Fishing 2026 LPB
8 Hour Trip on May 29, 20266 adults
This experience was not great but beyond excellent! Captain Neslson and Derrick were both very nice, friendly, and super helpful since it was our first trip. We caught a king fish and Wahoo as well. That was great, but it was amazing when they help us with the Sand Bar Shark we caught. Struggle was the best experience they let us achieve and fighting it over 45 minutes was priceless.!!!!!!! Definitely booking again with them

A Great Time
8 Hour Trip on June 6, 20266 adults
The crew was great, put us on fish early. Caught our limit on red snapper, and moved on to catching barracuda’s and a few sharks. Captain was very informative and answered all our questions. This was great for being a family outing. I highly recommend these guys if you are looking to catch some fish and have a great time in the process.

What a Ride.
6 Hour Trip on June 11, 20253 adults
We set out with storms in the area but were forecasted to stay inland. Weatherman got it wrong. We got out to the red snappers and quickly caught our limit before our Captain said we have to head back due to storms approaching. What a ride. I've never seen such wind and high waves. It took us 2.5 hours to get back in, but we were never worried. The captain really knew what he was doing. The Captain and deck hand Derrick were so nice and are real pros. We caught our limit and a great story to go with it. I highly recommend Blue Water Excursions. I wouldn't use anyone else.
