    Wonderful experience

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on July 18, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Had a great time. Caught more Spanish mackerel than we knew what to do with. Caught nice sized founders. And even picked a couple of sharks: one 4ft long bonnethead and grey reef shark(?) Of about the same size. All in 4 hours.

    13th Birthday Trip

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on April 25, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children

    This trip was for my son and his best friend to celebrate my son’s 13th birthday. The boys both caught a lot of fish and they both caught a shark as well. The captain was great, he stepped in and helped the boys when they needed it, but otherwise he just let them fish and that was exactly what they wanted! Definitely a great trip overall!

    Fun time before summer ends

    3 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM on August 8, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had a great time, we caught some fish, although only one was good enough to keep. We also caught a shark which was one of our goals. Definitely recommend Captain Spencer was great and even let us stay out longer due to us not finding fish in the first bit!
