Our Clients Say
“We really enjoyed our recent fishing trip with you, you do a great job of making all of the group comfortable, and fully involved…Your new boat is great, very comfortable and very conducive to great fishing–I’m looking forward to fishing with you many more times. Tight lines and screaming reels.”
“Accommodating us with trolling and shallow water was great in itself let alone taking the extra time to try for the Cobias. My mother-in-law and the rest of the group are still talking about it. Hooking my first billfish was awesome and a double header with my wife made it that [much] more special. Like I told you before, whenever I get the chance to fish out of Key West, you will be my first call and I’ll recommend you to anyone I know going down there.”
“Just wanted to drop you guys a line and thank you again for a great day out on the water. You guys totally surpassed my expectations. I was a little nervous about how the day was going to go and what we would catch being the cost of a 3/4 day trip, but I would not hesitate to do it again every time I’m in Key West. You and Heath are a real class act and make a great team and will book again in the future. Thanks!”
“Just a quick note to let you all know that we had a great outing. I was on Southpaw with Captain Brad & 1st mate Heath. Not only were these guys friendly & jovial but their professionalism was clearly evident in the level of preparedness of tackle, bait & boat! All day long they put forth the effort to make sure we had a great time and to give us every opportunity to catch fish. I’ve been on enough charters with other outfits to know that Team Southpaw ranks at the high end of high!”
