Captain Ken was excellent from start to finish on our 1/2 day trip.  Super welcoming from the moment we arrived, knowledgable, professional and entertaining in exactly the right amount. He knew the best spots and was super helpful in guiding us to be successful. Being from Michigan, our style of fishing is different than is required in FL, and Ken set us up for success by teaching us how to cast, wait, and land some great fighting fish! We could not have asked for a better guide or experience to highlight our vacation in Melbourne.

we made a short notice booking with a cold front moving in. We showed up at 07:15am at the meeting location and off we went.  The tempature was 39 deg with a 5-7mph wind with a high of 59-deg. for the day.  looking for warm water we stopped at location #1 and with in 30-45 minutes we had 3 of the biggest sheepshead fish of the season (per guide).  Then off to location #2 for some Red fish, by the third cast a red fish hit and ran straight for the boat with a massive run and pulled the hook, (now that was a trophy red).  This put the whole boat on high Red alert!  Well as an experienced fisherman from the west this style of fishing was a little learning curve for sure. After a few missed opportunities we landed 3 Reds, only problem was all reds were not allowed to be kept so back in the water they went. Dang it! After everyone had a sheepshead, a red, we went after the blackdrum to complete our Drum Slam. We loaded up and went on a hunt for black drum at location #3.  With in a short amount of time my daughter caught 2 black drum to complete a Drum slam for the boat.  With limited expectations due to weather you could say it was a successful experience and trip.

Ken stopped at nothing to make sure we got on some fish. Conditions were tough, but ultimately Ken found the fish, and we went home with some great tasting fish for dinner. Ken was very friendly, the boat was clean, and the entire experience was well worth the money. We would all 100% recommend fishing with Ken and Red Alert fishing Charters!

We had the toughest conditions of the year (windy/ cold) but the captain made every effort to take care of us, including staying much later than our alloted time to take care of us.  Captain was AMAZING with my 8 year old and went waaaaay out of his way to make my kiddo have fun.  He even jumped in the water to try and help my kiddo land a huge drum fish by getting the line away from some pier moorings. I simply can’t say enough good things about this charter trip

Ken exceeded our expectations.  His knowledge of the area had us on fish right away.  The boat, rods & reels are well maintained and newer.  He treated us as a person and not just as a customer.  He got mad skills when it comes to fishing.  We caught a lot of fish. It was a very pleasurable and fun excursion!  We’ll definitely be doing it again.  Highly recommend if you want to get a charter go with Ken and Red Alert.  You will not be disappointed!
