Full Day Trip
12 Hour Trip – Offshore on May 17, 20224 adults

We had a beautiful day on the water and caught over 70lbs. of Mahi Mahi. It is a great tasting fish that could not be any fresher. After a bit of difficulty finding the location of the boat all went well. Captain is very friendly and the first mate works very hard. If I had one thing to identify that could be improved it would be the availability of getting your catch cleaned when you are done at the end of the day. We had to drive and find another marina that was available to help us. All in all it was a great trip.

Response from Captain

Thank you for fishing with us, I am very sorry for the inconvenience of the fish cleaner , we have actually moved to a different location where this is no longer an issue.

10 Hour Trip – Wreck Fishing on June 11, 20224 adults2 children

Cpt. Dale went above and beyond by going further out than planned to make sure we got in to fish that were biting. The first stop we fished showed plenty of fish but the bite was slow. So we went out further off shore to another spot and got us in to plenty of fish.
