Captain Larry’s passion for fishing started early, growing up surrounded by the beautiful waterways of Pensacola. Always eager to fish, he initially competed in bass tournaments, but his life changed when a friend introduced him to ocean fishing. Since then, he’s been captivated by the thrill of casting into the open sea and battling big, powerful fish. The unpredictability of what might bite on the other end of the line adds an unmatched excitement to every trip.
We had an amazing experience with Austin as our fishing guide. The trip was enjoyable from start to finish, landing some impressive catches, and we’re looking forward to going out with him again. Captain Larry was fantastic — incredibly patient even when we kept losing bait and provided valuable advice throughout. Being our first fishing charter, he made the adventure fun and stress-free. Highly recommended!
Larry’s easygoing nature and dedication made my first saltwater fishing trip truly memorable. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was enjoyable. Thank you, Jake, for an incredible day on the water. My son and I had our inaugural saltwater fishing outing, and it was absolutely fantastic. Captain Larry and Lucus were very accommodating and patient, which made all the difference. Of course, everyone hopes to catch fish continuously, but that’s the beauty of fishing — it’s about the experience as much as the catch. We appreciated the company of the captain and first mate and treasured the chance to connect with nature. Those moments with my son out on the water will always be cherished. Many thanks for the memories and wishing you a safe and blessed year!
Fishing with Captain Larry was a great experience! Despite it being a slower season with limited species available, he managed to put us on some fish, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. We can’t wait to book another trip this summer. Special thanks to Samuel for an unforgettable outing.
Captain Larry and his first mate Blaine were absolutely incredible! They took the time to get to know us and understand our expectations. Since our nine-year-old is passionate about dolphins, they thoughtfully took us to several spots where we could watch these amazing creatures play. The fishing was enjoyable — even though the catch wasn’t huge, we never had to bait our own hooks or search for fish, which made the trip relaxing and fun. We treasured every fish we did reel in over our three-hour adventure. An unexpected highlight was a BLUE ANGELS air show practice, which added to the excitement! I wholeheartedly recommend this charter, especially for families looking for a memorable fishing experience.
Despite a slightly rough sea and a modest catch, the day on the water was enjoyable. To top it off, we were fortunate enough to see dolphins, making the trip worthwhile overall.

Join Captain Larry for an exciting full-day fishing excursion on the beautiful waterways surrounding Pensacola, FL. This trip focuses on targeting a variety of wreck sites, using techniques such as bottom fishing with drop shots or jigs. To attract those large bottomfish thriving around the wrecks, Captain Larry utilizes cut bait, live bait, and shrimp. After a successful catch, the crew will handle fish cleaning, hoping for a gratuity in appreciation.
If the bite slows down, Captain Larry adapts the strategy by venturing out into deeper waters for trolling. Once the trolling gear is set, the boat cruises at roughly 7 knots, patiently waiting for the lines to tighten. Captain Larry values whichever fishing method proves most effective, so you'll have the opportunity to experiment with various techniques until you find the one that works best.
All rods, reels, tackle, and bait necessary for a productive day on the water are provided by Captain Larry.
