Wolfmouth Charters

I have enjoyed a number of charter boats in Florida, but this one is by far the worst experience I have ever had. The day started out by getting yelled at by the captain the second he pulled up because our shoes had sand on them and he didn’t want them to dirty his «boat». Two things: 1) it’s Florida… there’s going to be sand on everything 2) his boat was nothing more than a wooden hull with a lousy motor attached that barely worked. I felt like the thing was more likely to sink than find us fish. After we were allowed on the boat we were greeted by the captain’s hybrid wolf dog (like a legit wolf dog) which wasn’t allowed to be touched but took up half the boat, so maneuvering the deck was very dangerous. The captain did not have any tackle so we had to waste time picking that up, then spent hours fishing peoples’ docks rather than actually deep sea fishing. We were screamed at by the captain constantly and were treated like children (imagine fishing with your dad when you’re seven). At one point I asked to use the bathroom and was told to pee off the side of the boat (my future mother in law was with us so I wasn’t too inclined to do that). I finally negotiated my way to the bathroom and experienced something similar to what I can only imagine prison inmates use on a daily basis. After being mocked and yelled at for another hour we finally called it a day and headed back to shore. The final straw was when the captain followed us off the boat looking for a tip. A tip… after the worst fishing experience I have ever had. He is unreal. I highly recommend you look elsewhere for a charter boat as this one is the bottom of the barrel.

We had a wonderful trip. Captain Wayne was delightful. He showed us points of interest and introduced me to a manatee. My boyfriend, never caught so many red snapper in his life. I can highly recommend this trip.

Let me start off by saying that I never take the time to write reviews unless the experience was exceptional. In this case, the complete opposite is true. The other reviews capture the experience quite well that you can expect to have with Captain Wayne and Wolfsmouth Charter. On a 6 hour trip, we caught less than a handful of fish. Perhaps that is because the favorite fishing grounds were right off of people’s private docks and not exactly where you would expect the type of fish you want to bring back from a «deep sea fishing trip.» Quite honestly, there are two things you expect from this type of trip – either a good time or a lot of fish; both would be great! I can say that myself and the other people in my fishing party did not acheive either of those goals. Not only did we not catch any fish, but we also got yelled at by the Captain quite a bit. A note to the Captain… if you continue to yell the same thing over and over, that does not mean that anyone will understand you any better. perhaps taking the time to explain important nuances of the area you are fishing before the trip would be beneficial. Also, how about we actually stock up on bait before we go out to the water? That way we can spend more time actually trying to catch the fish that we paid to come out here to catch rather than «taking turns» to try and catch unimpressive fish. I could go on and on about the things that went wrong on this trip but I will say the one thing that we took from the trip was an interesting car ride home comparing our less than excpetional opinions of our experience out with Wolfsmouth charters.

There are many boats to choose from in this area, and this one is below average. Aside from the beat-​up boat and less-​than-​customer-​friendly attitude of the captain, we ran out of tackle on this trip. Often times, we’d be in need of bait or tackle while he fielded phone calls. He seemed agitated at the younger fishermen on our trip. He’s a little cheaper than some, and not quite worth it. I’d recommend Captain Josh, as our experience with him was a complete pleasure.
