"By far the best offshore trip I have ever been on. If there is a rare deepwater fish you want to catch, Capt Anthony will do everything in his ability to get you that fish (granted they are in season). First drop of the day and we already caught a kitty mitchell!"

"GREAT TRIP! Captain Anthony provided the expertise and we had a huge day. We caught several different species of fish but targeted Red snapper and Red grouper. We left the dock at 7am and returned at 3pm. Brad, first mate, and Captain Anthony stayed busy all day making sure we were always baited up and assisted in boating our fish. I can't say enough about the attention they provided to our entire group. We limited out on some huge red snapper and after that, the captain navigated to the red grouper spots where we made quite a haul on the tough fighting red grouper. Several lane snapper and mangrove snapper were also included in the catch. Afterwards, the captain filleted our entire catch. Definitely will be there again to fish with the Captain who has "Figured it Out"!"

"Long overdue review with Capt Anthony! After several trips with Figure It out Charters I have come to the conclusion he is your best choice in filling your quotas of monster size Snapper and Grouper. Each charter out I’m amazed at the knowledge and experience both He and “Mike” the deck hand exhibits while while operating latest technologies and equipment on board his well kept vessel. Capt Anthony’s awareness of conditions of everyone on board makes this voyage the perfect charter for first time anglers a best choice! Already I’m planning to go again! Thanks again!"
