These waters are known for King Mackerel (Kingfish), Cobia, Great Barracuda, Blue Marlin, Rainbow Runner, Sailfish, Bull Shark, Hammerhead Shark, Mahi Mahi, Cero Mackerel, Gag Grouper, Black Grouper, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some. On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll using light tackle. Capt. Richard can also show you kite fishing.
Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
You'll be fishing aboard a 48' Viking sportfishing vessel with a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. It's customary to tip the Mate 10–20% to show your appreciation.
The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Simply ask and your captain can tell you more. Don't leave home without bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Went offshore with my wife, our kids (8 and 9 years old), and my 74-year-old mother — and every one of us caught fish! We landed 5 Bonita, 2 Blackfin Tuna, and after an unforgettable 40-minute battle, brought a 400+ lb Goliath Grouper to the boat. Absolute catch of a lifetime. The crew made the day fun, safe, and memorable for all ages and helped create an experience our family will never forget. Sharing that moment together across three generations made it even more special. Thank you for an incredible day — highly recommend!
Thank you very much and congratulations on an Awesome catch.
My 3 sons and I just took a 3/4 day fishing trip with Richard and Ellie Mae. We had a great time and the boat was great to fish from. The ac was a life saver for us! We didn’t catch a bunch of fish but our trip was more about bonding than anything else. We didn’t catch catch some fish to use for bait and ended up with 2 reef sharks. One was around 150 pounds. That sealed the deal for us. A huge thanks go out to Jeff and Alec too. We will be back for a Goliath grouper soon!
Thank you so much guys. can’t wait to take you out again.
Boat is old but in good condition and ran well. Mate was a little curt when fishermen were in his way, but I understand. Captain did a great job of keeping us out of the squalls that were with us all day and had a great Playlist. Fish could have been better, but it was literally the worst day ever to be out with rough seas and storms. The boat dog was adorable, but did get in the way sometimes. Overall pretty good trip with a couple nice fish!
Had a really great day on the water with Byrd Dog charters. Caught some barracuda and tuna in the morning and capped the day off with my first goliath grouper, which we safely released. It was a great time and highly recommend anyone to fish with Capt Rich and Jeff.
We caught lots of fish . Mahi , Sailfish and at the end Goliath Grouper! Great captain and mate.
