Great trip!

Pompano/Drum 3hr CLICK DETAILS(i) on June 13, 2026 • 1 adult

Captain Jeremy is outstanding. He has deep local knowledge and experience, and is generous in sharing it. He displays a genuine love for the sport, the fish, and the environment. We caught Pompano, Whiting, Spanish Mackerel, and Gafftopsail Catfish. A great day on the beach! You can't go wrong booking a trip with him.

Great for the family/beginners

3 Hour Pompano & Drum Surf Fishing on July 30, 2025 • 2 adults

My son had a fear of motion sickness on a boat so we chose the surf option. This was ideal for him to have plenty of room and action for his attention span. The pompano were not cooperating like we all wanted but it was not due to lack of effort of Jeremy and his crew keeping fresh bait on about 8 rods at once. We caught some keeper whiting, with some Jack Crevaille and catfish. Had a big one break off but that happens. You will learn alot about surf fishing and they make sure your kids have a good time. I would definitely recommend.

Shore fished with captain Jeremy. He was great.He was patient with us and shared his vast knowledge.Most importantly we caught fish that he cleaned. He then sent us to a great restaurant where they prepared a delicious meal for us. Will definitely use again when we return to Florida

Shore fishing fun!!!

Pompano/Drum 3hr CLICK DETAILS(i) on March 7, 2026 • 3 adults

Both of my sons and myself had a great time.  Caught lots of Whiteys.  Jeremy was a wealth of knowledge and good fun.  If you’ve got a few hours, the beach is awesome, the fishing great and the sunset better!!!
