My 9-year-old daughter, my father-in-law, and I went out on a 9:30 AM charter, and I can confidently say this was an outstanding experience from start to finish. As an experienced fisherman, I highly recommend booking this charter.
We were actually able to book last minute after another guide I had scheduled months in advance canceled due to an electrical issue—so right from the beginning, Captain Braden saved the day. That alone set the tone, but the trip only got better from there.
Captain Braden was incredibly prepared, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He consistently put us on fish and made sure my daughter was engaged and having a great time the entire trip. We ended up catching around 20 fish and keeping 13, including white trout, Gulf kingfish, a red snapper, and several others.
What really stood out was his adaptability. When the bite slowed early on, he didn’t hesitate—he kept us moving, trying new spots and strategies so we were never sitting around waiting. His effort and determination made a huge difference.
This was my first time taking my daughter on a charter, and as soon as we got in the car afterward, the first thing she said was, “Daddy, that was so much fun.” That says everything.
Captain Braden—thank you for the great fishing, the knowledge you shared, and most importantly, the memories we’ll never forget. We’ll absolutely be back.

1st off, the trip was after Thanksgiving, and weather took a turn… Captin called early and asked if we wanted to move trip back a few hours to see if weather would get better so we did. The temperature got better but wind did not. Captin took us to a spot that wasn’t his 1st choice but stated we could catch some fish to start off. We fished a few minutes and didn’t get the fish we wanted. We proceeded to move a little farther down (away from another boat who moved in on us) and then caught some nice sand trout. After some fun action we moved to try for some other type of fish. We hooked into bigger fish and it was awesome. Captain was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a blast, especially for conditions. We may return in twice over the next 3 months for other trips. This group is knowledgeable and professional.

As locals we like to take our friends fishing when they visit, this was the best trip by far. The kids were apprehensive at first but Captain Brandon made them feel relaxed. They could not stop talking about how they loved the trip and can’t wait to go again. the adults had a blast as well because we were abke to relax since the kids were having so much fun! Captain Brandon stayed a littke extra so we could watch the pod of dolphins that were playing nearby. Overall one of the best experiences taking kids out on the water.

Captain Corey and his first mate, Max, were great. The date initially planned was bad weather and Corey was flexible and picked a better day to go out during the week. Knowledgeable and interesting discussions and a really good experience. we caught several fish and had fun while doing it. I’d recommend WahooDat to anyone. ill book them again.

He knew where to go to get fish. It was the off season but we caught about 15 or 16 fish. We worked a rocky area hard for sheeps head but only got one on and didn’t get it to the boat. Then we moved to a dock area so the kids could get some catches. We got in a school of sea trout. We caught a few throw backs but brought a good mess home for dinner.
