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
The crew was great and literally did all the work. Had to cut the trip short due to my motion sickness which they were very understanding of. Caught lots of red snapper. Most were just under the size limit but still fun to catch. My wife caught a good size barracuda which took several minutes to reel in. Again-hats off to the Crew!
Thanks! We made the most of it before yall got too green. Hope to see yall on the next one
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.
Crew members knew the spots to hit the fish thata forsure. Barely kept the poles in the water, definitely a fun time. Planning to come back already!
Enjoyed having yall, glad the fish were biting steady all day! congrats again on the wedding.
We arrived as suggested 15 minutes early and within 2 minutes of all the members of the party entering the boat we were heading out on the water, these guys wasted no time and maximized our time out on the water even in this late of the season every one came home with at least 2 keepers. We had a few hiccups like seas sickness and some line tangles and by the time we needed more bait on the line before I could say the world the deck hand was on it and it was taken care of swiflty and safely, highly recommend and we will be back. Fish on!
enjoyed having yall

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.
