Could not have asked for a better fishing 🎣 experience. This was my husband and I first Ocean fishing 🎣 experience. Captain Connor had us up and fishing 🎣 quickly with his instruction, he was great, kept our bait coming, helped us with casting and made sure we understood how the Sheep head fish took the line so we would know how the line felt and we could hook and reel in. 🐟 We had a good haul of fish. We had a great time, Great Captain, Singing Captain too😄with good tunes. Thank you

Captain Connor is a great guide.He gave us an option to fish for a targeted species. When that turned off due to the tide, he offered us another species and did his best to put us on some fish. He worked fast and hard to mke sure the fish came off the line and bait was on the hook. After the catch, he took care of the cleaning and gave us an excellent recommendation for a "You catch it, we'll cook it". Excellent service and hospitality from this captain. Next time in the area, I will definitely book another trip with him.
I had a friend coming in from the midwest and I asked if we could try to put him on redfish, we had a ton of luck and caught Bull Reds, Sheepshead, Drum and Spanish Mackrel. We had a jack and shark break off but it wasnt great conditions but Captain Connor worked his ass off to get us on fish and absoltuely did. Ill be booking with him again for sure.
Captain Conor is by far one the best, if not the best family friendly captain to charter. I had a charter with him last year when i took my 4 year old nephew fishing and he made it the best charter for us. we loved it so much that I took my nieces this gone weekend. the weather wasn’t the best but he went out of his way to make sure we had a great time. we caught more fish than we thought we would ever catch. the kids want to go back again soon but only if it’s with him. he’s a great person and an even better captain who enjoys and knows what he’s doing. if you have a chance to book with him, consider yourself lucky because you’ll have the trip of your life.
I cannot say it enough- Captain Connor is absolutely amazing! We have fished with him before and both times had a great experience. This trip we took my mother and 6-year-old daughter. She had the best time. Connor took care of us like family. He constantly made sure we had bait and cast out the line. He also taught us the technique to hook the fish. He was able to explain it easily-my daughter caught many fish. He knew all the good fishing spots and kept us in the loop of the plan. We kept 6 fish that were legal size but probably caught 25-30 total. We lost count. I actually got a blister from reeling in so many fish. By far a good battle wound and story. We caught red fish, flounder, black drum, sheep head, and some others. Connor is easy to get along with and very professional. I highly recommend booking with him. We will continue to fish with him when we visit the coast.
Such a great trip! My wife booked this charter for my birthday, and it was the perfect way to spend the day with a few of my buddies. We caught white trout all day and had an awesome time. The captain knew exactly where to put us on the fish and made the whole experience fun and easy. Couldn’t have asked for a better birthday. Highly recommend!
Captain Connor was very knowledgable about where to fish, how to fish and put us on the fish. We caught 2 redfish, several catfish and white trout, 2 sharks and a flounder. we caught 58 fish. Be was very outgoing and funny. A great trip. I highly reccommend Captain Connor and Backyard Charters. W e will definetly be back.
I went by myself with him. I told him I don’t care. Let’s just go catch some fish. Literally for an hour he would hand me a baited pole after I reel one in. I never had time to bait a hook, We were catching so many fish. His new nickname is “Dad.” I may have accidentally stabbed him with a catfish.

We caught and kept sheep head puppy drum and a flounder. Caught reds but just under the size to keep!
captain Conner was a excellent guide. he was very knowledgeable of how to catch fish. we caught a limit of redfish and some mangrove snapper. I would recommend captain Conner for anyone wanting to have a good time.

My husband and i went with some friends. We went on the 7:30 am trip. we had a rough start actually catching fish (which wasnt captain connors fault what so ever, those fish were finiky) but towards the end we were pulling them in every other rip. Captain Connor was by far the best captain we have had on any charter or trip. He made the trip so much fun, very amusing, and just overall a great time! We will be doing this again soon!
