Captain Mason and the boat

The official site introduces Brock as a patient guide who works with beginners, children and experienced anglers. Its listed boat is a Blackjack 256 Coastal, with departure arrangements chosen according to the trip.

The usual meeting points are Mexico Beach Boat Ramp and Frank Pate Park. These are separate locations, so wait for the captain’s confirmation rather than choosing whichever is nearest your accommodation.

Trip menu and passenger pricing

Four-hour bay trips are offered in the morning or afternoon, and an eight-hour bay option is also listed. Their base prices cover two guests, with $50 for each additional guest up to six.

The menu also includes a five-hour morning snapper trip, an afternoon nearshore snapper option and an eight-hour nearshore trip. Those listings state that the price includes up to six guests. Current base rates are obtained through the booking link or directly from the business; confirm the complete total and seasonal availability.

Preparing for the outing

The site asks guests to bring drinks, snacks and sunscreen, and describes a 15–20% mate tip as customary. Ask explicitly about license coverage, bait, tackle, fish processing and any optional charges when choosing your itinerary.

Bay fishing is aimed at species such as redfish and trout, while reef and wreck outings offer different targets such as snapper and grouper. The location and what may be retained depend on the trip and conditions. Use phone, email or the official booking link to settle the passenger list, timing and cancellation policy.
