Depending on the season and weather conditions you might hook into Red Drum, Black Drum, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Red Snapper, Vermilion Snapper, Mangrove Snapper, Lane Snapper, Cubera Snapper, Black Grouper, Red Grouper, Scamp Grouper, Mahi Mahi, Amberjack, Cobia, Trigger Fish and anything else that bites.

Reel Job welcomes kids aboard, so feel free to make a family day out of it! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Also remember to bring snacks to keep up those energy levels!

You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, as well as lures. Live bait is available, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

There's no need to buy a fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Don't forget to bring sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed, just be sure to avoid glass bottles. There will be some light snacks included on board.

Captain Heath was AWESOME!!!
3 Hour – Night Green Light Inshore - 6:00 PM on June 13, 20262 adults
Being new to saltwater fishing Captain Heath was great! He got me and my wife on fish immediately and when the bite slowed, he moved us and got on more fish. He was super fun to visit with and extremely knowledgeable about the fish species and size limits. We had so much fun and caught a bunch of fish. He cleaned them and we had them for lunch the next day. I would 1000% recommend him and we plan to bring our whole family back to FWB with us and will hit up Captain Heath when we come back. Our expectations were definitely exceeded!!

Go Green Light Fishing!!!!
4 Hour – Night Green Light Inshore on April 6, 20265 adults
For years we have always booked early morning fishing trips, but this time we tried something different. This Captian knew his waters like no other. He already had all the bait we needed and the minute we started fishing, we were popping fish all night long. We had six ppl on the boat and had plenty of room for all of us to fish. We told the Capt we wanted Redfish and he put us on Reds. The we asked for some sea trout and boom he put us on them and we caught some nice ones. Fishing Green lights was an all new atmosphere becuase you can see the monster fish your after in the lights. The best part is this Capt has mastered the art of night fishing, so not only did we catch some nice fish we caught alot (40 plus)
Reported catch:
Mangrove Snapper

Fish and trip of a lifetime!!
8 Hour Trip – Offshore State Waters on January 2, 20266 adults
Captain Heath took myself, my wife, and the boys out December 31st without hesitation!! 22 degrees didn’t stop us from wrangling in a 34 1/2” red grouper that gave me a fight and story that is unparalleled in my experiences of angling fish! Myself, my son, and his 3 closest friends (16 year olds), all caught pigs. One of the boys(Landon) caught a porky snapper that was over 36”!! Heath, thank you for sharing in what amounts to be a cornerstone in these young men’s growth and life! They’ll be talking about this fish story for decades to come! Renita says thank you too even though she was under 5 layers of clothing and a water proof blanket..what a trooper!!!! Definitely going to mount my Grouper!

4 Hour Trip – Offshore - 8:00 AM on April 27, 20262 adults
We had an absolutely incredible experience with Captain Howel! From the moment we got on the boat, he was super personable, easy to talk to, and made everyone feel comfortable and excited for the day. His knowledge of fishing really showed—he put us right on the fish, and we were catching nonstop! He was also incredibly helpful, whether it was giving tips, baiting hooks, or making sure everyone was having a great time. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and wants his guests to have the best experience possible. Will be back for more!!

great family trip
4 Hour Trip – Fish/Snorkel/Swim on April 3, 20266 adults
Captain Heath is fantastic. He was great with my kids who started fishing, but were just making noise and running an imaginary bait shop (with real bait) by the end. We still caught a few fish, got some pictures, and took a quick swim. This was the perfect excursion for my family, and Heath was happy to do whatever we wanted. Heath was well equipped and demonstrated a great understanding of local fishing spots. i have no doubt we could have caught more if my family had been more serious about it. A five star experience. Thank you, Captain Heath.
