    Best trip we have had!

    5 Hour Trip – Nearshore Mahi Mahi on August 1, 2024 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Our first fishing trip, but definitely not the last, with Captain Chris and Ben was better than expected! He put us right on the fish and kept us on them the whole trip! He was great with our grandson and made his wish of catching mahi come true. They were very kind, respectful and informative letting us know what to expect and delivered a trip we will not soon forget! We can’t say enough good things about Captain Chris and Ben. You will not be disappointed!

    Capt. Brice was great!

    6 Hour Trip – Tripletail Fishing on June 7, 2024 • 3 adults

    Captain Brice worked very hard to find the Tripletail for us. They were super slow the week we went but we were lucky along with his persistence in getting us to the spots. It was our first experience and we had a great time. We cooked some up when we got home and.. man were they delicious! Thanks Captain Brice and your Wakulla man helper(sorry don’t remember his name) but we gonna bring him a hair clip next time..lol. 😊

    6hr triple tail trip

    6 Hour Trip – Tripletail Fishing on July 15, 2023 • 2 adults

    By far the BEST captain I've ever fished with. Knowledgeable, quick and efficient, we had a snotty, nasty day and he kept us dry and fishing. We loaded up on Triple Tail and then chased redfish for a few hours. Planning my next trip ASAP.

    Spent the day with Capt Trent

    6 Hour Trip – Tripletail Fishing on June 4, 2023 • 2 adults

    Capt Trent put my wife and myself on some really nice fish. We made short work of the triple tail. Four keepers In the first hour on the water. They ranged from 19 to 27 inches. Thanks for the great day.

    3/4 Day Tripletail

    6 Hour Trip – Tripletail Fishing on July 21, 2022 • 4 adults • 1 child

    We had Brice for a Captain and he was great. Took time to show my nephew how to cast and although the fishing was a little slow he kept us cheerful that we would find them and we did. We called it early due to weather but we were more than happy with the time spent on the water with Brice and look forward to our next excursion.

    Mahi trip, get the limit with Williamson Outdoor

    6 Hour Trip – Tripletail Fishing on July 22, 2022 • 4 adults

    Great trip. Chris and Brice Williamson were professionals in every sense. Even on a marginal day they knew what to do and were willing to do what was needed to get a limit of Mahi. IF you can book them in Apalachicola, St Joe, do it!
