Typical half-day trips run between 8:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. dock to dock. If conditions are ideal, we could end up running 30 miles dock to dock. We will venture out up to 10 miles off the coast of Anclote Key if conditions allow. Most trips will not include a mate unless specific arrangements are made beforehand.

The boat is very comfortable in most sea conditions, and you won't get beaten up or thrown around. The gunwales are high and safe for children. There is forward seating and bolster cushions in the stern. The console has a porta-potty-style toilet and a working sink to wash up. The GPS trolling motor makes anchoring a breeze.

At the guest's request, we can stop for dolphins or view other sea life. Bottles of cold water and ice will be provided in the cooler of every trip.

Talk to the captain about the type of trip and what species are being targeted throughout the season. I can usually change the trip type or pivot as long as I have communication.

Our trips are different than your typical inshore charter as we fish in deeper water, targeting reef fish we can keep for table fare. Most of the time, we are using frozen baits, but live bait can be arranged depending on the season. Most of the tackle is spinning reels and light conventional reels on bottom fishing tackle rigs.
