Memorable Day on the Water for the Kids and Adults
5 Hour Beginner-Kids Bottom Fishing on June 23, 20262 adults2 children

We had an awesome day out on the water. The fishing started out tough, but the captain and first mate worked hard to find the fish and put us right on them. My boys, ages 10 and 12, had an absolute blast and were thrilled to reel in 5 snapper and a grouper. The seas were running about 3–4 feet, but the ride was comfortable, and it was a huge bonus having a cabin to duck into when the summer heat got intense. Being able to cool off out of the sun made the whole trip even better. Overall, it was a memorable experience for the whole family, and we’d definitely go again.

Even though the weather was not the best and the seas were rough, we still had a great time. The crew worked hard to find the fish and we did catch quite a few. Red snapper, vermillion snapper, and scamp. My grandsons caught fish and that was the purpose of the trip.
