Trips start at $220, with each package providing a boating excursion during which you could use light tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, spinning or jigging techniques.

Half day with Capt. Matt

Even though the fish would not cooperate, we still had a great time. Seeing dolphins was the high light of the trip.
