Great fishing trip!

Trip for Sam on March 20, 2026 • 3 adults

We booked our trip last minute but Captain Cheyne made this work for us and very accommodating to our schedule. We had a great time out on the boat with Captain Ryan and he managed to find us some awesome fish to catch although it was a bit slow in the beginning he found a good spot where we caught Sculpen, Bass and Sheephead. I can highly recommend these guys and would be happy to come back again for more fishing!

Half day with Captain Conner

Half Day Trip (PM) on June 22, 2020 • 4 adults

Had a awesome time out on the water! Captain Conner took us to a bunch of different hunny holes for halibut which we were targeting. The day started off fairly slow listening to Jason Aldean over his badA Milwaukee Bluetooth. We ran into a massive bait ball with dolphins every where! We linked into some sizable seabass! Captain Conner of course pulled the first on deck. My girlfriend then matched his.... and of course bigger. As for me... we’ll I lost my one and only chance. Had a good fight for a moment but short lived. Overall great atmosphere and enthusiasm from the Captain. I would absolutely recommend this charter. P.S.... The Bass was DELICIOUS!
