Catch of a LIFETIME
6 Hour–Shark / Goliath Grouper (AM) on February 7, 2025 • 4 adults
There are not enough words to descbribe this wonderful experience we've had with capt. Dylan. We went out on a friday morning to fish for the well known Goliath Grouper. The captain headed offshore and so the adventure started. At first he tried to lure in some other predatory species to see if anything would bite. Then after getting some bites but not raising any fish we decided it was time to focus on the real prize. The bite was very slow that day. Our first spot didn't get us any bites so we decided to move to another one. The captain worked really hard to get us this fish. We changed our position over 7 times covering long distances. Im writing that cause I consider it a very important part of the experience. He could have just told us that there were fish there (even if there weren't) and we could have spent an entire day without getting any action because moving the boat means using fuel which is an expense for the captain. He was very eager to get us that fish changing spots and the bait all the time. He explained everything in simple language and was very talkative. We felt taken care of and welcome. On our last spot we hooked on a goliath grouper which we managed to land thanks to Dylans help and the tricks he used to get us that fish. It was an unforgettable day on the water and we're already planning to book him next year for more adventures like this one. I'd recommend Boca Grande and Beyond Charters to anyone. Thank you Captain so much and we hope to see you next year!

It was a great day for fishing. Dylan took us to several good spots and we were catching fish almost every cast. My arm was sore from catching so much! Definitely a great experience!
