    You'll head out to great fishing spots, within 5 miles off the coast. This trip will take you after Grouper, Red Snapper, Amberjack, Cobia, or Kingfish. Even if you're not visiting during the summer, bring your sunglasses and sunscreen. Light-colored soles are appreciated, so they don't mark the boat deck. A windbreaker or rain gear is a good idea any time of year.

One of my earliest memories is fishing with my dad. We were wade fishing for Redfish and Speckled Trout in the flats. When I was 12, my dad took me for my first fishing tournament. I won the junior Redfish Division and that was my turning point – I was hooked on catching Redfish for life! Nothing is more exciting than seeing Redfish hooked on your bait. I'll give my best for you to have the best fishing trip ever.
