Sudden Strike Offshore Adventures
Fishing has this wonderful tendency to be both extremely calming and a total rush of adrenaline. Sudden Strike Offshore Adventures understand this really well and they’ll melt your stress away with some reel-screaming action offshore!
Join Captain Scott Housel aboard his 31’ Contender. She’s a center console, meaning there’s plenty of room to move around for you and up to 6 of your fishing buddies. You won’t be sluggish, as there are twin 300 HP Suzuki engines – you can cruise at a maximum speed of 52 knots.
Capt. Scott will take you after some of the most prestigious and toughest fish off the coast of Florida. Get ready to troll for Kingfish, Sailfish, Blue Marlin, and Mahi Mahi, helped by the onboard outriggers. If you want to troll deeper waters, just use the downriggers provided as well. Anglers who prefer live bait will be happy to know that there’s a live bait well onboard – your baitfish won’t get floppy!
You’ll also hit underwater reefs and wrecks, both natural and man-made, where Groupers and Snappers are bountiful. If you’re a spearfisherman Capt. Scott will take you to red-hot waters, but that’s only for advanced anglers.
The captain will supply you with all the necessary fishing gear, as well as drinks to keep your energy up. There’s no minimum age for kids but parents should contact the captain in advance so he can prepare smaller vests. You are encouraged to release all Billfish, though you can keep it if you want (and if it falls within local regulations).
Book a trip and climb aboard for an unforgettable fishing excursion in the gorgeous offshore waters of Florida with Sudden Strike Offshore Adventures!

Top notch charter!!
Had a great experience with Sudden Strike. Captain Scott and Travis worked hard to put us on fish. Both are very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and patient as they instructed some of our party that had never fished before. The boat and all equipment is great quality and in excellent condition. we all enjoyed the conversation and learning experience. Will definitely book with Sudden Strike again.

Half Day – Deepwater (AM)
Memories Made
An amazing trip with my 3 kids, 16,14, and 12. Caught tons of fish and sharks ; would recommend Scott to anyone looking for a true professional who knows what he’s doing and relates well with his customers. The fish dinner that followed exceeded expectations as well. I’ll be looking him up again the next time we’re in town!

Fantastic Day
We were in town for our daughter's graduation. (2) of my daughters went fishing with us. Which was the 1st time ever for both. Everyone caught fish. Some pretty large. A couple of 5'-6' sharks. Captain Scott was awesome an awesome guide. Putting us on fish right away. He did a great job with instruction on how to use the gear and advise on how to set the hook. He is very knowledgeable and a great guide for the highly experienced as well as the novice fisherman. We will be back!

Absolutely Amazing: 7 out of 5 star trip
My husband and father in law wouldn’t stop talking about the experience after we got off the boat. Captain Scott was phenomenal and made sure our hooks were baited and that we were getting bites for the half day trip we did. I definitely recommend this booking a trip with Capt. Scott for any and all ages/skill level. It was my first time out on a charter and we will definitely be booking again when we come back next year!

Perfect day on the water
Captain Scott provided top shelf service. He communicated well before the trip, arrived on time, and got hooks in the water. Scott was very attentive to our needs and was a great conversationalist. We had some good laughs and caught plenty of fish ... and a shark too! We booked a 6 hour deep water trip & Everyone agreed that the time really flew. We highly recommend Sudden Strike and captain Scott.
