The species you can catch on your trip include Red Snapper, Black Seabass, Mahi Mahi, Wahoo, Tiger Shark, Black Grouper, Hogfish, Sailfish, and more. Using light and heavy tackle, you can attract them by bottom fishing, deep sea fishing, trolling, jigging, and drift fishing. You’re free to keep your catch as well as to bring kids aboard.

Captain Justin covers you for all the rods, reels, tackle, lures, and fishing licenses, so just bring the food and drinks of your choice.
