If you're in the market for a day to remember, look no further than Night Runner Sport Fishing. Your guide for the day is Captain Shawn, giving you access to years of professional experience.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Wahoo, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Amberjack, Bigeye Trevally, Bluefin Trevally, Giant Trevally, Long-Tail Red Snapper (Onaga), Green Jobfish, and anything else that bites. On these trips, it's common to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks!

You'll be welcome aboard a 36' sportfishing vessel with room for 6 passengers. It has outriggers, downriggers, a fighting chair, all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There will be a First Mate on board to help your trip run smoothly. Mates often work for tips and it's customary to offer them a 10–20% tip.

Before coming aboard, it will be necessary to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's always wise to bring sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

You could keep reading this, but wouldn't you rather be fishing with Night Runner Sport Fishing?

Full Day Trip on March 3, 20264 adults
The bite was a little slow due to the full moon, but after some time of trolling we were able to switch to bottom fishing. Be ready, because when they hit the fun and work begins. Would recommend this charter. Although we did not meet Capt. Shawn, his crew was great and fun to be around for our trip.
