Great captain and crew for offshore fishing
Full Day Trip – Deep Sea Fishing on May 15, 2026 • 2 adults

The fishing was tough, but it happens. Captain Eric bumped the start back 2 hours because the fish were biting late in the day; and like he said we didnt see much til they spotted some tuna near the end of the trip. They trolled around birds and weed patches. Did everything right. The gear was great. The trolling spread was expertly deployed and maintained. We only ended up catching half a dozen barricuda, but not by any fault of the captain and crew.

Full Day Trip – Deep Sea Fishing on September 19, 2026 • 2 adults

Did a full day deep sea trip just me and the wife. Started with a missed bite then had a sail fish on a short time but the line broke. After that it slowed down for about 5 hours during which we did catch two barracuda. Dylan and Mario worked hard until the end and in the final 30 minutes we caught 4 Mahi. We had three on at once at the end!!! Great day fishing!! But then any day fishing is a great day!

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)

    Well maintained, clean, and very stable boat Capt. and mate were very professional and a lot of fun to fish with. Caught a variety of fish species using both bait and trolling. Enough filets to feed our group and more. If you want a bigger very comfortable boat and excellent crew, these are you guys.
