Great day of fishing for a wide range of fishing experience! - My family and I had a great experience with Gavin Shores during a full day on the water. Gavin was very knowledgeable with both the water conditions and species we were after. He was also helpful and patient with the wide range of fishing skill levels we had on our boat. We caught 50+ fish during the day, and were able to take home plenty of fresh fillets for a tasty seafood dinner that evening. With Gavin’s professionalism, personality and ability to adapt to the experience level of the people on his boat, I would rightly recommend his charter if you’re looking for a fun day on the water!

GREAT experience ... and we CAUGHT fish! - We did a half day, inshore fishing trip with Gavin. It was our first inshore charter and we were so surprised how much we enjoyed it. Gavin is extremely knowledgeable, and professional. If you are looking for an inshore fishing trip or a guided scallop trip, we would 100% recommend contacting Gavin!

Returned for a second time! Capt. Gavin doesn’t disappoint!!! - This was our second time out with Capt. Gavin. Always a great time. Had family come and visit us and Gavin showed them an awesome time. We caught some lots of fish and focused on different types depending on the tides, weather and location. The fish fry later that night was almost as good as catching earlier that day. We’ll be back again, and again, and again.

My First Fishing Trip in The Gulf of Mexico 2022 - My Brother Burt and I had a Fishing Trip in April of this year with Captain Gavin Shores into The Gulf of Mexico which I had never been. It was the best adventure I could have asked for. The ride in the boat out there was absolutely amazing with his tour knowledge of everything we passed on the way out to the Gulf. From explaining “Monkey Island” to “Bird Island”, etc. and the beautiful scenery and homes along the way out there and in. Captain Gavin was very knowledgeable and we could not have asked for anyone better to have given us this wonderful adventure. The Gulf was beautiful. I would do this all over again. Thank you again Captain Gavin, The Best Captain I’ve ever met and the friendliest and yes I will definitely be back. A definite trip everyone should have the opportunity to experience
