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.

3 Hour Trip – Offshore Mingo (PM) on July 24, 2025
We had an incredible experience with Heath from Reel Job! After our early afternoon trip was canceled due to rough waters, Heath went out of his way to accommodate us for a late-night inshore fishing trip and we’re so glad he did! He was patient, knowledgeable, and made the entire trip fun and memorable, especially for the kids. They caught all kinds of fish, and their excitement was off the charts. We’ll definitely be back for more fishing with Heath. He’s an awesome guide who truly cares about making sure everyone has a great time. Highly recommend!

3 Hour Trip – Offshore Mingo (PM) on July 21, 2025
My 14 year old daughter and I went out and Heath put us on the fish right away! This was our first offshore trip and it most definitely did not disappoint. We ended up getting a 2 person limit and still had time for chasing some big fish. If you're looking for a captain who works hard to keep your line tight, Heath is your man! We will definitely be back on Heaths boat next time! Couldn't have asked for a better trip!
