Family fishing trip on the Spring Mix II

First time out for our boys. They had a blast!!!! Captain Chris knew exactly where to take us for some great fishing. Jeremy was the mate on our trip. I can’t say enough about Jeremy. He was great with the kids and we have multiple ages. Very patient and you could see how much he enjoyed teaching them and helping them. We had a great experience and a great catch. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for an amazing experience with great memories to book with them. Very welcoming, knowledgeable and they will make sure you have a fantastic, memorable trip

3 Hour Trip – Shark Fishing

Best shark fishing ever with Capt. Chris

VERIFIED

Capt. Chris and his first mate Jacob helped us catch many, many shark. From a baby pinhead to a sharks over 250lbs. it was amazing. While waiting for the sharks to arrive, they baited another pole with shrimp, which kept our kids busy reeling in snappers and even a puffer fish which they thought was so cool. We have been on charters before and I can tell you, this is a great boat and these guys will put you on fish. If you have a family with kids, they really do a nice job guiding the kids on how to reel in too.

3/4 day with Spring Mix II

VERIFIED

My wife, and our two children w/spouses wanted to get out and do some fishing and enjoy a day on the water. The weather was perfect and Capt. Chris and Jacob did a great job of making it a great day. The fish weren't quite as accommodating but Chris and Jacob found enough of them for everyone to put some in the boat and enjoy a couple of meals of great tasting fish. Next time we're down we'll definitely be planning another trip.
