We had a fantastic trip with Phil. We launched as soon as we arrived and where fishing in about 45…read moreminutes. I took out myself and four teenage kids on this trip. We stopped to pick up bait out of his pods and saw several sharks swarming around the bait site. These were pretty good sized sharks I will add. It was pretty cool to see. Check out my video! After we collected our bait we headed out. We had to go out to federal waters to fish so we went 10 miles off shore I believe. The first spot we stopped in there were a pod of dolphins hanging out seemingly waiting for us to bring them some fish up for them. Phil said that "this is the worst thing that could happen to us" so we left that area and headed to another. Phil took time to explain what to do to the kids and made sure they were taken care of with bait first. I appreciated his attention to detail and his witty banter with them. When we got to the new spot, he baited us all up and had us all drop to the bottom at the same time. It wasn't two minutes before we were catching fish. One after another we started reeling them up. As we were bringing them up, two of us had sharks come and snatch our catches off of the line. We then bailed on that spot because of the sharks. Arrived at another spot and had the same luck. It's like this man knows exactly where to drop bait to reel up fish fast. Every spot we visited was like this. Phil even communicated with another Captain about the luck we were having and he headed over to our spot to fish. He seemed to appreciate the help and in no time his group was catching fish. They didn't seem to have much luck until Phil called him over. We then moved to a spot to catch Amberjack. We caught a few but they were too small to keep. We caught our limit of Red Snapper after throwing several back, landed a big triggerfish we had to release due to season being over, and caught a few other random fish as well. All in all it was a fantastic trip! Phil and his wife cleaned and cut the fish into nice fillets for us once we hit the beach. What a haul!!! ***HEADS UP*** Here is a note about Greyton Beach though. Sharks are really close to the beach. In fact, as we were pulling up to get on the trailer we saw a 5 ft shark swimming between a group of beach goers. They were completely oblivious to it. It was literally in 3-4 ft deep water probably 20 yards from shore. I feel like the bait traps just off the beach are really attracting them to this area. So come to fish but swim elsewhere. No one wants to be shark food yo!!!

Capt Mark was extremely professional and so entertaining! Having his first mate, and better half, Kayla, joining us rounded out our trip with fun stories, advice on fishing, and sheer fun to be around. Mark's philosophy on fishing and stalking the fish was unparalleled! We caught King Mackerel, Grouper, and Red Snapper. Then as we were heading in, Mark spotted a ton of Bonitas feeding and had to stop to try and catch one. He showed me where to throw my line and on my first cast I landed one immediately! THE most fun fish to bring in on light tackle!!! I could go on and on about our trip, but there just isn't enough time in the day! Book your trip with Capt Mark and 30A Light Tackle for the best day of fishing and entertainment!!!

The owner of this company is awful. I didn't even use his service, however, as my family and myself…read morewere coming to the beach, being from out of town, we had no idea that vehicle access on this specific beach needed a permit. I specifically spoke to multiple people already with the county to confirm that no permit was needed and I was informed that it was a public beach access. Instead of this owner being gracious and polite to tourist he proceeded to yell at me asking me where my permit was and as I explained that I already asked that question and was told it was not necessary he just immediately start saying "bye, get out of here, turn around, bye". Oh and by the way I am a disabled veteran and this was all done on Fourth of July. Oh and by the way this was all done in front of my family and two little kids. I hope this review brings some insight that maybe not everybody is aware of the local rules and policies and to be a little more gracious as human beings. Not a good look when representing a company.

He cleaned the fish when we were done and recommended Grayton Seafood as a place to prepare it. Overall, it was such a great day for our family!
