We were supposed to go out with Captain Pat on Thursday afternoon but the weather was iffy at best.  He recommended that we switch to Friday morning.  Great call as Friday was beautifully calm.  He knew it was the first time my kids had been on a boat so the object was to catch something.  Unfortunately the fish were not biting when we trolled.  He switched tactics and brought us closer in and chum the waters.  Captain Pat was patiently rebaiting our lines as the fish were eating more of the bait vs being caught.  It was a wonderful day and experience. And we did catch some fish (bait fish size).  We would use Captain Pat again.  He was great with all of us and we enjoyed his company.

Scheduled a 3/4 day offshore trip with Captain Pat.  He contacted me the day prior to let me know that the offshore fishing had been horrible for everyone due to the high winds and stirred up water.  We were able to switch to a 4 hr nearshore trip.  My wife and daughter and myself had a great time and caught several sharks.  Offshore fishing boats did horrible and we were glad we heeded the captains advice.  Captain Pat and deckhand Chris worked hard to put us on fish and were very personable and professional.  Thanks for a great day on the water fellas.  Grilled shark was a great ending to the day.

Pat was very honest and forward about what the fish were doing. He didn’t make promises he couldn’t hold up and he tried his heart out. I originally booked an 8 hour off shore trip but he talked to me for a while and explained the off shore fishing had really slowed down and gave me my best options for catching fish. One of my goals on this trip was to catch a shark and boy did he deliver!! We were hooking up with sharks left and right and I landed 2 bonnet head. He also trolled so we could fill the cooler with some Spanish mackerel! Great crew very honest and easy to get along with!!

Fishing late August is always hit or miss. Knowing that going in the fishing wasn’t great but the Pat and Chris did all they could to make something happen. They tried different style of fishing and baits until they found something that worked. We were able to get a few small sharks. That made it a great trip for my kids and I. I would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a charter in the area. Thanks fellas and hope to make it there again.

Definitely stays on top of what is biting. My mission was to catch a couple sharks for keeping. And catch whatever else was biting and good to eat. As I wanted to take it back home. It was pretty much non stop reeling in Spanish Mackerel over 70 for sure. In the first couple hrs. And who knows how many got off. Then the last hr. Caught a handful of smaller sharks. But good eating size. And maybe a pelican. Lol! Released safely of course. Great 4 hr trip! Even though further offshore fishing had been very poor. So we didn’t venture to far from port. Captain Pat definitely knows the best odds on what to keep you busy reeling them in. His mate Ben was great to have on hand as well. Kept the lines in the water as much as possible. And that means more fish.
