6 Hour Trip – Backwater - 1:00 PM on April 2, 20266 adults

What an adventure with Captain Seth! From chasing fish to exploring the area and finding shells, the trip was packed with action and fun. Everyone in our group caught fish, and Captain Seth took us far beyond a standard fishing trip. His knowledge of the water and easygoing style made the whole day feel like a true Florida experience. We had an incredible time and would book again in a heartbeat!

What an experience!!!
4 Hour Trip – Backwater on March 10, 20266 adults

We caught 11 mackerel and tons of other fish. We also caught and released two Goliath grouper but the third one had an unfortunate ending to its life. A 13’ Hammerhead shark literally struck it as Capt Seth had his hand reaching for its gills to lift it. He was lucky to keep his hand! Wow what an adrenaline rush!!!
