This was our first time scalloping and Shawn made it a very enjoyable experience. We had alot of fun. I would book again. Thanks for a great time!

Captain Shawn is the best!  He brought us to prime areas, and we were catching fish like crazy.  We laughed a lot and had a great time during the entire charter.  Shawn started off as a captain that we didn’t know anything about. Shawn and his family have become our close friend which is an understatement because he is more like family to us.  Thank you, Shawn for everything!  We can’t wait to book our next trip when we are vacationing again in Suwannee with our travel trailer.

This was a very memorable trip. I can’t thank Captain Shawn enough. I’ve been on a couple charters back home in Texas, but this was my favorite charter I’ve been on. We come to Florida each year and I’ve wanted a good fishing trip. Me, both my sons, and my father-in-law took the trip. We met Shawn at the ramp and he welcomed us on his boat and made us comfortable. It was both my sons first charter trip and He took the time to show both of them how to properly use their rods and cast. He was very patient with them, to the point that even when my youngest almost hooked him many times, he did not loose his cool at all(so he is great with kids/young teens.) You can tell that he is definitely a family man by the way that he worked with my boys. He even took the time to explain why things are done certain ways while fishing and the laws that we needed to follow to make sure that we are fishing responsibly and ethically.
The first spot he took us to, we immediately saw a shark which was really cool. He hooked us up and we cast our lines, after a short time, I hooked my first snook, and it shocked me how powerful it was. It was a really good fight. Within 10 minutes, both of my boys also hooked snooks and got to fight with them. Since it was not in season we could not keep them, but just the experience of getting to fight with them was amazing, and for my boys to have that be there first experience fighting a fish will be a memory they will never forget.
He took us to a trout spot, and we ended up hitting the trout hard. I have always wanted to catch trout, so this was a dream come true for me and I am very appreciative of him making this happen. We were literally casting our line out, pulling the slack, and immediately getting hits. So many hits at times, that we had to wait our turn for Captain Shawn to unhook the fish from our lines! Talk about a haul. I kept trying to take pictures, but we also kept getting interrupted by hooking fish so my pictures don’t actually show any fish.
Other cool things we got to see were many dolphins rolling on the water and chasing their own meals, even a couple of them fully jumping out of the water. I saw a couple sea turtles as well which were really cool to look at.
Captain Shawn is going to be my go to guide from now on when I come to Florida. Hearing his story and his journey to become a Captain, you can tell this is his passion. Not just himself fishing, but getting you on the fish and having a memorable experience. Even though at this current time his charter service is newer, you will immediately know just by being with him that he has a vast amount of experience, and knowledge to serve you as your guide Captain. If there is an Up and Coming service, it is definitely Walking on Water Fishing Charters. I can’t wait to get back here next year to do a scallop trip with him. Thank you Captain Shawn!
