I’ve been on a ton of charter fishing trips and this was by far my best experience. Dusty was very professional and knowledgeable. It was my sons first trip and he made sure that my son learned a-lot about the sport of fishing and had a good time. It will be a trip that my son and I will remember forever. We couldn’t have asked for a better captain. On top of that, we caught a ton of fish. We were able to reel in a lot of fish that I’ve never caught before from a sail fish to a massive nurse shark. Thank you Dusty, we will definitely be calling you for all our charters going forward!

Highly recommend. Captain Dusty is very knowledgeable in all aspects of saltwater fishing. Like the charter name, he is laid back, patient with kids and new fisherman and ready to get after big ones with pros. Can't go wrong fishing with Laid Back charters.

We have been out with Dusty 3 times now. I so enjoy watching my husband and son’s thrill of catching a big one and Dusty sure knows where the fish are! He is also a very knowledgeable captain who helped me get through my first time experiencing motion sickness. He knew exactly what to do so I didn’t get sick. Now I make sure to take some before going. I highly recommend it!
