Captain Jerry will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. He specializes in bottom fishing, trolling, jigging, and spinning, all to get you on that bite. This involves 5 to 9-hour trips, mainly fishing for Mahi-Mahi, Roosterfish, Marlin, Wahoo, Snook, and Snapper, depending on the season and conditions of the day.

Your adventure begins on board a 30’ Bertram boat that can fit a maximum of 5 anglers. The boat is fitted with a toilet, ice box, and a fighting chair with rocket launchers and outriggers.

There will be a first mate on board to help you with anything you need. Tips for good service are always appreciated.

The boat will be supplied with snacks, drinks, and lunch for your pleasure, be sure to let the captain know if you have any questions or want to bring your own.
