"Booked a Pulley Ridge run with Captain Frank and unfortunately the seas didn’t allow it so we moved straight into plan B. We went 100 miles out of Treasure Island where Captain Frank put us on the fish. From the first spot to the last one we put big fish in the box. I highly recommend the Skirt Chaser for any who takes fishing seriously. I’m already looking forward to the next one!!"

"We booked a four hour charter with Frank and it was fantastic. He reached out to us beforehand, and we changed the start time based on the winds and the forecast. We caught tons of fish and Frank was the ultimate captain. The boat was extremely comfortable, and we were very happy that there was a bathroom on board! Can’t wait to book another fishing trip with him."

"Capt. Frank took us out on 7/10/2025, for Red Snapper and boy he did not disappoint!! Hooked me up on my biggest Red Snapper to date!! Took the wife with me and was very helpful hooking her up on some giant fish. His vessel is in immaculate condition, fast and has all the equipment you need to catch any fish out there. Thank you again Captain Frank for a trip we won’t forget"

"Frank was the man. Worked crazy hard from first drop, was entertaining, fully engaged and his boat is KILLER for offshore. NOTHING worse than a boring captain and Frank had us laughing all day. Highly recommend if you want to run offshore and have a good time."

"Just wrapped up an 8 hr fishing trip with the Skirtchaser. Best charter I’ve been on, and I have done quite a few. Let me tell you how this one is different, first of all, the boat is cleaner than mine and I wash mine all the time. Second, the captain knows where the fish are going to be so you don’t wast time in dead spots. Finally he cleans the fish right at the dock and even has bags for the fish for you to take home. Like I’ve mentioned earlier, the overall trip is much more enjoyable in comparison to other charters I’ve been on. We will definitely be back again."
