You can utilize light tackle and heavy tackle to try bottom fishing, big game fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, popping, as well as drift fishing.
Capt. Jonathan will take care of all the fishing rods, reels, tackle, live bait, and lures. If you decide to keep your catch, the captain can even clean and fillet it for you at the end of the trip at no extra charge, although tips are welcome. Kids are welcome to join aboard, so there's fun for the whole family!
A note from the captain: fuel cost is not included in the price. This is usually $400-$700 depending on fuel prices and what you fish for.

My group of four fished with CA Jonathan on Thursday 19 Oct 2023. Jonathan has a great set up in his Contender boat and rod set up. He was early for pick up at the dock and was very accommodating on what we expected from the trip. We caught eight very nice yellowfin tuna, multiple barracuda and a few big sharks. The one thing that stands out for me as a customer is this; our trip lasted eleven hours and CA Jonathan NEVER took a break. He constantly moved for us the entire time. A relentless and extremely devoted fisherman. We will definitely be back onboard with him again. Thanks Jonathan!! Great Trip
Probably our best day of fishing ever. We caught limits of tuna, red snapper and cobia, plus some bonus mangrove snappers. Jonathan's knowledge and experience were great. He put us on the fish and made sure we were ready to get them in the boat.
Put us on the fish. Caught many new species. Broke many PB. Learned different techniques
