A group of us took the 8-hour deep-sea fishing trip and had an amazing experience from start to finish. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly, and the captain was top-notch, making every effort to keep us around the fish and succeeding. Made the entire trip run smoothly. Caught around 12 fish total and had an absolute blast the whole time. We really appreciated that the crew filleted and bagged all the fish for us at the end, which made bringing them home so easy. Highly recommend the 8-hour trip if you really want time to get out farther and have the full experience. Definitely worth it and they’re already talking about going again!
It was a good day on the water! Hope to see yall back this summer
Booked the trip for my 4 years birthday all he wanted to do was fish. Had 3 adults 3 kids all avid fishermen dedicated inshore anglers… we booked this trip to knock a few different species off the bucket list and did just that. 2 hour boat ride to spot was good and smooth and soon as we got there we starting trolling. Within 5/10 minutes our first line started screaming FISH ON king mackerel. Caught a few kings and then ran into a school of mahi. We only got 1 mahi out of the school lost a few . Trolling bite died down we went to deep diving for snapper and the bite was hot the whole time until we timed out. Highly recommend the 8 hour trip with capt Fowler was a good trip and will definitely be back for some sailfish on a 12 hour trip thank you very much capt.
Captains John and Jake were super great on our trip! We caught 3 King Mackerel and our limit on Snapper! They really went above and beyond to make sure we didnt come home empty handed! Fighting the fish was super fun!! Great trip for our Teen!
Thanks for review! Was a great day on the pond
The crew and capitan were happy to help and extremely friendly. They are knowledgeable of the area and the fish that you're able to catch. We caught our limit and were able to have it for dinner that night! highly recommended.
Enjoyed having yall, it was a good day on the water. Congrats again!
It wasnt the best day of fishing ive ever had but it wasnt from lack of effort. The captain and deckhand tried their best to keep us catching fish but there had been a cold front a few days before which we imagine slowed down the bite. We really appreciat that they made multiple passes to really try and put us on. thanks John and Jake.
Enjoyed having yall! Hope to do it again.

I've been fishing since I could walk. I lost my father at a young age but it never stopped me from the outdoors. A lot of my younger life was spent in freshwater but as I went on through the years I felt like I mastered it, so I moved to saltwater. My inspiration has always been to show people a great experience and watch the smiles on people, and I love to make kids have a good time with their parents or family.
