Talk about some fishing!
3/4 Day Trip on June 9, 20264 adults

Capt. Taylor and Mate Drew definitely knew what they were doing. Conditions not quite smooth as silk and they handled the situation with aplomb. Out of the inlet we hit a large Spanish mackerel right off the bat. Later with five lines out the three of us were kept busy reeling in drums, king and Spanish mackerel, big blues, amber jack and albacores. It was a very rewarding experience and a great day of fishing. This was our second trip captain Taylor. A great bonding experience to have with my nephews. Thank you for another wonderful trip.

3/4 Day Trip on July 14, 20266 adults

highly recommended. Captain Taylor explained the likelihood of rough seas and offered to cut our 3/4 day to a half day closer to shore where the waves wouldnt be as bad. He was game when our group still wanted to give it a go. and it paid off. We got Mahi, mackerel (spanish and king), and barracuda. topped off the day with a sailfish. first mate drew worked his tail off to keep the lines in the water and helped the boys get everything in the boat. truly an unforgettable day on the water.

Reported catch:
Dolphin (Mahi Mahi)
King Mackerel (Kingfish)
Spanish Mackerel
Sailfish

Super friendly crew and an awesome time!
Half Day Trip - 10:30 AM on September 16, 20253 adults2 children

Captain Taylor, and his first mate Drew, gave us a great experience. They are both very friendly and great with kids, They were very knowledgeable and were true “ masters of their craft”. Drew always was maintaining the poles and taking our fish off while talking to us and telling us about what he was doing and why he was doing it. Captain Taylor was driving and finding all the fish. We ended up with a total of 54 fish which they cleaned and packaged for us. Best fishing charter I’ve been on. I’ll be calling them next time we are on the island. Thanks again Captain Taylor and Drew! See you next year!
