    Capt. Wyatt is the man!!

    Full Day Trip – Inshore on June 27, 2026 • 3 adults

    One of the best days of fishing we have ever had! We booked Capt. Wyatt for a full day inshore trip, and he put us on fish from the first place we stopped until the very last cast! We started out by filling the boat with Mahi, and as soon as they stopped biting, we were off to the next spot where we caught some stud AJ’s, Snapper, and a monster Red Grouper! We finally capped off the last hour of the trip with a 38” and a 41” Bull Red! Couldn’t have asked for a better day or a better boat captain! Capt. Wyatt had more than enough bait for any species we came across. And to top it off, we had top notch service; from re-tying frayed lines to dip netting fish, he made sure we were taken care of! I would HIGHLY reccommend to anyone wanting to get put on some fish! We will deffinitely be back! Thanks Capt. Wyatt!

    Captain Wyatt put us on some monster amberjacks

    Full Day Trip – Nearshore on May 31, 2025

    Captain Wyatt is very good at demonstrating how to use all of the equipment and teaching the technique of jigging. We caught a few of our fish on offshore jigs. Super cool! Great captain, great boat, and great trip. Highly recommend!
