6 Hour Trip on March 26, 2025
It was a beautiful day. We had some bites top water trolling early in the day. We heard over the radio 20 boats with no fish in the boat trolling. Switched to 20-30 ft deep on down riggers with no luck over the reef around hour four. Then we fished for yellow tail. I caught a mackerel and as it came into view a barracuda latched on and ripped it in half. We used the mackerel as bait to keep the barracuda in view. The crew did all they could to get it in the boat but the pelicans were swarming the bait fish as we tried to lure the barracuda. My son and I had a great experience and a story to tell. Maybe next time I will get that trophy.

The boat was very comfortable and easy to get to. The captain and mate were very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. We were the first boat out there and we caught several mahi mahi and even released a black grouper on the way in. I would recommend them for charter.
