is the guy to use for results! Had the waters and weather been better, would’ve had even better results. But caught my limit and was happy

It was a rough day for fishing but Captain Randy did his best to put us on some fish. We had 3 little boys that did catch some no keepers and saw some dolphins and a stingray. We enjoyed our time on the water with Captain Randy and our boys. This will be 4 hours these 2 dads will never forget. This is what fishing is all about. It’s not always the fish you bring home, it’s the memories that were made, and for our sons first experience we were happy to have it with Captain Randy. Thank you sir for a great morning!
