3/4 Day Trip nearshore-offshore
Excellent Fishing Experience
My family and I had an exceptional private fishing charter with Captain Mike Avinon this week. His professionalism, friendly demeanor, and deep knowledge of the Gulf were evident from the start. Captain Mike is a true expert at finding fish, making our trip both successful and enjoyable. This was, without a doubt, the best Gulf fishing charter I have ever taken. We will be using his services again and can't recommend him highly enough. Thank you for a fantastic day, Mike!

Great day of fishing! Caught grouper, snapper, trigger, king mackerel and a big bull shark. Had the throw the snapper back but they were fun to catch. Capt Mike was awesome.
