SPI Freedom Fishing
Welcome to SPI Freedom Fishing! Now is the time to have an amazing fishing experience and create great memories with your loved ones. Captain John Fowler is eager and fighting to make every trip better than the last. He thrives off of seeing smiles on the faces of his guests and hoping each one gets to create a memorable experience.
You’ll be fishing aboard a 1985 38’ Delta, repowered in 2021. The boat is upgraded with twin 375 HP Caterpillar engines and reaches the speed of 20 knots. The boat offers modern navigational electronics and top-notch fishing equipment. For better comfort, there’s also a private toilet, kitchen appliances, and a perfect ride on a flybridge.
The trips range from 5-hour family tours to 12-hour hard-core adventures. It all depends on what you want to go after and how much you want to challenge yourself. Closer to the shore, you get to target King Mackerel, Snapper, Cobia, and Triggerfish, while far offshore spots bring big game fish into the game - Sailfish, Marlin, Mahi Mahi, Tuna, Barracuda, and many more.
All fishing equipment and bottled water are included in the price. Feel free to pack your food, drinks, and sun protection for your day out. The crew will also let you keep the catch and clean it for you when you get back to the marina.
The crew hopes everyone aboard Freedom gets to feel how great freedom is on the Gulf of Mexico! SPI Freedom Fishing hopes to catch fish with you on our next trip!

8 Hour Trip
Hell of a day
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.

8 Hour Trip
Excellent trip.
Captain called and suggested change days due to ocean conditions having 7ft swells. Said we could go if we really wanted to but it would be a very rough trip. We agreed and was a smart decision as the next day they were only 1-2ft. We had numerous barracuda bites and landed a few of them. The bite slowed down and switched to bottom fishing catching a bunch of red snapper. Would recommend this trip.
