Salty Adventures II Lifelong angler raised fishing the East Coast with family, I later spent 5 years in the USCG fishing Alaska’s remote waters for halibut, cod, and salmon.

After 5 years as a charter mate alongside my father, I’m now proud to captain my own charters.

Well, Mother Nature decided we needed a few more days off! 🎣

A cold front rolled through with 30+ knot winds, keeping us tied to the dock. Thankfully, things are settling down, and we’re getting back after it!

Here’s a look at one of our last trips before the weather threw another fit.

Josh and the guys came aboard ready to switch things up. After several offshore trips, they decided to try inshore fishing—and this time of year, they chose wisely!

We wasted no time. At our first stop, we landed a nice keeper redfish and put him on ice. After sorting through a few rat reds and releasing some fish, we added a solid mangrove snapper to the box before the bite slowed.

So, we changed gears and headed to some inshore structure.

That’s when the wrist workout began.

These Indiana boys proceeded to crank up well over 30 red snapper! The rods stayed bent, the forearms got a workout, and most of those snapper went right back where they came from. That didn’t slow down the fun one bit!

For a crew with zero inshore experience, these guys absolutely knocked it out of the park.

There’s nothing better than putting northern anglers on species they’ve never caught—especially fish that even some locals spend years trying to figure out!

Different waters, different tactics, same sore arms at the end of the day!

Another killer trip aboard Salty Adventures II! The wind has had its fun. Now it’s time to get back to putting fish in the boat!

Afternoon Recap 🎣

Emil and Sam came all the way down from Indiana for a father-son offshore showdown—and the Gulf Coast brought the heat! For having never been offshore, we made sure these boys got a taste of what the Gulf Coast has to offer.

They put a couple of “small” amberjack in the boat and went toe-to-toe with several absolute tanks. Rods were doubled over, drag was screaming, and a few reef donkeys got the best of us—but that’s what offshore battles are all about!

Big fights, missed giants, a few keepers and memories that’ll last a lifetime. Now that’s a father-son adventure!

HURRICANE SHMURRICANE! 🎣

A little bad weather wasn’t about to keep us off the fish forever!

Megan and the boys have been striking out trying to catch fish from land, so they decided to switch things up and hop aboard Salty Adventures II this morning. And BOY, did they make up for lost time!

We put a hurting on ’em right out of the gate! Probably 15 rat reds and just as many, if not MORE, red snapper made their way over the rail this morning. The fish might not have all been big enough for the dinner table, but they sure as hell made up for it in numbers!

Not a bad way to break the post-storm fishing drought!

That wraps up our inshore morning, but we’re not done yet. Heading OFFSHORE this afternoon to see what kind of trouble we can get into out in the Gulf!

One trip down, another one to go. Let’s see what the afternoon brings!

Hurricane Isaias has had us sitting on the sidelines the last few days but we are back at it tomorrow! Here’s a little pre-storm catch for your feed.

These folks came aboard with one mission: REDFISH. And wouldn’t you know it, we found exactly what they were looking for at the very first stop of the day!

No running all over the bay, no searching high and low. Just getting on the fish and getting to work!

Not a bad way to squeeze in some fishing before the weather went sideways!

Now we’ve got some fishing to catch up on, book your next charter with Salty Adventures II!

FOUR HOURS. DINNER SECURED. 🎣

The Walkers came out for a quick four-hour trip today and got right to work putting fish in the box.

Keeper redfish.�Keeper red snapper in the bay.
And a few mangroves.

Not bad for four hours on the water. We put together a hell of a box and made every minute count.

Good stuff today with the Walkers! 🎣

Day off? I don’t think so, we still got some “fishing” done today.

Got gallons of baits cast netted, brined up, and packed today while I had some downtime. They’re ready to go whenever we get back after it tomorrow.

While I was sitting around doing important bait-science stuff, the new Salty Adventures II business cards showed up. Pretty damn happy with how these turned out.

The fish clocked in late with a serious case of the Monday blues yesterday.

Six hours, six passengers, and a pretty simple mission: have fun, catch some dinner, and enjoy an absolutely beautiful day on the water.

The fishing started off SLOW. We picked through smaller fish looking for keepers while watching big amberjacks and cudas absolutely terrorize everything around us… except our baits, of course.

After bouncing around a few spots, we finally found one that wanted to cooperate. Two big red snapper, two nice keeper triggers, and a handful of vermillion all made their way into the box. Not a bad way to finish out the day!

Good people, good fishing, a beautiful day on the Gulf, and enough dinner to make the ride home pretty satisfying.

I’d say we got those Monday blues worked out pretty good.

They know how to fish the California coast… but yesterday, these Texas boys got their first taste of what the Gulf can do!

We got to work right away and picked up this nice solo mahi along the way, put a couple solid red snapper in the box, and finished up with a box full of some fat vermilion to go along with. They also reeled in about half a dozen hard-fighting bonita on the troll.

They were after one of those big Gulf amberjack, and we gave it hell trying to pull one up, but just couldn’t make it happen yesterday.

No big amberjack, but we got it done and put together a damn good first Gulf trip for these boys. See y'all next year!

The forbidden Kool-Aid was flowing yesterday, and Mike and Everette were putting some beautiful keepers in the box!

Mike kicked things off with this absolute tank of an amberjack. Like clockwork, we hear the thud of a big fish hitting the deck, and almost immediately I hear, “That’s the biggest fish I’ve ever caught in my life!”

Man, that never gets old. Hearing that from a customer right after they land a fish like this is one of the coolest parts of being a captain.

A hell of a PB and definitely one worth putting on the wall. After taking some measurements and pictures, this one is headed to the taxidermist!

By the power vested in me, I now pronounce them officially hooked for life! ❤️

Nathan and Taylor just recently got married, and instead of spending their entire honeymoon sitting on the beach or fishing from the pier like they normally do, they decided to spend part of it on the water with us for their first-ever fishing charter.

Judging by those shirts, they came prepared to get “Hooked for Life” — and I’d say they nailed it!

They put some serious fish on the deck, including this nearly 37-inch red snapper and an absolute whopper of a barracuda and a two man limit of fat mingos to go along with. When that red snapper hit the deck all I heard was, “now that’s the biggest fish I’ve ever caught!” Not a bad way to start a lifetime of adventures together!

Congratulations again, Nathan & Taylor! It was an absolute pleasure having you guys aboard and being able to make part of your honeymoon special! I hope this is just the beginning of many more fishing adventures together.
