8 Hour Trip

Best Day of Fishing Ever!!!

I grew up fishing deep water in the keys. I have never fished inshore. I booked a trip with my son with A squared charters and had the best fishing experience possible. The boat was almost brand new and very comfortable. We were flying through the water to the fishing spots. This wasnt a fishing trip it was a catching trip. From the moments our lines hit the water, we were catching fish. Snook, red fish, trout and we even jumped a larger tarpon. The 8 hour trip went by quickly and the action never stopped. We even got to take hoe two redfish and eat them for dinner that night. My 16 year old son could not stop smiling. He actually spend 8 hours without his phone or wifi and enjoyed it. We are planning another trip this summer for sure.
