I do not normally do reviews but our fishing trip with Big Fish Charters was truly exceptional. The boat was a 22 – 25 foot T-top center console boat. It was a lot smaller than we expected so the hour ride to our fishing spot was a littler nerve wrecking. That was no fault to our captain; he did an excellent job getting us to our destinations. My group was full of first time deep-sea anglers and it was my second time. Once we got to a spot to fish, just like all the other reviews the fish were biting! We caught over 20 sea bass, a baby grouper, 2 toadfish, and a ruby red lip. We were only able to keep a hand full of the sea bass because the rest did not meet the size requirement to keep. Our catches of the day were the 30lb cobia and the 25lb barracuda we were to keep those as well. The captain of our boat was knowledgeable, fun, good teacher for the newbies, and he ultimately let you fish! All the fish we caught was fillet and bagged by the captain at no extra cost. My only suggestion for people reading this is if you plan to use Big Fish Charters, just plan to fish! Do not worry about bringing cases of beer and sandwiches and think you will have enough room to do all that and fish. You will be more concerned with fishing and keeping your balance when you got a big fish at the end of your rod than eating and drinking. I would definitely use Big Fish Charters again if I were in the Tybee Island area.

What a great day with Captain Nick! Nick had us fishing the best spots, about 20 miles off shore. The fish would hit the moment when we dropped our lines in. The captain was very knowledgable in the local species. We caught the elusive, extinct Redfish which we released. We landed Triggerfish, Porgies and Black Sea Bass. Our prize catch of the day was a tagged Sand Bar Shark. It sure put up one heck of a fight. We kept pulling in fish, filled up the fish well and headed in. Upon arrival at the dock Nick cleaned and filleted the fish for us. We ate the spoils of the day prepared by Cocos, next to the docks. Nothing is as good as a fresh fish feast. A fantastic day was had by all. Thanks Captain Nick!!! We will visit you again.

The most fun I have had out on the Atlantic, and the perfect excuse you need for an excursion to Tybee Island: a charter tour with Big Fish Charters. Captain Nick knows his stuff: the ride is comfortable, and he was able to navigate where the fish were biting! He makes you feel like a champion fisher, whatever your level of fishing expertise may be.
