Private Fishing 6 hrs 6:30 AM Fall on October 7, 2025 • 7 adultsWe had a great time in “rough” fishing conditions. Captain Mark hit several spots and all 7 of us caught multiple fish with 14-15 keepers. Also Noah always kept us baited up and line in the water. Weather made it tough, but all in all we had a great time!

Phillip Reynolds•Illinois, USMember since 20255.0Verified4 hour trip - Mingo and squirrel fish
Private Fishing 4 hrs on January 1, 2026 • 6 adults • 2 childrenGreat trip and awesome crew. They took great care of our group. We got about 10 lbs of mingo and squirrel. Unfortunately snapper was out of season by one day. The first mate and captain put together a plan for us to get some fish to keep on a shorter trip this time of year. That was custom and greatly appreciated!

Private Fishing 6 hrs 1:00 PM (S) on June 12, 2024 • 8 adults • 1 childWe had a wonderful time on our fishing expedition with captain David and first mate Kai. Captain David kept the boat moving to the best spots for great fish catching. First mate Kai kept us with bated lures. We also got the chance to catch and release a beautiful 400lb. Shark which was a battle and the highlight. We loved the trip and will have memories to share.
