    This trip is for the Captain to decide what is biting THE BEST and put you on the MOST fish!! We'll either make our way into the Gulf or stay in the bay to catch whatever is biting! In January, that could mean Flounder. In October, it could be Red Fish! In July, it could be Snapper. This takes into account tidal and weather conditions, putting you at the best trip for the current conditions!!
