Meet Captain Philip Rainey and Fishing DJ Charters

Meet Captain Philip Rainey, the seasoned angler and driving force behind Fishing DJ Charters. Since the tender age of 5, fishing has been more than a pastime for him—it's a lifelong passion deeply ingrained in his roots. Philip's journey began with cherished outings alongside his father, targeting Largemouth Bass and Catfish in the Tennessee River and Kentucky Lake. This early connection to the water evolved into a 28-year military career, during which he pursued diverse fishing experiences across the globe.


Captain Philip's fishing expertise spans a variety of styles and locations. From Salmon, Halibut, and Sturgeon in San Francisco to Steelhead Trout and King Salmon in Washington State, he ventured even further to Alaska for coveted King Salmon and colossal "Barn Door" Halibut. Retiring in Hawaii provided him with opportunities to chase Mahi Mahi, Swordfish, Sailfish, and Marlin. His global exploits include fishing for Tuna and Mahi-mahi in Okinawa, Japan, and enjoying Trout and Carp fishing in Germany. Despite this extensive journey, the Gulf of the Emerald Coast remains his favorite fishing destination, holding a special place in his heart.


What sets Captain Philip apart is his versatile approach to fishing. There's no specific style he favors above all others; instead, he adapts to whatever it takes to hook a fish. Whether it's nearshore, offshore, reef, or wreck fishing, Philip finds joy in the act of fishing itself. As you embark on a Fishing DJ Charter with Captain Philip, anticipate not just a fishing trip but a personalized experience shaped by his lifelong passion, unwavering dedication, and the thrill of the unexpected.
