Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours) on October 14, 2026 • 4 adultsHad a great day out with captain Spencer, his knowledge is unbelievable and his effort and willingness to give you the best day is fantastic. I highly recommend Absolut fishing charters. we landed several fish but the 40 lb red drum was the highlight
Suzanne Armor5.0VerifiedSuch a great trip!
Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours) on August 12, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childCaptain Spencer took me and my two sons out for red drum. It was our first time fishing salt water and he was so patient and thoughtful in teaching my boys what to do. Despite less than ideal red drum fishing conditions, we caught a 34-inch red drum and a few skates. It was a really fun experience, and Captain Spencer is so personable and kind. The boat is clean and well-stocked. Highly recommend.
Brandon DropRepeat angler5.0VerifiedWe had a blast! 100% Reccomend
Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours) on July 10, 2026 • 4 adultsWe did a morning trip with Capt Spencer and went for bluefish and redfish. Capt Spencer was extremely personable and knowlegeable. He explained everything to us and taught us a ton. He also put us on the fish. We caught 12 bluefish and a couple sting rays. The blue fish were very fun to catch! 100% would recommend this charter to anyone. Thanks Absolut Charters!

Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours) on September 2, 2026 • 4 adultswe had a grrat half day with captn Spencer. He was awesome, 3 of us caught red drum over 42 inches within 20 minutes of our trip, and caught another just over keeper size, at the end of the trip we went outside of the inlet and caught some spanish mackerel to cook for dinner. It was a great day!
Laurent PetitRepeat angler4.7VerifiedAnother Great Day with Captain Spencer
Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours) - 11:00 AM on July 14, 2026 • 2 adultsThis was our second trip with Captain Spencer, and once again, my son and I had an awesome time! Spencer is a true professional, super friendly, and his knowledge of the local waters really made the difference. He never gave up, and his persistence paid off when we landed an incredible red drum! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks again, Spencer. We’ll definitely fish with you again!

Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours) - 3:30 PM on June 11, 2026 • 4 adultsOur experience from the start was great, from booking it, the call the day before to ask about customizing our experience, to the day of Jed and Spencer made sure that our fishing charter was all set and ready to go for us. Spencer was amazing with our teenagers and we had a great time!

Half Day Inshore Charter (4 hours) on June 10, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childHad a great day, caught quite a few fish…huge reds, big speckled trout, and big blues with my son and some friends. Captain Spencer was very informative, knowledgeable, entertaining and worked hard to put us on some fish. Can’t thank him enough. Will definitely be going back out with him.

Booked this trip after hearing how hot the Drum fishing was. Captain Spencer was awesome actually changed our date to the next day for better wind conditions.However the next day was the same, he said we would never see the sound so calm. We didn't catch any drum. we did catch 16 trout only 1 was a keeper which was released so we came in with no fish. I know it's called fishing instead of catching. The one thing I didn't get was all my previous charters the Captain would search until he was marking fish. This trip was going to previous spots with no mention of marking fish.
Captain Spencer was great! We hit a few spots and caught our first Red Drum about 30 minutes into the trip. We even had 2 fish on at the same time and hooked a couple of bluefish too. Everyone in our group ended up catching fish. I would definitely recommend an afternoon/evening trip. The fish were biting at the end of the day and we had a beautiful sunset to close out the trip as we returned to the inlet. We'll definitely be booking with Absolut again in the future!
The weather didn’t play in our favor unfortunatley… But boat captain Spencer was game to still take us! We fought the weather for the first part of our trip but luckily it cleared up later. Spencer was knowledgable, personable, and fun! We all had a good time lots of laughs and caught some fish too! All his gear was in great shape and top of the line. Boat is super clean and in great shape!I am already trying to decide if I should book one more outting with him before we leave.
Our fishing charter was hands down the highlight of our vacation. Captain Spence was professional, friendly, and worked hard from the moment we left the dock to make sure everyone had a great experience. He put us on fish quickly, kept the lines baited, and shared plenty of knowledge about the area and the fish we were targeting. The equipment was top-notch, the boat was clean and comfortable, and it was clear he wanted me and my 3 boys to succeed.
Had a great day out with captain Spencer, his knowledge is unbelievable and his effort and willingness to give you the best day is fantastic. I highly recommend Absolut fishing charters. we landed several fish but the 40 lb red drum was the highlight
