Booked 2 charter's through Salty Dog over Labor Day Weekend 2020 and fished 2 days with Capt. Gabe.
This time of year is normally tough fishing but he fished the way we wanted to fish just for Redfish and we caught boat limits both days.
Could not have been a better time for us.
I would book again next weekend if I could.

The communication and coordination with the captains were great. This is strictly a fishing trip and you will focus on fishing. The captains aren’t going to answer tour style questions, like what’s this or what’s that. You will catch a lot of fish and they will filet them for you to take home. Make sure you bring a decent size cooler. If you never ocean fish before, be prepared to get a workout in. It’s super fun but can be tiring.

If I could I would leave Salty Dog Charters an 11/10. Capt. Rory was fantastic. He was very friendly, knew the right spots to be, filleted our catch, and recommended a great restaurant to bring our catch for a phenomenal meal.

Rory was amazing. We had a great time and learned so much about the Gulf area. The redfish fought hard and bit often. Catching halibut, drum, sheepshead and even stingrays in one spot was incredible, all while being surrounded by a porpoise pod for hours.
Boat was comfortable and had everything you can need. Highly recommended.

Capt Eric Olsen is the best! He was such a fun, informative and great guide! He put us right on the money for the red fish and he loves to joke around! He made us laugh the entire trip and made the 3 of us veterans feel very welcomed and appreciated for what we do. 110% would go back to this service and pick him!!!

Our trip was amazing! Captain Gabe with Salty Dogs did an awesome job of taking us to the hot fishing spots and was so patient in showing us the proper way to reel them in. Would absolutely recommend to anyone wanting to take a charter out to fish!

Captain Rory was all about getting us on fish! My son and I have fished for collectively over 30 years in shore and off shore and this trip was one of the best! Caught so many we kept fishing and just released fish. Captain Rory didn’t even try to cut the trip short just because we were done with keeping the catch! Great day and will be back!!

Annually, a friend and I meet up and take a fishing trip around the US. One of us came from DC, one from Texas. With far distances traveled, we expected we would have an excellent experience. Captain Eric came no where close to disappointing. Captain Eric showed pure professionalism and a huge amount of knowledge. Captain Eric is from this area and knows the waters like the back of his hand. While fishing with him, wind and multiple rain clouds surrounded us, hindering fishing to the average fisherman. We requested to continue fishing! Captain Eric, despite battling somewhat tough elements, put us right on the fish. We caught red fish, black drum, Jack Tuna and trout! His knowledge took us far this day! Captain Eric was very personable and showed much care for his quality in guiding and our satisfaction. If your fishing with these guys, call captain Eric. Won’t be disappointed.

Heck yeah! Love it when a plan comes together. Glad y’all were able to make it happen on a less than perfect weather day.

I would recommend this fishing charter captain to anyone. He was so helpful and knowledgeable of the fishing in the area. We had a less then idea weather day and still managed to bring in some beautiful fish. I’ve been on a few charter around the world and this was hands down a great experience.

We did the oil rig trip. My daughters and I had a blast. Captain Gabe was working hard the whole time to make sure we had a great experience. From getting us to the right spots to showing my whole family how to properly hold the rod for the best chance to hook em. Thank you Captain Gabe!

How many fishermen can you take at once?

Hello, very sorry for the late reply. I did not really know this profile was something I needed to monitor for messages. At any rate maybe this can help someone else. We take up to 6 people on each boat and can handle groups up to 50 or more with multiple boats. we fish 24' bay boats so its best with 3-4 but 5-6 works well too when its calm and we can go out to the oil rigs and fish more vertically.
