    Captain Brody Fish stands out as the star of the show here, with multiple families booking him year after year and raving about his ability to find fish consistently while keeping everyone entertained. He's got an impressive memory for returning guests and clearly knows the waters inside and out. That said, you'll be in great hands with any of their captains. Aaron earns particular praise for his patience and skill with young kids, turning first-time saltwater fishing into unforgettable family memories. Josh and Kyle also get enthusiastic recommendations from repeat customers who've fished with them multiple times. The kids' charters are clearly a specialty worth noting. Parents consistently mention how the captains keep little ones engaged with jokes, close-up dolphin encounters, and steady action on the reels. Even families new to saltwater fishing report catching 30-50+ fish per trip, with captains who teach proper techniques and adapt to different experience levels. Several reviewers mention this was the highlight of their entire vacation, and the number of people booking second, third, and even eighth trips speaks volumes about the consistent quality you can expect.

    As a self proclaimed bass fishing expert, this is completely different! I am so used to setting hooks and ripping lips! Captain Brody Fish (pretty sure he changed his name when he turned 18) helped me and the kids learn a new way of fishing! “Just Reel!” 12 dozen shrimp 🦐 later and I finally got the hang of it! Definitely worth the trip out when in Destin, FL. Check out our quick Instagram video at onemorecast_official -Zach “Bass”
