You can get at it on the seas when it's calm & beautiful, or you can brave the wrath of God's mighty ocean like we did today. The choice for some, is obvious.. Jordan & Jason knew what they were doing, and as long as we were cool with pressing on, they were good too. Hell yeah, get it boys! Caught & hooked shark, and then a bunch of other dinner fish to take home and fry up. Definitely let these boys take you out to sea, they know their fickle ocean mistress, and they know where all her bounty are swimming. See you again soon guys!
Paul! We had an absolute blast with you guys! Cant wait to do it again!
Great trip, great crew and great fishing
We had a blast! We were book for a half day 6a trip on a Friday. Received a call from Cap. David the day before letting me know weather out on the gulf was not good for fishing. He offered bay fishing as an option and was very honest about what that fishing looks like and that gulf is more reliable. I asked if there was another morning as an option, he looked and checked with the books and got us in on Monday morn out on the gulf. We had a BLAST. Cap David was awesome and super fun to be around. Got us on fish right away and we all caught and we all also got, got by a few big ones. Would for sure book again and will on my next trip down.
The day started with bait fishing. Small fish that fight harder than anything in a lake or river. On to deeper water... where, first cast, my 16 year old daughter reels in an 8ft SHARK! Fish not biting in that spot... not a problem... Captain Andrew moves us to a spot a couple miles away where my 22 year old daughter reels in a king mackerel so big it almost pulled her out of the boat with it. If you want to have the best day of your entire life... fish with Soggy Bottom. If you come back without a smile... its got to be your fault... cause these guys are amazing!
Had a blast with Cap. Tim and crew. Didnt get on vait like we would have likes to so the fishing wasnt prime. Hooked up a few times but couldnt manage to get them in. Cap. Tim never gave up though. He kept us moving looking for bites. But thats why its called fishing and not catching. It was a pleasant trip and would definitely go out with these guys again.
