Throughout the year, Get The Gaff offers a range of fishing opportunities in the gulf of Mexico, bays, bayous, inshore, as well as taking you offshore for some more extreme game fishing. Raised in Louisiana, but having moved to Destin as a teenager, Captain Bankston Taylor is well adept at fishing the Gulf and is desperate to share his passion with you.
You’ll drift along the waters aboard a spacious 26’ Robalo center console, allowing for 360-degree vision when fishing, as well as plenty of room to tug and swing when trying to reel in a big one. The boat is powered by brand new twin Yamaha 150 HP engines, so you’ll have no problem getting right out to the heart of the ocean whilst the fishfinder on board will make sure you’re at the sweetest spots for fishing sought-after Grouper, Amberjack, Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, and even wahoo. Get the Gaff also offers daytime Sword fishing trips if the weather permits!
Outriggers are fitted to maximize your chances of catching as many fish as possible, while you’ll be using Daiwa, Penn, and Shimano rods and reels to try and hook them in. Brand new carbon fiber Shimano bent buts with new Shimano Tyrnos II reels or electric deep drop, to reel in the big ones. Fish for live bait at the beginning of the trip, and have some extra bait on the boat. As the waters are so diverse, you can use almost any technique to reel ‘em in, such as drift fishing, bottom fishing, jigging, spinning, trolling, and even gigging for Flounder. Get the Gaff has everything from light tackle to the best heavy tackle you could need.
With Get The Gaff, you can master your skills or simply catch the fishing bug. You’re also encouraged to bring your snorkeling gear as well to get up close and personal with the beautiful creatures under the sea. There’s also a new Garman Fusion radio with JBL speakers and a 10" Bazooka Tube on board so you can blast your favorite tunes as you ride out. The whole family is welcome, so what are you waiting for?
