Best Shoreline Fishing Experience
Pompano/Drum 3hr CLICK DETAILS(i) on June 18, 20262 adults1 child

This was an amazing family-friendly experience! Whether you’re an avid fisherman or someone who tends to get seasick, this excursion was perfect. Captain Jeremy was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and shared so much about the local area and the different species we were catching. He made sure everyone had a great time, regardless of experience level. We had so much fun that we booked another trip before we even left! Highly recommend for families, beginners, and seasoned anglers alike.

Great for the family/beginners
3 Hour Pompano & Drum Surf Fishing on July 30, 20252 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.

Pompano/Drum 3hr CLICK DETAILS(i) on June 13, 20261 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.

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

Fishing this area since I could walk and now I'm in my mid 40's. Started shore fishing by myself around the age of 6. Live on the Island and the Beach and ICWW was a block away when I would get out of school, it was time to fish or surf. I purchased my first 12 ft motor boat at the age of 13 and focused on inshore flats fishing and gigging. In my later teens, offshore fishing in 21' Aquasport for reef fish and pelagics.
