Capt Mike and Deck Hand Lee were amazing hosts. The ocean is no joke and being out with experienced and kind persons makes all the difference. Mike knows all the best spots to find fish and navigates you right to where they bite with ease. Lee is right there to help you with your bait and catch while giving you sound advice. The boat is powerful and capable of handling large waves. Make sure to take some anti-nausea/motion sickness meds. I had 3 kids with me 13, 10, 9 and they enjoyed the trip and no one got sick, except me. Still a great trip and I’d do it again. When you get back on land they clean the fish and package them for you. There are places you can take the fish to have them prepared to enjoy and Mike and Lee will point those out to you. A big thank you to both Mike and Lee for all the work, preparation, dedication, and passion to help others experience fishing in the ocean safely and with ease. Thank you!!

10-Hour Offshore Trip with Captain Mike

10 Hour Trip on July 30, 2023

My son Carson and I had a great fishing trip with Captain Mike and his deckhand Camden. They are very knowledgeable about finding the best spots in the Gulf of Mexico in finding the big fish. We learned about the big fish out there such as the Red Snappers, Barracudas, Tunas, and Wahoos. The crew takes us 50 miles offshore to catch the biggest fish. Along the way, we saw sharks (mostly Hammerheads, not anything like Meg or the Great White Sharks:) If you have kids, this fishing trip will be especially special as the trip will create a memory of a lifetime. At the end of the day, we caught six Red Snappers, a Barracuda, and a Wahoo. Thank you Captain Mike and Camden for this wonderful experience!
