Samantha Simpson5.0VerifiedFun Experience
4 – hr Trip – Trolling - 12:00 PM on July 15, 2026 • 10 adults • 2 childrenWe had a fun day on the water! It was half of our groups first time to go deep sea fishing and second time for the other half. I got the time wrong and we were an hour late. The captain was very nice and understanding about that. We were able to keep 10 fish, some were out of season or we would of had more. The boat was the perfect size for our group of 10!
Steven Lund5.0VerifiedGreat trip and lots of fish!!
5 Hour – Bottom Fishing Trip - 6:00 AM on June 10, 2026 • 7 adultsCaptain Phillip and Jason did a great job handling our group of 7. Everyone caught multiple fish and we almost caught our daily limit of Red Snapper. Everyone in our party had a great experience and we would definitely recommend booking your charter with Captain Phillip and Backdown 2.

5 Hour – Bottom Fishing Trip on June 27, 2026 • 7 adultsOnly went for a 6 hour trip and these guys didnt disappoint! We got on some good snapper, mahi, and even picked up a nice Cobia! Jason, the deckhand , was exceptional and was a key player in helping land the big Cobia. I highly recommend these guys!
